Project #5 - The Songs of The Who

Due to the overwhelming positive feedback that Tremors, Myra, and I have received for our last four projects, we have decided to get started on our next one. The three of us, many fellow Ten Club members, and even our great band are big fans of The Who. Pearl Jam and Eddie Vedder often cover their songs in concert and cite The Who as a major influence. I am aware that other Who compilations have been made and I definitely appreciate the hard work and effort put into those compilations, but I have not been satisfied with them due to various issues. Tremors and Myra have also expressed the same thoughts about wanting to create a new compilation of Who covers, one that we can all listen to and be totally happy with.

This new project will be called "Pearl Jam: The Kids Are Alright: The Songs of The Who" and it will be a one disc compilation comprised of live Soundboard and/or excellent Audience recordings that span Pearl Jam's entire career. We are also open to include Eddie's solo Who covers.

Here are some parameters that we would like to go by for this project:

-All songs must be Who songs, not PT solo songs. (I am still open to include "Leaving Here" even though it was on our last compilation and it is a song that the Who covered)
-We would like to keep the Track List to about 10-15 Songs (one disc).
-Soundboard, FM, or excellent audience recordings.
-All songs performed by PJ or Ed. (I say Ed because I would like to include the version of "A Quick One" that he did with My Morning Jacket)
-No songs w/ Ed and The Who or members of The Who covering a Pearl Jam song.

Please feel free to use this thread to make suggestions and give us feedback as to what would be good to include on this new compilation (and what wouldn't be good). I will be updating the working track list for this project on the front page of this thread (right here). Our plan is to slowly start putting this together on Monday (December 6th) and have it completed and ready for download by or before next Saturday (December 11th).
