It depends....In the USA, If the venue is covered by ASCAP or BMI, OR if the artist has a personal licencing account through ASCAP or BMI, then "Yes" , they can cover almost any song live legally...If an audio recording or video recording exists that the artist can profit from, additional rights must be obtained from the agency that owns publishing of the song, such as The William Morris Agency.........
