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".

"Zero-Sum" has never been played as a standalone piece; however, a piano version was regularly used as an outro to "In This Twilight".

"Everything" (though video/audio footage has confirmed it has been rehearsed)

"Not Anymore"
