We had an open jam night at the bar I work at last week. I pulled out Get Back Again and it was pretty successful. I had a bunch of people come up and ask me who originally played it and when I told them they were floored.

Wheat Kings is a campfire staple of mine... I've also performed Fireworks, Three Pistols, and Fiddler's Green...
All purely acoustic...
I'm thinking of busting out Northern Wind at some point, as I'm in love with that song...

I usually bust into Gord-ish rant of "Bobcaygeon" or "The Dark Canuck" while my band is jamming/performing. Actualy covers? We're working on it.

While doing an acoustic solo set, my choice of Hip cover that I play on a more regular basis is Oh Honey
I have also played Thompson Girl, and when I was younger, Fiddler's Green, since it was the first song I have ever learned in it's entirity. So I had no choice but to play it.
I once had a band that included a Horn section, a rhodes keyboard player and a standup bassist, and we played "Don't Wake Daddy".
I wish I had it recorded. It was brilliant.

Long Time Running
Fifty Mission Cap

So Hard Done By
Scared

I find that the later in the hip's career, the more difficult a song is to pull off.

i butchered "its a good life" (or rather, a fingerpicked acoustic version), looking back, it was pretty good, but i couldnt stand it at the time. im pretty sure Gord sinclair's son was in the audience too
