Coolest thing ever was when Billy Joel went into "A Hard Day's Night" right in the middle of "River of Dreams". It really energized the crowd. Nothing like a well-timed cover.

Isn't that the definition of copyright theft though? Using someone else's creativity and lyrics to make profit? That's a textbook example of copyright theft I wonder how artists get away with it, maybe an unwritten rule? But then again, it could be a written rule I'm not aware of.
