    Pearl Jam and Deathcab For Cutie Kissimmee 2004
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnVqw7EUVOM

    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)
    I like the tempo of the 2004 version better, but to be honest the two versions are almost like two different songs like Lukin and slow Lukin, and Eddie's voice is so different, I smoked a bowl and listened to both, I would give each one in the 8 to 9 region on a scale of one to 10, so 8.5 buds each from this judge

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

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

    Oh wow, didn't even think about "Someday at Christmas." Awesome cover, no doubt!

    Matter of fact, I have a post on my long since neglected blog about my attachment to "Someday at Christmas." It is a little out of season, but...http://www.idistortion.com :oops:

    Little Hands (Skip Spence) and Ball And Chain (Social D.) both available as a "complete" download at spreading the jam.

    Stevie Van Zandt - I Am A Patriot Bridge '92 -- CHILLING

    and a bunch that are just Ed...

    Kings Of Leon - Slow Night, So Long - Ed w KOL, Werchter

    Cheap Trick - Surrender Ed w CT

    my response

    There she lays staring at me
    There she plays waiting for me
    Her hair so colorful and free
    Her eyes shine like crytals in the sky
    Then she asks me "do you want to get high"
    My reply is short and swift
    As I hold and caress and lift
    Her slowly towards my lips
    She makes me dream of pipes and paper ships
    Her kiss is so soft and sweet
    Now this is one girl every guy would love to meet
    She has many other lovers
    But her crazy mind her crazy mind discovers
    Secrets hidden deep within my mind
    Girls like her a really hard to find
    I really do not care who she loves other than me
    Because her love is unconditional you see
    Anyway, all my time would be spent in vain
    Trying to find a lover as good as Mary Jane

    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...

    And this...
