Ok all the talk of the tour, setlists, and covers, I figured it was a good time to say PLAY STREET FIGHTING MAN!!!!!!!!
I know they played (or jammed) it a couple of times, fall of '93 and spring '94, but don't you think it (1) would be a rip roaring kick-ass tune for the boys and (2) Ed can tweak the lyrics and make it very topical and up to date . . .

Everywhere I hear the sound of marching, charging feet, boy
'Cause summer's here and the time is right for fighting in the street, boy

What can a poor boy do, Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town, There's no place for a street fighting man

Hey! Think the time is right for a palace revolution
'Cause where I live the game to play is compromise solution

Hey! Said my name is called disturbance
I'll shout and scream, I'll kill the king, I'll rail at all his servants

What can a poor boy do, Except to sing for a rock 'n' roll band
'Cause in sleepy London town, There's no place for a street fighting man

Anyone have any links to Pj's versions? or even stones versions (but please nothing beyond 1972 for the stones, for me its all down hill from there . . .
