"New" as in recently written? Or, "new" as in it hasn't been in the set for a while?
Either way, it shouldn't take all that long to learn songs...especially ones that have just been written. That's how songs grow is to play them night after night. That's how they changed the vocal arrangements on "You Make Loving Fun"...they put it in the live set for a couple of months in '76, then as the background vocal parts changed & grew on the concert stage, they went back in the studio & turned it into the song we now know & love.
As for songs they just haven't played in a while, there's no way it should take them more than a couple of rehearsals to get them back up to speed. It's not like they have to relearn them from scratch.
