    Great song, but a cover, saw them play that at the o2 IIRC.

    Rare to me would be 15 times or less.

    I've heard them play Brother and No Way (10 shows). Also Low Light and Long Road (dont know how many times they've played these), plus Breath - really special.

    The answer I was looking for was a number, and my post contains no numbers, so I'll take that as a "I was Just kidding". There are people out there who have seen a ridiculous amount of shows.

    I guess at this point it would be Bugs! But also - Sad (1st time played - Reading 04), Education(Lolla 07), Leash when it was brought back, Don't Gimme No Lip(Ottawa 05), Tremor Christ(Philly 09), Satan's Bed (03 the State College version hehe); all I can think of this early in the morning.

    Education (played 6 times)
    All Night (12 times)

    I don't really get off on the rare songs unless they're ones I happen to really like, but then I've only seen the band 5 times so there's still lots of non-rare stuff that I'm dying to hear live - I Am Mine, Light Years, Oceans, Nothingman are four that spring to mind. All of which will hopefully appear in Dublin or Belfast next June. ;)

    I wouldn't say it is a rare one but i had never heard rats until the o2 this year. Up until the last tour it was rarely played so it was a nice surprise to hear especially with the snippets of Ben as the intro. The ones i want but i doubt i will get is Tremor Christ & Pilate Tremor is my all time favourite & i named my dog Pilate.
