Anyway, I've bought their new 4disc rarities compilation. It has lots of little gems on it. Their cover of Steely Dan's Any Major Dude Will Tell You made me smile.
Yeah, it's a great compilation. I like their shows because their set lists are so varied. They played more than a hundred different songs during their opening spot on Bob Dylan's Americanarama tour -- that's very impressive for an opening band on a 25-show tour.
I saw them at their own Solid Sound festival in 2013 and they played a whole night of covers:
01 - The Boys Are Back in Town [Thin Lizzy cover]
02 - Cut Your Hair [Pavement cover]
03 - In the Street [Big Star cover]
04 - New Madrid [Uncle Tupelo]
05 - Dead Flowers [The Rolling Stones cover]
06 - Simple Twist of Fate [Bob Dylan cover]
07 - Ripple [Grateful Dead cover]
08 - Who Loves the Sun [The Velvet Underground cover]
09 - And Your Bird Can Sing [The Beatles cover]
10 - And Your Bird Can Sing [The Beatles cover]
11 - Psychotic Reaction [Count Five cover]
12 - Tom Courtenay [Yo La Tengo cover]
13 - James Alley Blues [Richard Brown cover]
14 - Waterloo Sunset [The Kinks cover]
15 - Waterloo [ABBA cover]
16 - (What's So Funny 'bout) Peace, Love and Understanding [Nick Lowe cover]
17 - Marquee Moon [Television cover]
18 - Happy Birthday [Mildred J. Hill cover]
19 - (Don't Fear) The Reaper [Blue ?-yster Cult cover]
20 - Cinnamon Girl [Neil Young cover]
21 - Get Lucky [Daft Punk cover]
22 - Surrender [Cheap Trick cover]
23 - Color Me Impressed [The Replacements cover]
