Title: Potentially Epic Cover songs that could rock NYE
Post by: walterfredo on Nov 18, 2008, 07:24 PM
They should bust a 'Logical Song' by Supertramp.  That would be Epic!  Please.  

We already know they'll have horns at MSG.

This Wheel's On Fire by Bob Dylan and The Band. I think they'd do an incredible job with that.

I think purple rain will be played. No real reason why I think that. Black sabbath (the song) would be fantastic though. Good call.

Lately, anytime I hear almost any song I just think of how MMJ could do it better. If it's gonna be a Supertramp song, it's gotta be School cause I wanna hear Bo do the piano part.

just ideas.  not sure how they'd sound, but i bet mmj could do them up right:

the faces - ooh la la

j. geils band - where did our love go

simon and garfunkel - only living boy in new york (bet jim's voice would be great with this one, and it would probably get a good crowd sing-along during Heeeeyyyy i've got nothing to do today parts)

led zep - over the hills and far away (this would rock)

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.

Some day when I have a steady job that earns me more than minimum wage, I'm going to save up a little every month and then blow it on all the Hanukkah shows in Hoboken. That's the dream anyway.
