What would be a great cover song for Big Organ Trio to add to the live show?

Current B.O.T. cover songs include:
Rootdown - Jimmy Smith
I Wish - Stevie Wonder
Cold Duck Time - Eddie Harris
Steady Rollin' Man - Robert Johnson
Dark Star - Grateful Dead
Sweet Emotion - Aerosmith
Up The Beach - Jane's Addiction
Play It Back - Lonnie Smith
L.A. Woman - The Doors

What other songs would you like to hear the band play live?
Who knows....they might add it to an upcoming show.
Past setlists are on the B.O.T. site (shows page).

How about some Led Zeppelin??? The Meters??? Black Sabbath???
Got any good ideas?

Well since they have the organ and they use some latin beats on the drums sometimes they could cover a santana song nicely, i mean the organ might have to do the gutiar and the actual organ parts at the same time, but judging from what I have heard the man do, I think he could pull it off.

how about "Cars Trucks Buses" by Phish?
or maybe "King Kong" by Frank Zappa?

to "Gregg the Deadhead" (above):
B.O.T. does a little bit of a "Santana-esque" jam at the end of "Organ Grinder". In the live show there is also a "Third Stone from the Sun" (Hendrix) jam in the "Santana Jam" with the bass doing the melody/solo and the organ holding down the bassline and chords. On www.bigorgantrio.com, there's an "Organ Grinder" live track posted with the extended jam and a percussionist. Check it out.

The Mortat von Mackie Messer is the greatest song ever composed. I dont know where you would find a hurdy-gurdy, but if you do, you have got to cover that song.
