I really enjoyed doing the Nokia in NYC back to back years (2009 & 2010) and getting Chromeo’s Bonafide Lovin’ and Phoenix’s Liztomania as debuts.
Also in 2008 it was pretty cool what they did on the West Coast tour in the winter with a new cover in the encore slot each night.

If they are going to play a cover straight forward i prefer the older instrumentals they would do like Mediterranean Sundance, Senor Mouse, Red, Meeting In The Aisle, Last Train Home, Lenny, etc.

because 11/2/11 BLBC is once in a lifetime shit.
2/25/22 was the best. …And Justice for All to end the show. Would you really prefer a 7 minute Much Obliged? (love MO, not hatin’)

Yeah exactly. That’s how a show should end lol
Here’s a cover encore that is an all timer IMO…
Encore: Nothing Too Fancy > In the Flesh? > Another Brick in the Wall > Nothing Too Fancy

I feel like the 04/05/08 JaJunk and 08/26/07 ITK are just as good as that BLBC. Those are the three elite UM encores, tho. 06/06/08 Hey 19 > N2F ending is also a heater.

If the cover produces a good jam, fine. Hence why I like Flippy Floppy. Great song and usually a fun jam!
You know what I hate a lot more than covers… the fucking DMV. Where im sitting right now getting angry about covers.

I didn’t mean literally once. But what are they at, 3,000+ shows? and we can count on our hands the shows with absolutely spectacular encores?

Counter point - when a cover starts in the encore, I’m relieved because I know I can leave, beat the rush for a cab, and go drink something other than an overpriced shitty beer/drink.
These days, 99% of encores are standard town. I don’t care what’s played during the encore because I’m leaving after S2.

Kzoo 2012 August is most underrated UM encore
fucken love the DMV. get stoned and watch people get angry or not have the proper documents. lot’s of times I get to see people try and pull a fast one on the workers and it’s the best.
Met Roquan Smith at the DMV, too. Good times at the DMV for me.

Ha, true. Most encores suck, tho. Phish THANK YOU was a blast to see, but its not objectively good. 10/16/21 Carini is the most satisfying encore I have seen for a band I love. Have seen maybe 10 encores worth remembering in probably well over 1000 shows in my lifetime. That is why i always leave shows early unless im with someone who wont let me.
