Did Dead Base Change Set Lists

Did set lists become more varied night to night once Dead Base came out in the 80's and the Dead became aware of how closely it was all being tracked and how it was easily shared?

I see the 70s and early 80s
I see the 70s and early 80s tours as a lot of one-offs, moving from city to city. The more they set up multi-night runs (MSG, Spectrum, Byrne, Shorline, etc) they probably made more of an effort. Plus, a lot less albums to promote.

Doubt it had anything to do
Doubt it had anything to do with DeadBase, but IMO setlists got more predictable from the 80s into the 90s. They did try to have no repeats in 3 consecutive shows during that time, if that's what you mean.

The Dead Base guys worked at
The Dead Base guys worked at DEC a company that was the Oracle of it's time. They had access to the best data base technology and computing power at the time. So yes there were set lists before but not easy access to things like last played. I remember coming out of the Landover Ripple encore show and overheard the conversation next to me and the guy was saying that last electric Ripple was blah blah blah I don't even remember, but he not only knew but knew that it wasn't acoustic.
I don't think that kind of detail didn't happen before Dead Base. Oh yeah and the guy walking out was right because I checked my Dead Base in the car when I got back.
I find it interesting more in a larger conversation of how observation changes things. I guess I've been watching to much Devs.

No I'm sure it did exist in innie circles. Dead Base made it possible for a dumb teenager in New Hampshire to know too.
