    Throw Your Arms Around Me by Hunters and Collectors. I also love Crazy Mary by Victoria Williams. PJ do both songs exceptionally. :D

    I don't know about random but a good one off was REM - It Happened Today in Calgary 11. It was really fiitting that a song recorded in Berlin around the 10th anniversary of Roskilde featuring EV on vocals was the one they chose to mark the choice that day by Stipe and Co. to call it a day as a band. It looked like Ed was going to give them a solo acoustic send off and then the whole band kicked in for a fantasic finale. I still miss REM more than any other band...

    "Rockin in the Free World," "Sonic Reducer," "Soldier of Love," "Leavin' Here," "Baba O'Riley," and come to find out, "Crazy Mary," etc,.. are staples in the Pearl Jam live arsenal.

    Are there any really rare or one off covers?

    Good one veddertown! Have always been a casual REM fan, but respect the HELL out of them and their music!

    Leavin' Here, Driven to Tears and Some Day at Christmas

    I'll mention Everyday People, because it's so unrehearsed it's funny.

    In 2003, they played "Know your rights" by The Clash maybe 7 or 8 times. The first time was Melbourne 2003. This one was intense. The band had this nervous energy you could cut with a knife. This was the 1st time playing a song like this. It was intense and amazing. All of the other times, the ice had been broken and they sounded increasingly hammed up. But that 1st one in Melbourne was out of this world. They followed it up with a couple of rarities, including Breath. I think they figured if something went terribly wrong with Know your Rights, people would soon forget during Breath. The combo of KYR and Breath made for an epic night.
    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

    Cool!

    i really love this cover too (and was trying to save it for someone else to mention, lol)
    but do you really think the Death Cab version is the best?
    Death Cab for me, the voice and all, is like what Sleater-Kinney must be to so many (i personally loved S-K)
    and I think the 2000 versions are far superior.
    You like this one better, though? (not a setup, just curious)

    If I opened it now would you not understand?
