Can you guys give me a good list of those R.E.M. songs that they have
never played live and those that have maybe only been played a few
times?

This seems to be thread which appears in two years cycles :)

Situation in 2001 was, I think that any of these has not got live debut
since:

Bittersweet me (played only during soundcheck)
Chance (dub)
Emphysema
Forty second song
Fruity organ
Ïgnoreland
It's a free world, baby
Mandolin strum
Memphis train blues
New Orleans instrumental # 1 and #2
Organ song
Rotary eleven
The sidewinder sleeps tonite
Surfing the ganges
Texarkana
Tricycle
Winged mammal theme
You're in the air

From Reveal - I think - never played live:

Disappear
Saturn Return
Summer Turns To High
Beachball

plus Leave and Chorus And The Ring have never properly played live - only
Michael has sung some words.

Yes they did it. Somehow this slipped away from my eyes :)

Corrected version:

From Reveal - never played live:

Saturn Return
Summer Turns To High
Beachball

If you're interested in particular songs or doing some research, you can
find a compilation of R.E.M.'s setlists at this site:
