    "The Worlds A Mess (It's In My Kiss)" by X,
    would be good though.

    or a rewrite version of

    "With God On Our Side"
    by Dylan

    I want the band to do "Rough Boys" by Pete Townshend.
    Turn that song up loud and try and tell me it doesn't grab you by the throat and
    slam you're head against the wall ;)

    To keep it on a John Lennon slant, I'd like to hear Give Peace A Chance tagged onto something - maybe Wishlist.

    As much as I agree, I just want to point out that it's a Tom Waits song. Springsteen covered it. :)

    Rush - Limelight.

    Forget about the fact that it is Rush, if you are not a fan. Read the lyrics, imagine Ed singing them, and imagine Mike playing the soaring guitar solo. It could be incredible.

    Strays has 1 dud song, and has a bunch of really strong songs.

    We Gotta Get Out Of This Place by the Animals would make for a nice 2nd encore cover.

    ..actually anything by Eric Burdon & the Animals would be cool by me.

    Yes! Eddie & Eric do share that deep passionate tone. How about House of the Rising Sun? No fancy guitar work, but I can just hear Eddie howling it now. Great suggestion! And I did laugh at the song for the 2nd encore. :D

    I really like their version of "know your rights"-

    and look what I ran across when I was looking for tattoo ideas.
