Tom P*tty and the Heartbreakers loved to drop in cover songs in their concerts. I count well over 100 such songs. Usually, they were the classic songs they grew up with, mostly from the 1950s and 1960s. I've compiled a bunch of albums containing all of the live covered they did that I could find. After looking into this pretty closely, I think there are only about six cover versions I couldn't find, and most or all of those probably were never bootlegged.
(Note that I'm not using the full name of this artist due to concerns about copyright issues.)
I've organized this series of albums, and the songs within each album, chronologically. The sound quality is generally excellent. For two of the songs here, the sound quality wasn't as good as the others, so I've added those as bonus tracks. In some cases, such as the bonus tracks, we're lucky to have any recordings at all, because they were only played in concert once or twice.
I've been pretty aggressive in terms of removing all audience noise for the whole series. In retrospect, I kind of regret that, but it's too late to change now. (This grew out of me finding just the occasional cover song, which I added to compilations of his stuff with mostly studio tracks.)
Note also that I'm including all the covers he did live, even in the rare cases where he put covers on his studio albums. There aren't very many of those. ("I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better" from "Full Moon Fever" is one well-known example.) However, I didn't include cover songs if they were only done in the studio, since I put those on my Tom P*tty stray studio tracks albums already.
This album is 42 minutes long, not including the bonus tracks.
I'm not including the track list due to copyright issues. But you can find it in the mp3 download file.

For the cover art, I used a concert poster from 1978. I had to make some adjustments to get the rectangular shape to fit the square shape of covers.
