Someone should start a Merzbow tribute band; play every song note-for-note.

We went to the Wailers at the Belly Up Sunday. Only one original member, more or less a cover band.
Still had a good time!

Ha. A local festival site is having a two day "tribute fest" with many bands, and it's called Mockstock

Talkin about being in a lot of bands a local bro who has been known to sit in lots of bands was telling me about playing base in 11 of 30 sets at the local weekend folk fest, I asked him how cuz most of these bands are from somewhere else and you are just kinda sitting in, he said its not that hard really

The best cover show I've seen was kexp's Raw Power show
Raw Power KEXP, a tribute to Iggy & the Stooges performed by Seattle musicians Mike McCready, Duff McKagan, Mark Arm, and Barrett Martin, recorded live on the roof of Pike Place Market. Recorded August 23, 2015.
Songs: Little Doll
T.V. Eye
I Got a Right
I Need Somebody
Down on the Street
Search and Destroy

This may very well be the ultimate cover-cum-tribute band:

Oh dear God.. His band played here at The Durham Bulls Ballpark a couple years ago on the 4th of July. Ya, he is horrible! His band was pretty tight and probably well paid but his vocals?? God chimed in on that. About 3 songs in to the first set a giant bolt of lightning took out the power grid hahahahaha! Wicked storms raged for an hour. We went home.. being that we live about 2 miles from the ballpark.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

Quaid is playing close to home, along with Kevin Bacon, with his brother, and Jeff Daniels. Maybe we have to start a new thread that is wtf is up with B hollywood actors playing mediocre rock stars on stage.

I feel the bands pay tribute to the star actors’ overall well-rounded greatness

I’m in Canada, yesterday on the radio I heard an add for a Tragically Hip cover band. I thought it was funny.

I don't know why I am surprised by this, but I am...
If cover and tribute bands weren't enough, you can also see tribute comedians. This guy performs as Robin Williams:

OK. I'll come out of the closet. Seen a few rumors shows and they are absolutely fantastic. young, entergic, in smallish venues, at $20 about 1/10th of what it costs to see the real thing. but the kicker was local band MoonTower. Think several towns have a moontower but I was blown away by this one. Like stepping into the jukebox from the skatepark about 1978. Some of it was that they were playing in a larger hall known for good accoustics, through rumor's sound equipment. thier setlist
sweet Emotion (missed came in late)
People Talk
LaGrange
R & R Hoocheechoo
Voodoo child (dude's guitar & pedal work was unreal. note for note)
Tiny Dancer
One Way Out
Fox on the run
Never been any reason
Stranglehold (again unreal guitar work)"Can't you see..."

Fair enough - I’m not going to want to see Fleetwood play any Rumors tracks until Leslie is invited back in the band!
