Mike McCready (Pearl Jam), Duff McKagan G&R), Mark Arm (Mudhoney), and Barrett Martin (Mad Season ,et al) of Seattle cover the Stooges live in Seattle.

Wow. Great find.

As huge as Pearl Jam is, Mike seems strangely underrated as a guitarist. I always sit on his side at PJ shows and that is no knock on Stone.

Extra credit for Duane playing guitar

Duanne Allman on Guitar!

Not sure if this qualifies as a true "cover" as it's a case of the original song's author reclaiming his work after another band made it a top 5 UK hit (which I cannot believe because the Amen Corner recording is awful).

Roy Wood took it back a year later, had The Move release it with a great power chord intro. And (surprising to me) this superior version did not chart.



While I'm on the topic of Roy Wood, Cheap Trick covered a number of Wood's songs with varying degrees of success. One of my favorites is "Rock and Roll All Night", as Wood's original recording with Wizzard was extremely muddy so I'm glad someone covered that gem.

By the way, what a horrific story behind that above mentioned pop classic.

I've always liked this song. Awful story, but I had to like the post for how he turned the experience around.

Incidentally, the cover is awful. Same key (to my untrained ear) and very similar arrangement. No need to cover the song in that case, IMO.

Yeah, it doesn't touch the original.
