    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

    but the majority of those 80 were tags

    Driftin' (Montreal 03- Eddie preset) 4?
    Ghost (Montreal 03) 15
    Arc (Montreal 03) 9

    Alone (Boston II 04) 37
    Man of the Hour (Boston II 04) 40
    Parting Ways (Boston II 04) 19

    Hard to Imagine (Halifax 05) 33
    Bu$hleaguer (Halifax 05) 32

    Wash (Boston II 08) 73...
    Education (Boston II 08) 6
    Satan's Bed (Boston II 08) 22
    Bee Girl (Boston II 08) 11
    Who You Are (Boston II 08) 34
    No More (Boston II 08) 17
    Footsteps (Boston II 08) 78

    Of the Girl (Toronto 09) 37
    The Fixer (Toronto 09) 32
    Got Some (Toronto 09) 30

    So I guess the rarest original is: Education (Driftin' stats are questionable as Montreal isn't listed on PJ.com)

    They count the tags, hearing the whole thing is pretty rare.

    As for HTI I went to 5 shows and heard it twice.

    Bugs and Sweet Lew will never be heard again live I'm sure.


    There is a reason they were never played before that, coz they suck.

    there i said, shoot me.

    that's my issue too...the OP's stopped at 34 plays so i just counted ones under that...but i found plenty of high 30's 40's 50's 60's etc...really you don't see the staples till the 3 digits...

    i think hold on is the only rarity i've seen. not bad for 2 shows. unless you count 7wc, cuz i saw parting ways live there... and ed doing split enz/crowded house/general finn tunes.

    Crown Of Thorns: played 14 times - 12 in the U.S. - I've been lucky enough to see it twice.

    Parachutes: only played 10 times in the U.S. - I've seen it once.

    Big Wave: played 25 times total, but only 13 in the U.S., 8 of which were California, and 3 in Hawaii. I've seen it once. (I wonder if there's a conscious decision or just coincidence to play this song near the ocean most of the time? If you look at the dates/places it was played, other than the Gorge, Hartford and a few European shows, the majority of the performances were in California, Hawaii, and Australia!)

    Tremor Christ: It's been played 57 times total, but only 12 times in the last 11 years! I've only seen it once in 1995 in Osaka, Japan.

    Pilate: Played 12 times, 10 in the U.S. I've seen it once.

    Rival: Played 19 times, 12 in the U.S. I've seen it once (San Diego 2000, along with Pilate, Parting Ways, and Don't be Shy cover - GREAT SHOW, right after seeing 10th Anniversary show in Vegas!)
