songs dax has covered

so yeah, dax has done a billion or so ridiculously swell cover songs throughout the years. what are some that you really love??

personally, i have some kind of sickness that compels me to listen to "dead flowers" daily, and i almost wet myself when he played it last year during a solo set i was at...i also adore the leonard cohen songs he's done, especially "famous blue raincoat", as well as "lungs" by TVZ. obviously, i could go on and on...

what about ya'll?

"tower of song" is my favorite cover he has done

Three of my favorites have always been "I'm Your Man", "Grand Dark Feeling of Emptiness", and "Aeroplane Over The Sea"

Famous Blue Raincoat, Grand Dark Feeling of Emptiness, Death to Everyone, Redemption Song, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice share, Cracka!

No problem! That's also from the same show when he played When Bones Turn To Dust.

I have a bunch of favorites.

-What a Wonderful World
-I'm Your Man
-Something Vague
-Skulls
-Aeroplane Over The Sea
-I'm So Lonesome

ahh yes....all excellent choices.

I love "wall of death" too.
and "dirty old town" (the pogues fuckin ROCK)

dax can rock some covers, no shit. my favorite is Just Dropped In. love that song and he fucking nails it.

I agree with Grand Dark Feeling of Emptiness and Just Dropped In..
Also adding Death Ain't Got No Mercy.

I think that would be my top 3.
In no particular order...

Top 4:
1. Grand Dark Feeling Of Emptiness
2. Been Smoking Too Long
3. I'm Your Man
4. Skulls

Dax plays "Death Ain't Got No Mercy" in his new set...it is stupendous.
