I'd take any of those covers you mentioned, including Glory Days over WDWGD. I'm glad he dropped it from the setlist

Me too! I think it's a really fun song at the concerts.

And just reading this thread proves to me that no matter what Jimmy plays he cannot please all of us. So I vote he just please himself.

Just to mention a few of my least faves....which I know are faves to others....
Scarlet Begonias (much prefere Uncle John's Band)
Dixie Chicken
Glory Days
Southern Cross (wouldn't mind hearing it now and then, but not every show)

Love some covers...

Banana Republics
Brown Eyed Girl

Oh, and I LOVE Everybody's on the Phone

Well, it's all right now.
I learned my lesson well.
You can't please everybody,
You just got to please yourself.

I paraphrased a little, my memory ain't what it used to be..

Next week at the Garden would be a good time to do it.
