i'd like to see/hear them cover some SRV. you know that Mike would go insane on these songs. i think Ed's voice would sound great singing SRV as well. how about "Pride & Joy"?

I would rather another PJ song than a cover... but if I had to pick... I would love to hear Eddies take on hurdy gurdy man by Donovan & Passenger by Iggy
London Astoria - Dublin - Wembley - Shepherds Bush - London 02
final solution by pere ubu would be awesome....the song iteself has a line mentioning "a sonic reduction" where i heard a rumor that the dead boys took that to name sonic reducer from...not sure if thats true or not
i remember this was brought up on synergy about, yeah, maybe 10 years ago and i listed fortunate son... finally covered that one...
it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

Don't get me wrong, PJ often does some covers better than the original bands would and a cover here and there can be cool.
That said, PJ has waaaaaaay to many of their own songs I'd rather hear than hearing another version of Baba O'Riley that I've seen live 1000 times.
Someone mentioned "The Real Me", and while that was one of the coolest performances of a cover ever, it wouldn't be the same without the horns...and I don't see PJ bring a horn section on tour with them.
Covers open me up to a whole different type of music. For example, I would never have heard Victoria Williams' Crazy Mary if it hadn't been for PJ's version.
I was listening to Stranglehold by Ted Nugent this morning and was imagining if PJ covered this, it would be great. Mike would absolutely fucking OWN the solo. Jeff would make the bass thump and Ed's singing would be great as it always is. Classic song that is timeless IMO.
Cortez or Down by the River - really liked Ed's work on Under Pressure at the Lynch show. Although without Ben to hit the falsetto notes, may be a problem for PJ to pull
I'm hoping for one cover per show maximum; they have 8 (possibly 9) albums of their own material.
Everytime I hear a cover in concert I think of what original song could I have heard instead.
Love the username. We have a sailor babo at the house.
Put me down for someone who loves covers. I think they are fillers on albums, but live it can bring you together, especially when they are out of left field. Lets you know what the artists are listening to.
Don't Be Shy was a great one on the 2000 tour, as was Timeless Melody. I'd like to see these two get dusted off.
New ones? As much as I love Neil, no more Neil. Here's a few I could hear PJ covering.
Don't Drag Me Down - Social Distortion (Let Mike pick a cover!)
Let there be Rock - Drive-By Truckers
Mountainside - Flaming Lips
Dignity - Bob Dylan
Declare Independence - Bjork
"You're no help," he told the lime. This was unfair. It was only a lime; there was nothing special about it at all. It was doing the best it could.
I think squeezing in a part of a song into a jam is cool, but IMO PJ plays far too many covers during a show.
they already play way more original songs than most bands.
That's true, because they play longer than most bands.
But if you go see U2 or Springsteen you might hear one cover, while sometimes there are three, four or five in a Pearl Jam show.
Yeah, but U2 plays pretty much the same set every night and Bruce plays his best songs. If PJ dropped those covers, they'd end up playing shit like Get Right. The covers usually come in the encore, when they're looking for huge anthemic tunes to close the show. They haven't written many of those since Yield. I'd rather hear Baba O'Riley than Save You.
I have good stats on covers though. I was calling for Fortunate Son right before the 03 tour when they played it regular, and after that I was asking for The Seeker, which got played in Boston in 04 when I saw them.
I'd love to hear the Seeker again. Otherwise, I'd be all over hearing the band do 'Do You Feel Like We Do.' Get Mike on the talkbox, let them jam it out and tear shit up. It'd be sweet. I'd also love to hear them cover Led Zep... I don't think they've ever done it. Maybe 'Hey Hey What Can I Do' or 'Communication Breakdown.' I'd also love to hear them do 'Red Hill Town' by U2. Or 'Idiot Wind' by Dylan.
ooooooh.... the Faces, Stay With Me. That'd kick ass!

I'd love to hear them do some Floyd, like "On the Turning Away" maybe - stil a socially relevant song, and one of my favorites. Could be awesome.
That said, PJ has waaaaaaay to many of their own songs I'd rather hear than hearing another version of Baba O'Riley that I've seen live 1000 times.
