I've been lucky to have seen Country Day and The Rules (the rules 3 times).

I was really hoping to hear The Rules when I went to 3 of 6 shows at Massey Hall. Unfortunately, I didn't go to the final show.

[Marcus1970]

Leave, by a long shot.

This love for Leave has forced me to give it a few listens today. It's actually a nice Sunday afternoon chill-out tune. Still not sure how it would translate to a concert setting.

wheres Lets Stay Engaged???

Engaged is definitely a rare tune and is right after Apartment Song as the least song played from TATH. It would have been the rarest TATH song if they didn't pull it out of retirement a few times in 2000 and once in 2007.

I got "Engaged" at Cobo Arena in Detroit, December of 2000. I have that show on cd and it sounds awesome!

You also got 'Sharks' at that show.
Damn, there's another amazing tune they never play.

I always thought that was the reason its never played i.e. the tempo and melody progression would be hard to pull off in a live setting. It's almost like two songs stitched together ... still love it though.

Looking for a place to happen was played a bunch on the theatre tour in 2009...can't see it being in the same class as the rest of them.

Country day, please. My favourite song on all the albums since M@W.

I agree that LFAPTH seems out of place on this list but based on the concert stats, it is the least played song from Fully Completely. Despite some appearance in 2009, this song has only been played live 11 times in the last decade.

Perhaps We'll Go Too or The Wherewithal would have made more sense. That actually reminds me of a 2006 Buffalo show I went to where they played both those tunes.

Leave would be it for me. Though, The Rules comes a close second.

In Edmonton a few years ago, I managed to see Emperor Penguin AND Escape is at Hand, two of my favourites.

[restlesssoul]

I went with I'm A Werewolf, Baby.

I'd kill for ANYTHING from that first one.

I have seen:

The Rulesx3
Last Night I Dreamedx1

crazy list, very cool to see these. I would like to see a list of all the goose egg songs. By the way how is this known? There are many, many shows in the database missing setlist info, this is just to our best knowledge, I guess. My first Hip show in '97 is not known, so my stats are missing one show.


SHOCKED to see that EMERGENCY has never been played, that is just a friggin shame. One of my fav's top 10 for sure. Heart of the Melt is killer too.

[Marcus1970]

Thanks to everyone who commented or cast a vote. Nice to see that every song got some kind of recognition.

[Naga]

Here's to Emergency. Also, its partner in obscurity, Impossibilium.

[nnyvt]

would love to hear heart of the melt and leave, have seen rules (albany October 2000 i think (night after infamous syracuce show at the landmark), Country Day ( one of the 8 shows from 2009, don't remember which one) and Looking for a Place to Happen.

[Jack Straw]

You know I ranted and raved when they dropped Country Day from the setlists fairly early on back in 2009. Next to Depression Suite it is my favourite song off that album and I thought it had some good live potential.

I've always been sceptical of the LFAPTH stats. It just seems way too low. The problem in all of this is the substantial holes in the know databases. That being said, I thought I'd have a couple more than I do. Right place at the right time for some of these rarities.

I liked the 'One & Done' comment... The back end of that whole album seemed to fall off a cliff as the tour went on...

[sherpa]

I was lucky enough to hear what I believe was the only live version of Emergency way back in about 93 before Day For Night came out at The Phoenix for a private benefit show they played with Pursuit of Happiness.
