Songs DMB Should Cover

[BTCS_JTR]

Billy Ocean - Caribbean Queen

[NewBernPirate13]

Mississippi Half Step --I don't think DMB should cover the Dead just for the sake of doing it, but if Boyd could keep it together for the outro, this would unreal. Listen to the studio version for an example of the fiddle going off!

Yes to anything Peter Gabriel. I love Sledgehammer, but I’d like to see more. Wish I would have seen Tim play Watcher of the Skies/In Your Eyes. He’s also played a couple others solo (pretty sure Red Rain and another). I think a full band In Your Eyes would be great, also think Big Time would work good.

[Superman33]

Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride

Chicago - Saturday In The Park

James Gang - Funk #49

[kmb40oz]

"My Name Is Mud" -> Halloween

[kingofkings]

None. I would like as much DMB as possible at a DMB show. A cover song could the place of a rarity they haven't played for a while, so I can go without it.

[YouNeverKnow25]

it could also be in the place of You & Me

[DeuceStep]

Dave & Tim cover song choice

Jim Croce - Time in a Bottle

[Aforauer]

Full band, "Learning to Fly" by Pink Floyd

[morecornbread!!]

Hold On, I’m Comin’- Sam&Dave

[junt015]

Higher Love by Steve Winwood...maybe too vocal-centric, but that's an ultimate feel good song IMO. Everyone knows it, and there's room to jam it out. Also starts with a nice Carter build up surprise intro.

Dare I say, it would be even better with the Lovely Ladies?

[RSSR]

“25 or 6 to 4” by Chicago

Or “Jungleland” by Bruce Springsteen. But they kinda need Butch for Jungleland.

[Melted]

All of these suggestions are terrible. This thread begins and ends with The Ballad of Hollis Brown.

[finksta]

For some reason, I have always thought Dire Straits' "Money For Nothing" would be a pretty good cover for DMB to play...

I love Solsbury Hill, but I remember how disappointed I was with the Dave & Friends version. Dave did not sound good singing the song and the way they played it was too wedding bandish.

[two-by-twostep]

I've said before that I think "Nights in White Satin" by Moody Blues would be awesome.

DMB actually played Solsbury Hill twice – 8.4.09 in Syracuse and 8.7.09 in Virginia Beach. I haven't heard them but I'm assuming since it was only played twice, and that no one ever talks about it, they weren't that great.

I was at the VB show...granted Solsbury Hill was a song I heard a lot through childhood and has significant meaning to me...but I thought DMB did it more than justice--better than D&F versions! Should be played again

I also want Simon's-American Tune brought back. That's a song I thought D&F struggled with, but I think it'd be great for D&T

I was at that VB 09 show as well and thought it was a solid version. I dig when Dave sings PG tunes. I remember Solsbury Hill and Shotgun being the highlights of that show.

[bigeyedpigs]

I would love to hear D&T to do If you could read my mind by Gordon Lightfoot or anything by Croce. As for full band they need to do vehicle by ides of march, they could crush it, plus half the people in attendance would probably think it's a new dmb song.

[Hilly]

That VB show craves a Live Trax.

YES. Make that happen. I know they used to play it, but I want them to bring back Me and Julio Down by The Schoolyard

[27amberrose]

Closer by Nine Inch Nails

[shansamiam]

Fire and Rain -James Taylor

[LaLaLaLaHey]

Lights of Home - U2

Not sure if mentioned but Rag Doll by Aerosmith.

[morecornbread!!]

Late In The Evening- Simon & Garfunkel

I think that could be a killer cover
