    That was unbelievably cool, even though it was abbreviated and just the chorus. I had a blast at that show, coldness and all.

    yeah it was. I remember Ed starting the song, and then he said 'i forgot how that one goes'. my heart skipped a beat thinking he wont play it now. but he played it nonetheless and i was happy i was there to witness it. New Garden and I Got Shit were two other rare gems in that show, i guess. the cold and the rain were a non-factor once they started the show.
    my signature.

  • if we talkin' bout pearl jam... then i'm sure i have the same response as lots of folks around here, which would be education from lollapalooza last year...

    otherwise... hmm...
    i honestly don't know - i haven't seen the other bands enough to even make a guess as to what would be "rare" during one of their setlists. as far as i know, what i saw by those bands (i.e. aerosmith, def leppard, breaking benjamin, ac/dc, velvet revolver, etc...) would be songs of a normal setlist by them.

    PJ - Education, at Lolla. had always wanted to hear it.
    Cover - No Surrender - East Rutherford 06 - it was an Ed pre-set song, but listed on the page, so I guess it counts.

    R.i.p. My Dad - May 28, 2007
    R.i.p. Black Tail (cat) - Sept. 20, 2008

    My PJ songs would be Bee Girl, Arc and Don't Gimme No Lip (First Time played)

    The covers would be Harvest Moon, Driven To Tears and You've Got To Hide Your Love Away

    Based on the PJ web site song list...

    Forever Young cover, Boston I 2006 - the only time it's been played (per the list). It was Bob Dylan's b-day. Very cool.

    I was also at the 4/10/94 Boston show - one of the 3 times they've played Sweet Emotion (the Aerosmith boys were in attendance).

    And, the 5/13/06 Hartford show where Eddie 1st attempted I'm Open.
