However, I TOTALLY take credit for them playing that. Back in the late 90's during the sony website "synergy" days the band asked for people to give them a list of songs they'd like to hear. At the top of the list were songs like Corduroy with like 100 votes and so on. All the way at the bottom were a few stragglers with 1 votes.
My request was for Nile Song by Pink Floyd. They didn't play it, but soon after my request they played Interstellar Overdrive from the same damn album. Too much for coincidence, me thinks.
but the Nile Song and Interstellar Overdrive are on different records. They both ended up on Relics, but IO was originally on Piper at the Gate of Dawn and Nile Song is on More.
not trying to be a jerk, just sayin
as for Floyd covers, Have a Cigar would be sick and I think they'd rock Fearless.
~Stop light plays it's part, so I would say you have a part. What's your part? Who you are. You are who, who you are~
Big fan of their entire catelog. I would suggest 2 songs that most would know, "Wish you were here", and "Time". A more obscure personal favorite is Summer '68.
I would also suggest a cover of pink floyd covering oceans. :-)

'68 is a great tune, but not for PJ to cover in my mind.
Some songs PJ could nail:
Cymbaline
Free Four
In There Anybody Out There? (as a segue into another song, much like Interstellar is used)
On The Turning Away
Astronomy Domine
Breathe
Wots...Uh The Deal

Correct that they do appear on two separate albums, but they are both on the Relics vinyl.
I had a hunch in '98 that they also owned the Relics vinyl.
Now, it's confirmed they own the Relics vinyl... and Eddie and the band look at it at eye-level at every piss break during rehearsals.
ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you.

Yes! just like elevation622 said, And as soon as i saw this thread I thought, "FEARLESS"!
I just think Ed's style would fit that song soooo well.

"Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun"
I think it would be killer.
And im very much in favor of "Fearless" or anything from Animals.
If Eddie wants to take a break, "Careful with that Axe Eugene" or "One of these days" would be nice
Pearl Jam covering Run Like Hell or Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun!!!
*faints
Oh my God yes to both of these!!
Like a book among the many on a shelf...
Dublin 02 Arena - 22/6/10. Belfast Odyssey Arena - 23/6/10. London Hyde Park - 25/6/10. Berlin Wuhlheide - 30/6/10.
Manchester MEN - 20/06/12. Manchester MEN - 21/06/12
Would be great if they did "One of these days". And then Stone can shout out "One of these days
I'm going to cut you into little pieces" in his Gremmie/Cowabunga voice. I'd still be laughing a year later.
Up here so high I start to shake, Up here so high the sky I scrape, I've no fear but for falling down, So look out below I am falling now, Falling down,...not staying down, Could’ve held me up, rather tear me down, Drown in the river
Pink Floyd is my favorite band, has been for 15+ years now. Pearl Jam is second. I would love to see PJ do a full PF cover. That said, 90% of the songs listed in here... I just can't see it working. And I think it is why we don't actually see the band actually do a full cover- because they know it just wouldn't work. Who covers work for them. Neil Young covers work for them. Pink Floyd covers wouldn't, for the most part. I *could* see them doing Fearless. That is the one song in reading through this thread that actually piqued my interest. I'd be down for that.

Fearless is one I think they should stay away from. No singer to do the sweet smooth vox. I think it's kinda too country-ish and laidback too.
If Ed tried, I think he would do OK with it. The vocals are definitely the one thing that could make it or break it, though. I think the band could do the music just fine, if Matt played it lazy enough... he tends to push, where he'd need to play behind the beat a bit.
Can't believe no one has mentioned "Comfortably Numb" yet? In place of YB at a couple shows for a last encore? House lights on, everyone singing the chorus... "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii have become, Comfortably Numb". Seems like it would be cool anyways......

Id love to see Mike and Stone tear into this one! I would also accept Sheep or anything else off of Animals
the Fearless suggestion is also a great one.
How about Alan's Psychedelic Breakfast! (just kidding)
Id prefer not to see any post-1980 Floyd (though Not Now John might be nice)
