[Indi Trehan]

agree with the oilman (as always), this is what he said.  at some point in
the development of a song, he said they will have tried it in some form
before a live audience to see how well it plays.  even for songs written
while they are in the studio, for example much of Breathe, i have to
imagine that they would play each song at least once afterwards to see how
much people like it - you never know what people are going to love live
and i'm sure they give each song at least one shot to catch on.

just because we've never seen it on a set list doesn't mean it hasn't been
played.  if a tree falls...
