the Portugal. The Man covers archive :: 9 covers and counting!
April 9th, 2012 by Matt
I thought I’d celebrate Portugal. The Man’s show in Lexington this week with a collection of their covers. They haven’t done as many as a lot of bands I’ve previously collected covers by, but these are some well chosen songs.

On their last tour, they were doing “All the Young Dudes” by Mott the Hoople (http://archive.org/details/ptm2012-01-20.tlm170.flac16) and “Don’t Look Back in Anger” by Oasis (http://www.youaintnopicasso.com/2011/08/11/video-portugal-the-man-cover-dont-look-back-in-anger-at-lolla/)

Hah! The idea to do this started with that Oasis cover and then I forgot to include it! Thanks!

I recall PTM used to jam on Ghostface’s “Kilo” during their live performances of “My Mind.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=N8bYh1N9Qck

Frank: nice! I debated including the Black Keys jam ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMKE1YA25n8&feature=related ) but wasn’t sure I should count it as a “cover” Might just do that, though. Thanks!
