Said it before, but I hate Baba, now. PJ has ruined this song forever for me. I have no problem with a cover or two, but at least do something new and interesting. It would be amazing if they did a completely new cover every night of the tour. It would probably make the boots sell a lot more. I know this would be difficult, as remembering songs at their(our) age isn't easy. Hell, I always forget my own lyrics and I write them!

I can't say I've studied the setlist stats since they've gone to the shorter sets, but it seems the way they've shortened the sets has been to scale back on the covers immensely.
The show I saw in Austin last tour had one (1). It was Baba, as the show closer. Everything else was an original, including Out of My Mind (!!!).
I think that actually is a cover. (Oscar emoji from The Office not included)

Being from Canada I've always wanted them to do a Tragically Hip cover. Maybe tag the bridge of "At the Hundredth Meridian" into the middle of "Daughter". In my dreams that works perfectly

I remembered there being a lot of covers in Wrigley 18. I just checked the setlist.
The covers were:
Night 1
Leaving Here
Missing
I won't Back Down
Know Your Rights
Rebel Rebel
RITFW
Night 2
Rain
Throw your Hatred Down (still consider this a cover)
I am a Patriot
We are Gonna Be Friends
Baba
That's not counting the Betterman or Daughter tags, I think those are fun and not usually a full song.
1 or 2 covers are fun. 5-6 is a little much.
it´s OK, dont bother playing daughter if you dont play this.
sonic reducer
i wont back down
will get baba and RIAFW for sure
PLEASE dont play purple rain
You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
