    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.

    Hopefully they will give us a good show and some rareties in NY like "Rival" or "Smile" or even "Dissident" I know the last two are not rare but I like those two songs

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