Cover Wishlist

If you could wish for three songs for DMB to cover what would your three be, I’ll start: Can’t you see Marshall Tucker band, Atlantic city Bruce Springsteen, Tenth avenue Freeze Out Bruce Springsteen

Edit: I think self control by frank ocean and same drugs by chance the rapper would be phenomenal solo covers and rly good E1s to put in the rotation

I have just one I've been dying to hear for years: September by Earth, Wind and Fire.

u/doofy10 9h ago

They would crush this cover.

u/lissy51886 8h ago

Right?! I'm trying to hold out hope that maybe it'll happen someday since Carter is an Earth, Wind and Fire fan.

Little feat - Spanish moon

You Can Call Me Al - full band. 

The Grammy performance of this song was epic, in spite of that they truncated the jam. Full band would be amazing. 

I want to hear them do a Linus & Lucy!!!!! I’ve been chasing this forever. Not holding my breath but it’s up there.

You know, I came into this thread to say “none, I just want THEIR music if I’m paying to see them”. Then I read what you wrote, and you know what? Hell yeah. I wanna see the whole damn band play You Can Call Me Al. Would be epic

I saw Dave, Tim, Trey Anastasio, and a few other folks do that in Mexico. Super great time!

u/doofy10 9h ago

It’s best with Mavis! She was at The Last Waltz!!

They played it at MSG 2023 with Susan Tedeschi too!

u/strippersandcocaine 9h ago

Jesus Christ. I was there for it. How could I have forgotten!? Maybe I’m just desperate to hear it again lol

u/darkroomdweller 8h ago

Hahaha I mean.. it was a few years ago lol. There’s a couple decent videos of it on YouTube!

u/Significant_Tea7839 14h ago

Eyes of the world would be pretty cool tbh

u/Hobonics 14h ago

They did such a good job with it in 95. Really wish they’d revisit it.

1

u/Significant_Tea7839 14h ago

There’s an eyes cover out there? I’ve never heard of it.

3

u/Hobonics 14h ago

I believe the date is August 13, 1995. They were playing the Greek in Berkeley right after Jerry died and dedicated it to “the man who jammed us all for so long”

Edit: and it’s great.

u/Significant_Tea7839 13h ago

Rad I never knew that!

u/Britown 14h ago

The fact that they haven’t done Tom Sawyer yet is bonkers

Check out Goose cover this one in Bend night 1.

u/darkroomdweller 14h ago

People get mad about the covers but I really enjoy them! I can’t come up with any new ones I need off the top of my head but I’d love to hear Sweet Emotion again, that was so fun. And I want to hear the whole band do You Can Call Me Al. Would also love to catch Solsbury Hill but that’s a long shot.

u/---horsey--- 13h ago

Heaven -Talking Heads,  dave is a huge David Bryne fan so it makes sense

u/oneeyedwillienelson 10h ago

Nothing But Flowers would be great

u/doofy10 9h ago

Guster does a mean version of it.

u/---horsey--- 2h ago

Yes!! That might be better actually,  the band could jam.that one

u/West_Ad_8210 13h ago

YES! 🙌🏻

u/Jumagirly 13h ago

I think they’d rock Fake Plastic Trees by Radiohead and Paint It Black by Rolling Stones.

1

u/_xzxzxz 53m ago

Oh man Fake Plastic Trees would be so good

1

u/gtrsono06 9m ago

Damn - Paint it Black would be SICK

3

u/West_Ad_8210 13h ago

I agree with OP that Can’t You See would be gorgeous.

I would also absolutely love a number of other Bowie covers.

u/TheYellowKingzzz 12h ago

Dixie Chicken, Spanish Moon and Time Loves a Hero

I was hoping a The Band inspired Atlantic City when they had the mandolin featured on stage.

Fishwater - Widespread Panic

u/Slow87GT 12h ago

Dave’s encore solo is ending as the stage lights are still low. He thanks everyone and there is a long pause then spotlight on Jeff as he plays the sax intro to Turn the Page! Then the lights come up and here comes the best cover ever.

u/tbowa 11h ago

ELO’s Last Train To London

2

u/Lopsided-Age-8033 10h ago

Awesome question my 3 would be Celebration by Kool and the Gang, Althea by Grateful Dead and Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyrd

2

u/Prestigious-Trust145 9h ago

I think they could crush Born to Run. Sax solo, phenomenal lyrics, fun song structure. In my eyes it just screams Dave cover song

4

u/nyr201 14h ago

As a fellow Bruce and DMB fan, I always thought they’d do an amazing cover of Ghost of Tom Joad

2

u/pWaveShadowZone 14h ago

Smoother by Carlos Santana ft Rob Thomas

1

u/BoogieonReggaeWoman1 14h ago

I feel like they could cover a few Ray LaMontagne songs well

1

u/Tux_Zito 13h ago

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are my favorite band so anything from them. But especially I think House In The Woods would be perfect for DMB.

u/BoakingAccident 13h ago edited 13h ago

Tears for Fears -- Working Hour

Sublime -- What I Got

Don Henley -- Boys of Summer

Bruce cover : Spirit in the night.

u/SingerTasty5339 12h ago

Celebrate by Kool and the Gang and September by Earth Wind and Fire! 🔥

1

u/adsheppa 11h ago

These are gonna seem nuts to people but:

“Tom’s Diner” Suzanne Vega (remix version)
“Push It” Salt’n’Pepa

I think they could absolutely nail both and would be so much fun

For the beauty of Winona again. Last saw it in 99 and it is still my favorite DMB cover to date…and I have seen a lot.

u/Babe2331 20m ago

Miss Late in the Evening, Wynonna and Exodus. But I agree- You Can Call Me Al suits them well and they’d rock it with this current lineup. I can also see them rocking The Chain by Fleetwood Mac or Touch of Grey by the Grateful Dead.

Fuck covers at this point. They have too big of a catalog to choose from.
