So... is this a thread about whether artists CAN cover songs live, or whether they should?
I'm no lawyer, so I don't know of the legalities, but I've seen enough bands perform covers that I'm pretty sure it's ok. It can also add a lot to a concert.
That being said, there are some instances where using a cover instead of original material can seem a little lazy. When the artist doesn't bring anything new to the song, I would rather just listen to the original. But yeah, in general, I think performing a cover can really bring a good vibe to a show.
