And Tommy Shaw has the nerve to complain about Dennis DeYoung's cheesy songs ?

True. and the list of cover versions is so long, that it might actually be easier to list who has NOT covered it. (Van Halen hasn't, for one.)

But here's a version of the song I somehow missed, until now......

**standin** · 10-20-2009, 12:53 PM

Great cover here!

**FORD** · 10-20-2009, 01:00 PM

And on the subject of unexpected covers from Keith Richards, here's one from the New Barbarians tour, in 1979......

Yep, but they never released it as a single. Orbison was the first artist to register a hit with the tune. The song was written by the Felice and Boudleaux Bryant writing team.

**FORD** · 10-20-2009, 01:09 PM

Dave covers the Beatles......

(unfortunately the whole performance ain't here... but it's a great 50 seconds or so)

**Kristy** · 10-20-2009, 01:12 PM

Fuck YouTube

Some of my favs are

It's a Man's Man's Man's World - by Concrete Blonde covering James Brown

Feel A Whole Lot Better - Tom Petty covering The Byrds

Cortez The Killer - The Church covering Neil Young

Every Grain Of Sand - Emmylou Harris covering Bob Dylan

Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers - Van Halen covering ZZ Top

Worst cover ever? Cowboy Junkies doing Velvet Underground's Sweet Jane.

**Kristy** · 10-20-2009, 01:16 PM

Ah, here we go. Something about Jim Mankey's bluesy Strat that just gets me.

I actually liked that one. Didn't care that much for their "reinterpretation" of Elvis Presley's version of "Blue Moon" though.

Worst.Band.Ever.

And the most boring. I had the misfortune of seeing the Cowboy Junkies live where all they did was sit in a circle to each other on lighted candle stage while Margo Timmons went on and on about the most depressing life stories imaginable before singing about them. Even Mott The Hoople did a better version of Sweet Jane then them.

Speaking of cover versions of Sweet Jane........

They managed to make a gay George Michael tune into a rocking one...

under my thumb...ministry!

**FORD** · 10-21-2009, 02:53 PM

Never heard that one. I'm guessing it must have been from the "Twitch" era, since there's still the synth-pop of their early era mixed in with the industrial-metal stuff.

This is a marginal, audience recording of what must have been mind-blowing to witness. Govt Mule covers Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". The crowd goes bananas, which aptly describes my reaction to this the first time I viewed it as well.

Harry Nilsson and John Lennon doing the same tune. This from the Lennon produced Pussy Cats album, released in 1974.

Guess Warren Haynes really likes "Shine On You Crazy Diamond". He also played it with The Dead on their first Jerry-less tour in 2004.
