[Mr. T.]

If  "O Holy Night" counts as a cover I put that as a tie on number 5 with "Make it with you".
Especialy the "I'll take my shoes of version" he did on christmas 2001 for WFPK. That one is great

[aMillionDreams]

This is a tough one.  I'll give 'er a shot:

1) Tyrone
2) Rocket Man
3) The Man in Me
4) Tonight I'll Be Staying Here With You
5)  Dream a LIttle Dream of Me

I have to give "You're a Big Girl Now" honorable mention even though I've never actually heard Jim do it.  That is one of my favorite songs of all-time so I'm sure it would be in the top five if I ever get the pleassure.

I love "Why Don't You Love Me" as well I was really close to including it.  I had totally forgot about "This Magic Moment" until you and Tracy metioned it, that's another great one.  I like your thinking Corey.  I was also close to inclucing the "Easy" cover from the live show.  I just love everthing about that particular recording of that particular song, he only knows one verse so he just does it twice, and yet everthing about the performance was so perfect.

[corey]

I haven't heard that version of "Easy". I need to seek it out. Is it on the archive?

[Mr. T.]

I haven't heard that version of "Easy". I need to seek it out. Is it on the archive?

I got it from my brother, who got it from John's server. So i guess it must be there.

[Specialist]

Rocketman
Faries Wear Boots
New Morning

Northern Sky

[BH]

1.Mother (Most definately number one)

2.Tyrone (Great departure.  Can anyone finish this line, I can't understand what he says -

Every time you come around
You gotta bring Jim James'   _________

and what does Badu say for this line?  I have never heard the original)

3.Why don't you love me? (the way JIm sings over himself with the extra reverb in the background and that twangy geetar that blends into the distorted drum solo at the end make me want to grab the nearest bottle of wiskey/pills/wine/etc and start chuggin)

4.Rocketman (slowed down nicely)

5.White Rabbit (very trippy)

[BH]

And by the way, where can I get this O Holy Night christmas show from WFPK?
