Suggestions for Mellow Covers (blues, rock, album, concert, tracks)

Hey guys,

This is my first time posting (not that that has any relevance). ANWAYS, I'm playing a benefit concert for the Dana Farber Foundation (good charity that supports cancer research and such) and a little boy with cancer who's friend is running in the Boston Marathon for him. It's pretty touching stuff. They're even ending the concert with all of the bands playing Dylan's "Mighty Quinn" together (the kid's last name is Quinn). My band does covers and originals but we're a little stumped on what covers to play for a benefit concert. We want it to be mellow. For example: we're ending our set with "Let It Be". We do mostly classic rock and blues, occasionally straying into some modern material but not often. Any suggestions?

-Jay

"It's Alright, Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)"

I'm sorry, that was an awful attempt at a joke.

Keeping on the Dylan theme, what about I shall be released? A beautiful song about living and dying. not sure if it might be considered to be in bad taste though.

Listen to Ride's canival of light for some beautiful tracks about hope and very very mellow.
It is such a great album and noone I know hasn't liked it.
Crown of creation is a gem.
