How did you figure these were "in rotation"? How long of a period did you use? In rotation this year? This fall, summer?

[Drew_Kingsley]

My picks to be shelved are:

Born to Be Wild
2001
China Cat Sunflower
Jumpin\' Jack Flash
Man in Me, The
Message in a Bottle
Scarlet Begonias
Shakedown Street
Tom Sawyer

I used nothing specific, actually.  Just cruised my master covers list with the criteria "what wouldn\'t be considered a bust-out if played this week".  There\'s a few that are debatable as far as being in rotation.  "Octopus\'s Garden" and "Soul Finger" are probably shelved... but that\'s probably a good thing anyway.

[Gordo]

Born To Be Wild, Rockin\' In The Free World, Jumpin\' Jack Flash, Tom Sawyer should be shelved. never understood peoples\' love for Tom Sawyer, that song annoys the hell outta me.

btw, i always enjoy MIAB.

[wstielau]

Acid Queen by The Who. I think it\'s the vocals that just make me cringe.

[plainandsimple]

Drew. IMO shakedown street and Tom Sawyer should not be on your list because
1.Tom Sawyer is a good tune and Ron sings and they play it well
2.They hardly ever play Tom Sawyer anyway(that i\'ve heard)
3.Shakedown Street is a good crowd pleaser(IMO)
4. I like Shakedown Street and Its a song alot of people know.
5. A cover ,I think should be a song people can sing along to with the band......:boat:

In defense... respectfully

I\'m not a big fan of "Tom Sawyer".  I also don\'t like covers that are, for the most part, "note-for-note" (Exception: Karn Evil 9).  To me, the song doesn\'t feel like their own when they play it.  Also, I heard it a lot in its first year or so as a cover.  Didn\'t notice that it hasn\'t been played a lot recently, but you\'re right.

Similarly, if you check out my list, every Dead tune on my "in rotation" list is included except for "The Other One" and "Help on the Way > Slipknot!".  Consequently, every other Dead cover NOT in rotation should stay there, except for Terrapin Station just once when nobody is expecting it.  The Breakfast doing the Grateful Dead is a bit too empty sounding.  Most Dead songs, as much as we all love them, don\'t fit the feel of a Breakfast show.

Good point but I think that Shakedown Street is the up beat cover they sometimes need to feel out a newer crowd......Get them up and movin

[Jim Cobb]

i think they rock the shit out of 2001, i\'d never want to see that tune shelved.
