Default What's rare anymore?

Ok, Seb said this in the London Night Two Thread:

Ok, let me first state I'm NOT trying to pick some sort of fight with Seb, nor is this thread specifically about London. Rather, it's about what constitutes a rare song. Is Always still a rare song? I think so. Yes, it's become a semi-regular in Europe, but before that it hadn't been played for (nary a handful of times in 01 and 03) 10 years. Does 12 or so performances really make up for that? What about a song like Any Other Day? It's barely been played, especially when compared to other LH songs. I'm not trying argue. i just think that the band has pulled out so many good songs in Europe this past month, that people's opinions are being a bit skewed.
Maybe I'm just a jealous American.
