rare songs from your favorite bands

extended version of Bluebird - Buffalo Springfield, "Bluebird" was recorded at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood with Stills, Young, Furay, and drummer Dewey Martin. Original Buffalo Springfield bassist Bruce Palmer had been deported to Canada and, for the session, was replaced by Bobby West.

Pearl Jam - State of Love and Trust
Foo FIghters - Down In the Park
Smashing Pumpkins - Drown

It's on their Greatest Hits album, setlist says it's been played over 400 times live - I don't know if it was a single but radio stations played it - saw Eddie play it live with the Gaslight Anthem in Pensacola in 2012 or so, very fricking cool.

Pumpkins started playing Drown again alive last year, they played it at Champion's Square - such an underrated song

Not sure it's rare per say, but never released on digital format, it's on various cd releases, even released as a cd single to radio stations in the Netherlands (?) - Foo Fighter's cover of Baker Street off the same recording sessions as Down in the Park is pretty outstanding..

Adam Duritz has an amazing cover of Carmelita by Warren Zevon that's only on like an Imus comp, and maybe one other cd - it's a shame so many songs don't have proper digital releases for people to buy or to put on spotify, etc that aren't compressed mp3 versions on youtube

Irish Goodbyes by the Menzingers is one of my favorite songs of the last like 10 years that was only physically released on a really small random comp - thank god for digital

Love "Little Dreamer".

If you were a grunge or alternative fan in the early 90s you definitely heard the Singles soundtrack but I don't know if younger fans or more casual fans would be familiar with those songs. I never heard them on the radio and they didn't have videos. They may have been played them live but I doubt many casual fans are listening to bootlegs, especially from 25 years ago.

For sure. They also played State of Love and Trust during their MTV Unplugged set.

Breath is another song that only appeared on the Singles soundtrack. Great song, but it's rarely played live.

Played them back to back at the last PJ show I went to
