Apparently, according to Greg Brook´s book "A Concert Documentary", it was played only once; but as it did not work on stage because of its complex musical structure, it was never played again.
According to this book both The Night Comes Down and Jesus were NEVER played which is bollocks...

i have two recordings of the intro of fun it: Chicago 78 and Berlin 79. Which concert from Paris has it too?
There is "My Fairy King" which was never played but an intro was played in 1985 in Japan. I think it's the concert of 15/05/85 but i'm not sure. I have two recordings of Life Is Real (New Jersey 82 and Chicago 82) but it might have been played more times.
The problem is that we have quite few recordings of concerts of Queen so we don't know many things...

Dear Friends was definitely NOT played live. Never.
Teo Torriatte was played in Japan so many times that it can hardly count as "rare song".
Fun It or Las Palabras were just very short intros, don't know if they can count.
I vote for Sleeping On The Sidewalk with one, max. two appearances in the setlist. Even Jesus or Night Comes Down were played more times, I'm sure.

I'd say that the rarest live song Queen played would be White Christmas - somewhere in the US in '78........

Yes, White Christmas is a good bet.
Rock It, Flash's Theme or Procession were played relatively often.

If your talking about non Queen songs then Mannish Boy must be up there as well from glasgow 1977.Also I have an interview with Roger on tape from 86 where he says that the band used to play Rip it Up by Elvis on stage.I Know The cross used to play it but that was long after this interview.Anybody heard Queen do it?
