Benny sits down with Chris Wilson, aka PrettyNights, one of the Pretty Lights community’s most dedicated historians and archivists.

What began as a project to document Pretty Lights history has grown into a massive resource for the community, first as a website and now as an app. PrettyNights brings together discovered setlists from across the years and gives fans a way to track the shows they’ve attended, the songs they’ve heard live, and their own personal journey through Pretty Lights history.

Chris joins Benny to talk about how the project began, the work that goes into preserving years of shows and setlists, how the platform has evolved, and why documenting this history matters to the PL community.

Toward the end of the conversation, Kris, aka ToferToast/Yellow Shirt Guy, hops on to join Benny with a few more questions for Chris, digging further into the archive, the evolution of PrettyNights, and what comes next.

Whether you’ve been following Pretty Lights for years or are still building your own show history, this episode is a look at the people helping preserve the story of Pretty Lights one setlist, song, and show at a time. 🌀
