As far as I'm concerned, that doesn't count. I'll have heard BoR live when I've heard the REAL one!

ahh i was not aware of this. that's a valid point. same as when i heard Always on the HAND tour, but it was TLFR so i never counted it.

Is Blood On Blood considered rare? It only gets played a couple of times a tour and I was bitterly disappointed not to hear it on Friday, I love it.

Lay Your Hands On Me (original version)
Livin' In Sin
Right Side Of Wrong
Stranger In This Town
Any Other Day
I'll Be There For You (Jon on vocals)
Diamond Ring
Mystery Train
Never Say Goodbye (acoustic)
Blaze Of Glory (original)
Wild Is the Wind
Blood Money
Open All Night
I Get a Rush
Garageland
Miss Fourth Of July
In These Arms (David on vocals)
Damned
Always (original version)
One Wild Night
Hey God
Bed Of Roses (original version)
These Days (Jon on vocals)
Stick To Your Guns
Dry County
This Ain't A Love Song
Undivided
Last Cigarette
Lie To Me
I Believe

Phew. There are some rare covers also, and some songs you may consider rarities, but I put here what I think are real big rarities that matter. You're free to question my choices

What about the acoustic version of Saturday Night? We got that at the second night in Sydney and it was only played once in canada!

Being at two or three shows and saying I got dry county twice doesnt count because that way ur only considering the shows you've been to and ur not considering how freaking lucky you were :P

Also, I believe rarities are something that is build over the years. Sat. Night to me ain't such a rarity because it was played every tour, often or not.

IMO this tour..

Stick to your guns is the ultimate rarity.

This ain't a love song and Lie to me are the OMFG rarities. (not played since the album tour)

Damned, Hey God, Bed of Roses, Wild is the wind are the OMG rarities. (some not played since a long time and not often either)

Dry county, Diamond ring, These Days are great rarities (almost never played since '96)

And the rest..

Yeah, Never say goodbye acquired rarity status, a real shame.

I didn't mention the post 96 songs because I don't really care about them but there are some rarities on those albums. Didn't they play Open all night (bounce version) for the first and only time this tour?

I quoted myself because reading this I begun wondering..

What would be more rare than Stick to your guns?

To decide that we would have to consider:

* STYG was played once in 1989. Never again until this tour.
* It didn't become a regular. Just a one time thing.

If I Was Your Mother IMO is in the same rarity league. Played only once during its debut tour.

So, that leaves out every song played more than once during its debut tour.

That leaves us with the unplayed ones.

Without Love, Secret Dreams, To The Fire, Hearts Breaking Even and some others.

What do u guys think?

What's rare anymore?
