My favourite cover song is this....

a cover of The Beatles "And I Love Her" - it's a bit dated and 60's in it's arrangement, BUT

just close your eyes and listen to the sublime control over that vocal. Wow.

A consummate artist.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnZiIW2QW0A

Scary make up though.
:shock:

by **SusieP** » Wed Feb 09, 2011 1:37 am

And does Run DMC's version of Walk This Way with Aereosmith count as a cover song if they had Aerosmith on it with them?

If so, THAT's my favourite, too. It's fun!

Speaking of the RK lineup, Mr Big, while in Asia have scheduled a one off show in Taiwan May 4th with special guest Richie Kotzen. All 5 on the same stage, that would be pretty darn cool, hope some youtubes come out of it!

:lol:

Better yet would be if Richie showed up at the LA gig and got pulled up for a song or two.

I love when bands do that kind of thing, impromptu jams, for a song or two. With it being the first original member show in US in over 15 years, individually/collectively they've worked or played with sooooo many people, and being in LA I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a few of their peers drop in.

I really liked this version a lot. WSOP has always been one of my favorites and I love the original by Procol Harum, but this version really does the song justice. Thanks for posting.

That's cool... and that'd be awesome if Richie came up and jammed at the L.A. show.
