Potentially Epic Cover songs that could rock NYE

[the_wizzard]

due to the Led Zeppelin mystique attached to MSG....
either Misty Mountain Hop/ Down By the Seaside/ Ten Years Gone

And do not forget that on New Years 2006/2007, our merry band left the stage to Stairway to Heaven (and actually ascended a stairwell towards a neon light that proclaimed Heaven).  This will be part 2 of the Oregon Trail Meets the Donner Party, so one can only assume that they will start from there....

[weeniebeenie]

Ahhhh...some Neil Young seems pretty realistic. How about 'Tonights The Night'  ;)

The harmonies would be awesome!


Funk #49-James Gang
The Waiting or Don't Come Around Here No More- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
Crocodile Rock? Naaaaaaaa, na, na, na, na, na!

[xmascriminal]

Don't Come Around Here No More- Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

Yes.

[H.B.]

Paul Simon, Only Living Boy....= Good
Toto, Africa = Awesome
Christopher Cross, Ride Like the Wind = Amazing!!!!!!!

It's fun to wish, but anything they play will be great!

[slimkim]

roxy music -- either avalon or more than this.

or

marshall tucker band - can't you see?

don't see it happening but just a wish. and i think they would do a great job covering them.

slim i am

KC and the Sunshine Band: Get Down Tonight
The Beatles: Revolution
King Harvest: Dancin' in the Moonlight
Eric Burdon and War: Spill the Wine
Creedence: Lookin' Out My Backdoor

It would also be great to hear them play Auld Lang Syne. That would crush me...

[weeniebeenie]

Creedence: Lookin' Out My Backdoor

:o
Midnight Special would be cool too.

Velvet Underground- European Son
The Beatles- Revolution #9
Pink Floyd- Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast
Radiohead- Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

Velvet Underground- European Son

I'd want to see them play Velvet Underground and Nico straight through. Sunday Morning and Heroin would be incredible. I know they already did Head Held High and Oh Sweet Nuthin' (which I'd love to hear if anybody has an MP3), but they'd go a great job on a bunch of Loaded's other songs too like Rock and Roll, I Found a Reason and Train  Round the Bend.

Velvet Underground- European Son

.....??

[GetDoWnOnIT]

Prince- Party Man / Trust

Rick James- Mary Jane / Superfreak

Grateful Dead- China Cat Sunflower / Scarlet Bagonias

I would love to hear anything by the Allman Brothers- Blue Sky / Melissa (Could you imagine how beautiful that song would be sung by Jim)  

[xmascriminal]

Yeah, Jim would do a beautiful job with Melissa. I would also pay at least double the normal ticket price if they played Whipping Post.

[tkezm971]

Squeeze - Black Coffee in Bed

[Penny Lane]

Squeeze - Black Coffee in Bed

oh wow-i love this song, good pick!

[ALady]

Fooled around and fell in love- Elvin Bishop

Great choice too Leather Kid, i LOVE that song... Here's my three pennies worth, "Parents" by Budgie/Its My Life" by TalkTalk, and, an obvious contender, but can see Jim doing tremendous improv with it..."Hurricane" by Neil Young

Great call on "Parents"!  You just know Jim is a Budgie fan...  [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

[Jernigan]

Brother, by Alice in Chains ( might not work NYE, but nice either way )
Wish You Were Here, Pink Floyd ( maybe Jim solo? )
No Quarter, Zep

How long does a band have to be around, before you can appropiately cover them?

[classicrocker623]

They've done it before but Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' December 1963 (Oh What a Night) would kill it

[The DARK]

Velvet Underground- European Son
The Beatles- Revolution #9
Pink Floyd- Alan's Psychadelic Breakfast
Radiohead- Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors

.....??

You missed the point.

...actually you got it perfectly.  ;)

[lasvegas]

they shall close the show with one song, and only one song.

NEW YORK NEW YORK - frank sinatra

this thread is now closed.

Well after hearing Sec Walking from Evil Urges, my buddy that's not even much of a fan, says it HAS to be Arthur's Theme from Christopher Cross.

I agree.
