I would also go absolutely insane if they played Auld Lang Syne (New Years Song). One of my absolute favorite songs. I dont even really know why lol. But if they played it I'd go apeshit.

Bob Dylan - Bob Dylan's 115th Dream
....I'm not sure if Bob Dylan even knows all the words to that song....
...I still want them to play "Who Knows What Tomorrow May Bring" by Traffic....Carl could cover the sax parts and Jim can cover the high vocal range, I think that would really kick ass.....
....four other songs I would want then to play are:
Right On - Marvin Gaye
Sedan Delivery - Neil Young
Water - The Who
Feel Flows - The Beach Boys (that one came out of left field)

I would love to see them do "Kiss" by Prince. He sounds just like him when he sings Highly Suspicious.
My theme would be for everyone to grow ridiculous 70s style mustaches.
Baba O'Reilly - The Who
1999 - Prince
Brown Sugar - The Rolling Stones
Wish You Were Here - Pink Floyd
Rock Your Body - Justin Timberlake <~~~ this would rock! lol
And basically any Zeppelin song would work. This list could go on for days! :D

"Stranglehold" - Ted Nugent

my buddy Rudy has been saying for years that Stranglehold would be the perfect song for them to cover and I couldn't agree more.

Can you imagine how sick the guitar solos would be during that?
Seriously.
I think afterwards, you would have to kneel down and commit seppuku, ritualistic Japanese suicide .... Because NOTHING in life would ever top it.

Grateful Dead - Shakedown Street
Besides my list of wacky 80s tunes, this is definitely the best suggestion.
This is an awesome thread lol. I know I already offered 5 songs (pretty good ones, IMO lol) but I keep coming up with more that I think would be awesome. How about these 2:
Dear Mr. Fantasy (Traffic)
Green River (Creedence)
I think the reverb on Mr. Fantasy makes it a great fit.
Transformer Man - Neil Young
When Doves Cry - Prince
Player's Ball - Outkast
Express Yourself - Madonna
Rock the Casbah - the Clash
Money for Nothing!!!
Soulshine - The Allman Brothers
Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime

Have to admit, Im not a big fan of theirs. A lot of these songs are covered quite often though. Its kind of hard to find a Neil Young (or Who)song that Pearl Jam hasnt done. Im certainly not complaining though. I saw them do Harvest Moon, Leaving Here, and Rockin' in the Free World at the same show lol. Pretty damn awesome.

Whiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum
This song is so haunting. I'd love to see MMJ cover this.
Talking heads- take me to the river
QuoteWhiter Shade of Pale - Procol Harum

Hi all, new member here. :D I'll properly introduce myself later, but I've been digging this thread so I thought I'd contribute.
Anyway, my wish theme would be a roaring '20s theme with girls dressed as flappers and guys in evening attire. Fans could meet for martinis before hand. Just before the band emerges the Shannon Quartet's "Sidewalks of New York" is played over the PA--"...trip the light fantastic on the sidewalks of New York."
Okay, so covers I want to hear:
"Fascination Street"--The Cure
"September Gurls"--Big Star (actually any Big Star would be totally Joe Kickass!)
"Time and Love"--Laura Nyro
"Here Comes Your Man"--The Pixies
"Epic"--Faith No More (they could jam this out of "Highly Suspicious!)
Well, just a thought...

"Here Comes Your Man"--The Pixies
You said Pixies, so you are cool. I do think it would have to be something off of Trompe however - more keyboards there and they could rock it harder. I'd vote for UMASS, Planet of Sound, or Bird Dream...
