I would go for something simple, but crowd pleasing, something like... Tom Petty - Free Falling, Staind - Outside, Floyd - Wish You Were Here, I just learned Blackbird by the Beatles, nice song to do alone. Of course Dave is good! ;-) Counting Crows - Mr. Jones, Everlast f/ Santana - Put Your Lights On, Hootie and the Blowfish - Hold My Hand, and Let Her Cry. If you know any Skynyrd of Zeplin, those would work extremely well :-D Well, that's what I've got for now, hope those help ya out, good luck man!

a sweet tool song is 46 and 2. it sounds real sweet acoustic. a cool band dynamic on top of that would be an awesome cover.
