OT: Favorite Cover's of Classic or Iconic Songs

[Aluminny69]

Rumor has it, Judy hung out in Storrs in the early sixties. Steven Stills wrote the song Suite Judy Blue Eyes for his then girlfriend. Beautiful voice.

Gipsy Kings - Hotel California​

Love this one.

 

[meyers7]

I see we are ready playing fast and loose with the terms "classic" and "iconic".

 

[Bigboote]

Steppenwolf doing a Muddy Waters/Willie Dixon classic. The Allman Brothers did a really good very different version a year or two later.

 

[Bigboote]

I see we are ready playing fast and loose with the terms "classic" and "iconic".

And "cover".

Larissa Liveir - Black Magic Woman

And one amazing smile while playing

You reminded me of a piano solo I love to watch. She even has the flute solo down. I've watched this video many times.

True, but the question was, which do you prefer? Some people don't like alternate versions, some do. How about you, or others?

For the most part, I prefer an alternate take. If you're gonna do something that's already been done, make it your own.

I see we are ready playing fast and loose with the terms "classic" and "iconic".

What’s new? Haven’t we had something like ten “generational”players in the last year or two?

I consider this one of the best Iron Butterfly covers of In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. I think that Sina does a good job playing Ron Bushy's part on the drums, she was 17 at the time this was done, enjoy.

A piece of trivia, the lead singer Doug Ingle was drunk or high or both when this was recorded and was supposed to be singing "In the Garden of Eden". They were basically messing with the lyrics and the engineer was rolling the tape. When they were done recording it, they liked it and kept it as recorded.
