Favourite cover Options

Here is a list of songs that Live and Ed Kowalczyk have covered. I've excluded The Gracious Few. I think I've included them all - if I've missed any let me know and I will add it to the list.

Which is your favourite?

Let's see if I've got my dates right, with the help of setlist.fm:

Supernatural was covered back in the TC tour days, as they performed it on MTV Unplugged, so 1994-1995.

Love My Way was covered in the SS tour era, starting in early 1997. (Side note: I would have loved to have been at that Connecticut show on 2/12/97 where they first played all the new SS songs live. I wonder if there's a bootleg of that one. They started with Unsheathed! WHAT)

I Walk The Line was covered back in the TDTH tour era, around late 2000. The recording video I found on YouTube shows CT playing a powder blue Strat. I don't think I've seen that guitar before.

I don't think I've heard Live's rendition of Radioactive. I can't seem to find a standalone video of it. Was it one of those medley things that they stitched into I Alone or something?

It seems that most of Live's best covers were pre-2000. I wonder why that is. Were the cover choices not good? Was it the arrangement? I'm very curious, especially as a musician that has dabbled in covers from time to time.

Hi Bob. It was solo Ed doing Radioactive. Here you go.

Thanks for sharing. That explains a lot, actually. I didn't follow Ed's solo stuff, so this flew right by me, and I'm not an Imagine Dragons fan, so it doesn't really move the needle for me anyway.
