    What about Pink Floyd's "Mother". They kill that song..

    They "kill" it alright. But I think you and I are using "kill" in different terms. I don't like Eddie's vocals on it. And I didn't like his vocals on that Comfortably Numb cover he did with Waters either.
    I think it's pretty good. I enjoy it actually, but maybe I just really like when the full band kicks in and Mike's solo starts.
    As far as covers I don't like, I think they butcher Waiting on a Friend. It's one of my favorite Stones tunes, but it just doesn't work for them. I think they should do some Bruce. I'm surprised they don't, considering the synergy of the voices.

    They play Driven to Tears "consistently"? 12 times in 24 years.

    Sonic Reducer is my answer but its not played consistently enough to make the poll.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    Had to be RITFW as the MTV version with Neil Young was my first Pearl Jam jaw dropping moment. Although The Real Me was sooooo good in Leeds last year, which is typical it was left off the bootleg!

    Also would have had more problems had Crazy Mary made it to the poll.

    Open All Night from Denver '14. Loved it. No Stones, more Bruce.

    I wish they'd bring back Fortunate Son - miss that one from the '03 tour (minus the Sleater-Kinney).

    Their cover of "Setting Forth" is just spot on. That counts, right?

    For me, I voted RITFW but crown of thorns is a close second.

    I voted for Baba but sometimes I would rather hear Sonic Reducer at a concert.

    There are some great choices here, hard to make a decision. But Crown of Thorns live is so freaking special, every single time, and gives me chills every single time. Baba and The Real Me are runners up!
