    i can't really say i have any least favs i am not sure about the harvest moon cover. i love the song but i think it takes neil's voice to pull it off. don't get me wrong i think ed has a great voice but just that song neil's got the edge.

    So basically everyone has Driven to Tears as one of their least favorites.

    I don't know if I personally dislike the song that much, but they play it at the wrong time. Most of the covers are played towards the climax of the concert towards the end, Driven to Tears if just a downer. RITFW, Fuckin Up, and most of the others get peole out of their seats to enjoy the last couple minutes of the show. Driven to Tears is just one of those songs that you listen to, but you can't do more than that with it. You can just sit there and listen to it.

    Don't like:
    Last Kiss
  • I really don't like any of the extensions on Daughter, yes I can listen to them, but I find them to get old. I love Daughter, but now when you hear them live it's almost like you have to hear another brick in the wall. It was cool at first now it's kind of old.

    I Got You (they really need to play this more)

    Have you heard the Sydney 11/18/06 version? They nailed it. After hearing it at the first show I ever went to (Melbourne 3/16/95), I couldn't believe it when they kicked it off at this show, and the crowd was belting back the chorus (though you can't hear it on the boot). Awesome.

  • Yea:

    Anything by Neil Young
    Crazy Mary - I have done a complete 180 on this one, i used to skip it on boots, but then i heard it in person and it rocked my socks
    Sonic Reducer - the Atlanta 94 version is a barnstormer


    Nea:

    Last Kiss - horrible
    Know Your Rights - too long, by "number 3" i'm thinking why couldn't there just be 2
    Gimme some truth - also drags a bit

    Basically i don't like slow covers that drag, PJ cover rockin' songs much better
