Jumpin\' Jack Flash, I always thought this was too \'bar-band\' for these guys. I wasn\'t too fond of Band on the Run either.

Band on the run is awesome!!!

not too big of them covering born to be wild or lady modana (i\'ve never heard it, but it doesn\'t sound like a song they should be covering).

Play Karn Evil more

I\'m more concerned about all the great covers that they no longer play.

Great point Al. There are definitely far more great covers that went by the wayside than covers currently in rotation that need to be dropped.

Covers that would be great if they were brought back:

Miles Beyond (Mahavishnu Orchestra)
King Kong (Zappa)
Legend Of A Mind (I don\'t know)
Sex Machine (James Brown)
Mommy What\'s A Funkadelic (Funkadelic)
Help On The Way > Slipknot (Grateful Dead)
One Big Mob (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Eat That Phonebook Coda (Gong) or whatever the heck the real name of this song is.

Jumpin Jack Flash yes. Only redeming quality is it makes me think of Fear and Loathing.

Band On the Run hell no! Listen to the Acoustic Cafe version and the last Porter\'s version and rethink this one.

I hear ya, and I\'d put Born To Be Wild in the same category. Too many token bar cover bands playing this stuff; bands whose members couldn\'t combine to name 3 Zappa songs. I think a good jamband cover should be one of 3 things:

1. Jaw-dropping. "I can\'t believe they have the balls to play this." Examples: Any Zappa, Miles Beyond

2. Classic jamband songs. Songs that everyone at your show knows but don\'t run the risk of being called out as mainstream or bar-bandish. Examples: Help > Slip, YEM, Whiskey in the Jar, Beatles and Zeppelin tunes that weren\'t huge hits

3. "Sweet." Great tunes that are rarely to never covered and get the show moving. May or may not be difficult and may or may not be popular. Examples: Karn Evil, most Chili Peppers tunes, Night of the Thumpasorus Peoples

A good halloween song, hint, hint.

The problem with Frankenstein is that there are always going to be people who whine saying "That\'s Phish\'s cover, why don\'t you come up with your own covers to play."

boombox · « **Reply #28 on:** October 26, 2005, 04:35:35 pm »

Definitely more Moody Blues needed - bring back Legend of A Mind.

Oh yeah, and keep Karn evil in rotation too.

Crosstown Traffic should played again sometime, the July Toads was epic!
