====Rare / Retired Songs=With Teeth Rehearsal Audio===Unofficially released tour rehearsal audio for the [[Live: With Teeth]] tour was made available by [[Echoing The Sound]] user mofoboy25, which included live audio of the song "Sunspots". This means that, whilst as-live audio of this song exists, it was not played to an audience and thus doesn't strictly count as "live".
