I think it was on the Breathe tour that they were playing Atomic Electric by Rebecca's Empire(?).
 
I never heard it, but it may be on a recording somewhere. They did a bit of Highway to Hell on a recording from hamburg too I think.
 
Many of these things now do a disc of covers accompanied by a disc of the originals - good to compare.
 
Question - anyone know who the guy is who wrote Harrisburg with Jim, Wilkins(?) is the name?? Anyone know who he is?
 
Cheers
 
Kev

I was going to do this years ago (was even going to use the same name for
it!) but never managed to get around to it...

To add to your list: 

Wipeout, from the Wanda Beach benefit show in the early 80's. 
Advance Australia Fair, opened a few shows in 1998
Blackfella Whitefella - Warumpi Band
Dazed And Confused - Led Zeppelin
Kolele Mai - Timorese traditional?
No Man's Land - don't now if this counts as a cover, but the Oils didn't
write it
The Redback On The Toilet Seat
Sweet Georgia Brown
Waltzing Matilda
