Great Covers

[August West]

In this instance, given the drummer, almost tears of a parent. lol

Same song very different approaches, both jaw dropping.

... won't allow me a second video...

Wait 30seconds...

Watch out for the guy in that red hat down on the end.

Shinedown - Simple Man

All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix

When Dylan plays this song, even he does the Hendrix version.

I don't think there is a cover song that is more guitarist friendly. Garcia positively whales on it in the Dead's version.

Love the weeping uke

I Will Survive by Cake
Runaway be Bonnie Raitt
All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix
Little Wing by Derek and the Dominos
Almost anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Cause there's nothing funnier than a 63 year old dude rocking out to Rocket Man, Sweet Caroline and Leaving on a Jet Plane the way they were meant to be played

For a moment I thought Ann Wilson had eaten Nancy. She can still belt it out, though.

And Jimmy Page isn't kidding anyone- he's nuts. I went to school with a girl who turned her car into a shrine to Jimmy Page. It was plastered with over 5,000 pictures of him inside and out.

The circa 1977 colonoscopy must have been something to see.

Seriously, though, I was inspired and am now listening to Zeppelin 4.

 

[Orville]

Cannot be bothered to figure out how to post a video, but Sweet Jane by the Cowboy Junkies is eerily haunting.

[Ivanhoe64]

Linda Ronstadt's cover of Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou"
Grand Funk Railroad's cover of Little Eva's "The Loco-Motion"
Manfred Mann's cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Blinded By the Light"

I Will Survive by Cake
Runaway be Bonnie Raitt
All Along the Watchtower by Hendrix
Little Wing by Derek and the Dominos
Almost anything by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Personally I like the SRV version myself.

 

[jlanger]

Gonna post this one as probably one of the best covers ever.

MOD Edit: Sadly, it wasn't family friendly

 

[Toothpick]

I like the guitar work here a lot better than the original.

 

[davent]

This band's intrigue me for decades, from bludgeoning cacophony to hauntingly beautiful as in this cover.
