    Based on that list I'm assuming you were at the Halloween Spectrum show? All four songs were absoutely epic. Bugs and Sweet Lew will never be heard again live I'm sure.

    Fatal
    undone
    supersonic
    no way
    dead man
    force of nature
    arc
    around the bend
    help help
    dirty frank
    all or none
    all night
    crown of thorns
    ghost
    cant keep
    low light
    hard to imagine
    big wave
    alone
    of the girl
    thin air


    I think I've seen them 10 times

    Who You Are - Bonnaroo 08 (played 34 times)

    as much as i don't want to be an annoying bummer, but i don't think you should count songs that had heavy rotation during 1 tour...for instance All Night, Who You Are, and WMA (all during the 08 tour)...this is because chances are if you went to a show during that tour, you heard that song. this also pertains to Leash and Glorified G in 06.

    but for me i'd say (not including heavy roatations)

    Hard To imagine, (MSG 08 I), 33
    Love Reign O'er Me, (MSG 08 I), 14 (if we're counting covers)
    All Along the Watch Tower, (MSG 08 I) 8
    Army Reserve, (East Rutheford 06 I) 22

    it also depends on where we cut it off...i saw your highest play count was 34 so i didn't go past that...but in searching play counts i saw some upper 30's some 40's 50's 60's...where should we draw the line? i'll amend my list later if we agree on a #

    EDIT: only seen them twice :(

    Its funny that you say that to him about heavy rotation yet you put HTI which opened pretty much every second show on the 08 tour and was played as many, if not more then WMA.

    just sayin' ;)

    I stopped at around 15, anything played more then 15 times isnt really like mega rare.
    {if (work != 0) {
    work = work + 1;

    That's correct, shows 9 and 10 for me.

    But I've also heard HTI 4 times, Alone twice, Crown of Thorns twice, Don't Gimme No Lip twice, Around The Bend, Satan's Bed twice, Low Light, Education, Bee Girl twice...

    That's just off the top of my head. Not bad huh?

    nope HTI only played 4 times out of 13 shows in 08...granted that's a lot, but i wouldn't call that heavy

    EDIT: you know what, WMA was only played 5 times...i coulda sworn it was more...ok WMA is cool to put on the list...i say heavy rotation is a song being played more than half the shows on a tour, so All Night is still out heavy rotation

    EDIT #2: (promise last one) never mind, WMA is in the 80's wouldn't call that rare
