You want the story behind a cover they do?
I'd like to hear their relations with Neil and how they have made the song their own and what it means to them. The song is such a reality check, it knocks you back down to size and would like to hear how it effects them.
Besides, they DID do a cover song for storytellers if you did not check.

Yeah, one with different lyrics from the original song.

I think what disappoints me is that I have read that the bulk of this show was spend discussing politics and hate for US policy, but for the past 15 years so many other themes have inspired my life. PJ doesn’t mean what it does to me today because of their hate for GWB. I have turned to this band in so many different experiences, but thoughts on war haven’t been one of them. I understand some of this may be personal to the author, but I just think they have so much more to say. If this is a show about policy bashing I will be disappointed. Here is my list....
Release (relationship with my father has often be strained)
Sad (why was it left off, how did it come about, what makes it relevant
now)
Light Years
Come Back
Dissident (tell me about escape, about the situation, "do it anyway?")
Breath (thoughts on MSG98, more about the theme of the song)
I Got Id (tell me more about the story, merkin ball era, relationship with Neil)
In Hiding
Alive (curious about trilogy, about the origins of PJ,)
Yellow Ledbetter (this is how I picture every show ending, want to know before the show ends their answer to the last question on SVT--- PJ means a lot to a lot of people--- WHAT DOES PJ MEAN TO YOU? (This would be a good thread)

My guess this is based on songs we think might have good stories behind or would like to know more about?
Alive -- It's their definative song and one they never shied away from. It'd be interesting to hear what they think of it now (which apparently is what they do talk about.)
Breath or Leash -- The MSG campaign and some thoughts on why so many fans liked it and why it wasn't played for so long.
Given to Fly -- It would be a good way for the band to talk about art and their approach to music.
WWS -- Talk about the war, whatnot.
Life Wasted/Wasted Reprise -- I'm interested in where Ed is coming from on the whole "life wasted" angle, or more specifically, what seemed to motivate and rejuvinate the band.
Arc -- The significance of the song, why it was played nine times, their thoughts on the fans that died.
Parting Ways -- It'd be interesting to hear how much of this song is autobigraphical.
Marker in the Sand -- I'm interested in how this song came together from a techinical angle. Maybe more of Ed talking about the "lyrics riding the wave of the song theory" he talked a bit about in the Avacado promo. Plus a good oppurtunity to get the message of the song clear. I'd like to hear where he's coming from on God issue.
Better Man and Small Town -- Staple songs that I'd just like to hear more about.
