    Pearl Jam can sing anything and it sounds better.
    It doesn't make the original a better song though.
    CN is overplayed, long and very boring to listen to.
    I really hope it is not a regular addition.

    I wish they would do Baba with more guitar, like they did in Milwaukee. That was so epic! If they did it like that everytime that would be my favorite cover.

    Also Rockin and Fuckin Up are always great.

    Not sure if the shine on you crazy diamond cover was Ed solo or the entire band. But they covered that song better than Floyd in my opinion. Just blows me away whnever i listen to it. Got it off Gremmie under covers.

    I'm with u so far..they have so many so I will have to see how I feel in a few years but I hope they keep it in the rotation at least as much as Rocking in the free world.

    The soldier field version is their best cover ever done IMO. Or at least my most played cover of theirs

    Is it even better on crack? Time to go down to the corner.

    Did you guys watch this one yet? Not too shabby... but I have a healthy appreciation of Sting.

    I saw it 4-5 times the band cover it..irs pretty awesome..probably in top 5
    Along with Chloe/Crown -Fuckin up-Rockin-Wishing Well

    I wish they will play more FREE songs and i wanna be your dog and JJF at some point...the full songs and bot only intro
    "...Dimitri...He talks to me...'.."The Ghost of Greece..".
    "..That's One Happy Fuckin Ghost.."
    “..That came up on the Pillow Case...This is for the Greek, With Our Apologies.....”

    I've been listening to it on the Miami boot and it was incredible. I'll never be able to rank all their covers because they do a great job almost all the time, but holy crap CN sounds great. I think Ed makes it sound better than roger waters vocally
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Totally forgot about Crazy Mary. That's up there for me as well as anything by the Who (Real Me, LROM, Baba)

    My vote goes to The Real Me followed by Sonic Reducer. I like the balls out rockers and I'm sick of Neil Young songs.

    that was great. still a great cover even without sting!
    #1 is always gonna be the real me
    love reign sure but the real me? WOW
  • Force Of NatureForce Of Nature Posts: 1,066
    I would say Comfortably Numb is the best song they covered (as in my favourite song) but not their best cover they've performed.
    The solo is incredible but almost note for note of gilmours, so he gets the credit.

    Baba. leaving here, fucking up, the real me are better covers in my opinion
