    Dock of the bay is also fun

    I would love to hear the version of this. They've only played it once back in the early 90's right?

    Yeah, once in 94....

    Absolutely awesome! Thanks for posting. One of the greatest songs in the history of music in my opinion. Love Cropper's guitar solo. I think Otis Redding would've been pleased to hear PJ play this.

    RIP Otis!

    I'm surprised it took 4 pages for someone to mention "Kick Out The Jams", my favorite cover is PJ with Neil Young performing "All Along The Watchtower" from the Vote For Change Tour.

  • I'm not sure anything can top "Love Reign O'er Me", but right now, I'm so into this a cappella version of "I've Just Seen a Face" from Red Rocks in 1995. And yes, I'm linking to my blog - check it out - watchitgotofire, a curated collection of pearl jam videos.

    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    Now, how can we get them to cover Love Gun by Kiss? :-P

    I posted my top ten covers thread recently but my favourite which has shot from nowhere wasn't even on that list, Pink Floyd's, Mother. What an insanely great cover, the only Floyd cover I prefer over the original. Stunning! The Jimmy Fallon version was good but the Buenos Aires one is out of this world.... :mrgreen:
    Agree. The Buenes Aires one could easily rank as my favourite song on the night. Made the hairs on my back stand up! ;)
