For me rare is the literal definition, meaning valued for it's uncommonness. So, even if I don't like the song if it hasn't been performed often then it's rare.

That's pretty much my view too.

I was just thinking, Open All Night (the Bounce version) was so unexpected to played live. It wasn't even played live on the Bounce tour. It wasnt until the Lost Highway tour that it was played for the first time (I think), and now about 5 times on The Circle tour. Am I the only one who finds that bizarre? Even though we all know Jon loves the song.

They should do this with some of their other songs *cough* Without Love *cough*.

Yeah strange... first time that this happened, I think: That they premiered a song long after the original tour of the album it belongs to. But with this band we have learned lately to never say never.
Even if I'm not sure what is the bigger disappointment: That they don't play "Tokyo Road", "Homebound Train", "Let It Rock", "This Ain't A Love Song", "Roulette" for years, one dares to say: decades, then dust them off, just to forget about them after just one (!) or a couple of performances...

I'm still waiting for "Learn To Love" to be premiered. I thought it would be an obvious live song. When they hit Europe in summer, I still want it to be "The Circle Tour" and I want them to play all those song I haven't heard yet. That just as a sidenote. ;-)

I've always wanted them to play Fields of Fire.

I never thought it was played. Just found it...


This is very rare and somewhat raw since it is the first time even before the studio version. I really love the lyrics and passion in this song. Ya never know..they might play it..anything in this life is possible. ;)

"Let's Make it Baby" was played 1 time that I know of.

Here's a review that I found listing it on the setlist in 98' at the FC trip in Florida. I was there and almost dropped my drink when it started. Great memory. :)

That Geocities website style takes me back! :lol:

they should play love me back to life, that could (should) be awesome live

has Dirty Little Secret ever been played live?

no ..... at the elements years ago Jon said during one of the first JON q&a that he thought that song with a couple of others sucked
I doubt they will ever do that one

I agree. It sucks.
