This Hotel Room- Steve Goodman

Would Brown Eyed Girl be his most popular cover? He does it in nearly every concert.

You would be shocked how many non-Parrotheads think that is
one of Jimmys songs..

This subject was on a post a few months back, and I noted the same song had been overlooked, and he performed it just LAST YEAR!!

Purple Rain - Prince

Oh thats right. Didn't at one point he also do Neil Diamonds Sweet Caroline? Maybe at a Boston Show, not sure however.

a few Steve Goodman cover are
Banana Republics
This Hotel Room

Live only, JT's "Carolina In My Mind".

Jimmy snuck in parts of Sweet Caroline during WDWGDAS last year...part of the "Purple Rain" version.

I didn't hear it live, just listened to it on RM on some of last year's shows.

A Google search led me to this: http://www.twin-music.com/lyrics_file/b ... ories.html

Anyone know for sure if that is accurate?

If you mean, did John Sebastian really write the song? Yes, he did. Just like it says on the album credits for A1A.

on the flip side Aaron Neville does a great version of La Vie Dansante

Yes, it is.

It was written by Huddie Leadbetter (aka "Leadbelly", born Mooringsport, Louisiana 1889 - died 1976) wrote "Goodnight Irene" while incarcerated for murder in North Carolina State Penitentiary. If you're interested, there's more on the story behind the song here:

Yep. At Fenway. "Sweet Caroline" is a Fenway/Red Sox tradition.

That's probably the most complete list I've seen yet but it still omits these songs (and most likely some others I'm not thinking of):

Defying Gravity-Jesse Winchester
Boats to Build-Guy Clark
Hey Good Lookin'-Hank Williams, Sr.
Gumbo-Phish
