Out of all the cover tunes PJ has performed over the years, which act have they covered the most? That is, whose songs have they covered more than others?

My guess is either The Who or Neil Young. Anyone get any more concrete thoughts than just my guesswork?

I would say Neil because they do RITFW so much, but other than Harvest Moon in 05 they havent really played other Neil songs. With The Who Baba, LROM, and The Real Me have all gotten play at some point.

I don't mean how many times a song has been played. I mean the total number of individual songs by a particular artist.

Example:

How many tunes by The Who?
How many tunes by Neil Young?
How many tunes by English Beat?
How many tunes by Otis Redding?
How many tunes by Celine Dion?

Not how many times has the band played Fuckin Up?

I think The Who is the definitive winner here.

Baba O'Riley
Love Reign O'er Me
The Real Me
The Seeker
My Generation
I Can't Explain

Songs not originally by The Who, but famously covered by them:

The Kids Are Alright
Young Man Blues
Leaving Here

There's probably more.

The Kids Are Alright isn't an original Who number? Never knew that.

Neil Young:

RITFW
Fuckin' Up
Needle and the Damage Done
Harvest Moon
Cinnamon Girl
Act of Love

Have they ever done Cortez the Killer or Down by the River without Neil? For that matter, are they covering someone when they are that person's backing band?

I'm pretty sure TKAA is a Who song, but I guess I could be wrong.

Researching Kids, Pete wrote it. How is it not an original Who tune?

That brings up that other question. Are they covering Neil when they act as his backing band?

that's a tough one, I can see it both ways. They are essentially backing Neil, but it is a PJ show(but then again it's the VFC and not really a PJ concert.)

Don't forget they toured with him back in, what '95 or '96.

Ok. I can go along with that.

What about when Neil took over from Eddie in San Fran?

This is deep, but probably correct.
