That has absolutely nothing to do with it, otherwise covers would never be done. You can play anything you want, just as long as you aren't releasing it for profit without consent.
In terms of the legalities of performing covers, Canada's Copyright Act grants the creator of a copyright protected musical composition the sole right to perform the work in public. As such, in order to perform a copyright protected song, an artist must first obtain permission from the creator of the song or the owner of the copyright in the song, if such copyright has been assigned by the creator. Fortunately for the musician seeking to perform a cover, this burden is effectively relieved via the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN), the non-profit collective that administers performing rights in Canada

I think you are wrong about that:

I had a dream a few nights ago that I saw OLP at a fair, and only twenty people came out to watch. A little boy went onstage, and fell down, right in front of Mr. Guitarist. He stopped playing and picked the boy up and comforted him. It wasn't until after I woke up that I realized that I dreamt that Mike was playing, not Steve.
Yeah, I have odd dreams.
