Soldier Of Love - Played only 20 times 8/17/00 (Nashville, TN)
Cropduster - Played only 39 times 4/18/03 (Nashville, TN)
Parting Ways - Played only 19 times 4/18/03 (Nashville, TN)
Know Your Rights - Played only 18 times 4/18/03 (Nashville, TN)
Bushleaguer - Played only 32 times 4/18/03 (Nashville, TN)
Fortunate Son - Played only 20 times 4/18/03 (Nashville, TN)

I went for songs that I've seen that have been played less than 40 times total. Sadly, the last full PJ show that I saw was that 03 show. They need to come back this way soon! coughPLAYTHESOUTHcough

dock of the bay....way to go, my very favourite PJ cover, and a key element of the No fucking Messiah CD - probably the only reason to still own it

great version.

And by the way, the question was "original songs"--not covers y'all! So, crown of thorns, wont back down, little wing and others would not count in this lil survey

neither would stuff and nonsense then!

Seriously?!?!? How many shows? Angel and let me sleep are so rare they didn't even make my list! I only included Just a girl because of the Ten re-release.

I thought the thread was only for PJ originals you've seen?

not covers...

(Reads thread title and scratches head)

support act: Buzzcocks
set: Can't Keep, Daughter, 1/2 Full, Go, Save You, Ghost, Better Man, Grievance, Evacuation, Even Flow, In Hiding, Cropduster, Corduroy, Elderly Woman, Red Mosquito, improv, Rearviewmirror
enc 1: Given To Fly, Wishlist, Not For You/(Start Me Up), Footsteps, Do The Evolution, Jeremy

Those were the only songs i've seen live.

I'd have to go with the improv or the tag on Wishlist.

Ghost was only played 15 times.

well if we're including covers and other stuff I'd say the rarest would be Eddie Vedder w/ Corin Tucker: "You Belong to Me"

Or maybe Crapshoot Rapture
