    the rarest pearl jam song you have heard live...

    Some will say this doesn't count... :D
    BUT it WAS AT A PJ SHOW... so I'm COUNTING IT!!! :lol:

    Last year at the Columbus show,
    Mike did a 2 song Pre-open set and he performed:
    Dead Flowers- I think :? it's a Rolling Stones cover, so technically, I guess this one doesn't count.
    and
    That's Alright - this one is listed as a PJ Original!!! therefore a PEARL JAM SONG!!
    Both of these songs have only been performed ONCE... :ugeek:

    '98: Seattle: Memorial Stadium 1 & 2
    '00: Columbus: Polaris
    '03: Columbus: Germain
    '10: Columbus: Nationwide Arena
    '11: East Troy: Alpine Valley - PJ20 1 & 2 + EV Detroit

    It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.

    Supersonic - OTOTO with the different lyrics about the Seattle Supersonics performed in Seattle 2009.
    No Way (Played 9 times total live but at the time was first time since 1998) - Seattle, September 22nd, 2009

    My first concert was when 7 songs into it, Neil Young took over because Ed had food poisioning so I have a bunch of songs that are Neil Young songs performed with Pearl Jam minus Ed. Like Cortez the Killer. Which according to the PJ website they've only played once but for some reason they're not including the time it was played in San Francisco in 1995.

    Rarest PJ song is probably Undone or Speed of Sound.

    Rarest cover is Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love. (AWESOME concert memory that is!)

    So I wanted to determine the rarest possible PJ song to hear, and the answer is "Let me Sleep". It is a PJ Original that has been played only once, but it is also has been the longest time since it has been played. This method works fine for looking at songs that have only been played once. But if you wanted to compare say "bugs" (played once) with "just a girl" (played twice), then it's a bit more tricky. It's been 20 years since they've played "Just a girl". So I divided the # of times played by the number of days since it was last played. Sure it might not be a perfect method, but it's all I have time to do now. It seems to work pretty well. For example, "Let me sleep" is the rarest using this method, and "Even flow" is the least rare. That makes sense. But I'm not sure if makes sense that "Last Soldier" (played twice) is slightly more rare than "Angel" (played 4 times), just beause Angel was played twice as many times.

    It was fatal in buffalo at HSBC. Amazing think its been played 3 times or so

    Fatal - Marseille, 2006. Regardless of how rare it was, one of the greatest moments of an overall great show.
