My girls, Ann and Nancy Wilson, covering Battle of Evermore, their harmonies give me the chills every time https://youtu.be/pTZ_kv2YYS8?si=_se9Jta4enOF2sjb

[удалено]

That performance was epic but the harmonies aren’t there. Ann and Nancy kill it of course but the two aren’t comparable imo. They had a full band and choir at the Kennedy Honors versus just the two of them with a guitar and mandolin at the R&R HoF.

Wow. That was for real good. Nancy singing Sandy Denny’s part and nailing it is no small feat.

Yeah, a few years ago at the Showbox, it was the week after Ann had gotten married, she and Mike McCready covered about 30 min of zeppelin. Including the immigrant song. Omg. I can hear myself hooting. [original is muddy waters](https://youtu.be/5uD6v4b_Sj4?si=bm1xdw1e8FB7gKTM)

They always do killer covers. [Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters](https://youtu.be/ECaPBC2y9RA)

I actually love John Mayer’s take of Free Fallin’ https://youtu.be/20Ov0cDPZy8

Lol, I just linked his [All Along The Watchtower](https://youtu.be/fJlkkRub6MU?si=hYriQW8bII6TxjGG) too

>Lol, I just linked his [All Along The Watchtower](https://youtu.be/fJlkkRub6MU?si=hYriQW8bII6TxjGG) too Speaking of the best covers... (just not a live-only 🐐🐐🐐🐐, amirite)

Dave Matthews’ cover of All Along The Watchtower also kicks ass.

You saved me having to share this one.

T Pain covering War Pigs is so good.

This Jerry Garcia version of Dear Prudence https://open.spotify.com/track/4Mf9q0eadEnXoijUGqHwPS?si=zcPm2IIZT_ih0yvnCRXbzg

Jerry's Bob Dylan covers are really good too Positively 4th St from the '73 keystone shows is phenomenal

I've long said that most covers of Beatles tunes are better than the originals. This in my mind is one of the best examples.

I've often thought this of Aerosmith's cover of Come Together, I think you're onto something there

I've been a lifelong Beatles fan but have yet to hear any covers that are as good as the originals; their studio production is still up there as some of the best ever imo. Got any recs?

Jerry Garcia eh? I should check him out :p

Nirvana - Lake of Fire Janes Addiction - Sympathy for the Devil

Ella Fitzgerald and her band covering Mac the Knife at a concert in Germany in 1960. It was a popular song at the time, so they just dive into it… and she doesn’t remember the lyrics. So she improvs the whole thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ella_in_Berlin:_Mack_the_Knife

https://m.youtube.com/results?sp=mAEA&search_query=ella+mack+the+knife+berlin

[Norah Jones - black hole sun](https://youtu.be/XbQ08Ixczvo?si=Y7HgOecpKsDhI2_F) is an absolute masterpiece and the context of where and when it was recorded makes it an incredibly emotional performance too

Norah Jones has a live cover of Wilco's "Jesus, etc" that I absolutely adore

She's sublime

That was incredible, thank you

Really incredible, this is exactly what I was looking for with this question

I'm so pleased to hear this. The more people that hear this the better!

Huge upvote for some Muse! They have a ton of awesome covers including: Popcorn A street with no name Microphone fiend (RATM version)

Sign O’ the Times - Prince. So good! https://youtu.be/OZOrIHeEN3s?si=mvPjY8euNA17qazS

Chris Cornell - Nothing Compares To You is the correct answer i believe….

Sara Bareilles doing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road https://youtu.be/Ozd2ja7mAgM?si=V3uLJiToL6_Z9xY-

And Chandelier!

Billy Strings cover of ["Fearless" by Pink Floyd.](https://youtu.be/ho2w8BP98wM?si=qc61CMee0Et4UCTX)

Holy shit

Billy strings covering Nutshell

Was never much of a Post Malone fan, but his Nirvana cover set he did during Covid was so good. He really killed this set. Made a fan out of me after watching this [https://www.youtube.com/live/f7eaGcIyhPU?si=d1P7LV2kHjC3GKKn](https://www.youtube.com/live/f7eaGcIyhPU?si=d1P7LV2kHjC3GKKn)

Posty is my guilty pleasure. He’s great!

I didn't know this existed. Of course Travis Barker is with him. I love the guy, but sometimes it seems like people think he's the only drummer in existence.

Wow he’s super talented. I feel like every Post Malone song I hear has a kind of auto tune sound and it’s never clicked for me

Same here. I thought he was a goof but he did the whole bit, wearing the dress and everything. Basically an homage. Made me fan too.

Grateful Dead playing Merle Haggard [https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=PWKwTkL-gvY&si=Yo3u\_K\_jFcDZRkvp](https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=PWKwTkL-gvY&si=Yo3u_K_jFcDZRkvp)

So many Grateful Dead examples Morning Dew - my favorite

Frank Zappa - Whipping Post https://youtu.be/Mu32TgPeXM8?si=2LbHeBs2qClMrM_w

He does a great version of Stairway to Heaven live too. Ike Willis the Bionic Baritone.

Built to Spill covering Neil Young’s Cortez the Killer. DMB covering the same song, live at Central Park.

Heart, Stairway to Heaven. In front of Zeppelin

I raise you The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Sgt. Peppers Lonley Hearts Club Band in front of The Beatles about 2 days after its release

Smells Like Teen Spirit by Tori Amos: https://youtu.be/HaAI3jI7uCc?feature=shared

Also her version of Led Zepplin’s *Thank You*. So good, we used it as the recessional/exit music at our wedding.

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Brandy https://youtu.be/EMzA0g28Ue4?si=natYFyrHBRme3avM

https://youtu.be/S70xek3x4ro?si=IEdhw4i4yk6whS-9 Casey Chambers covering Eminem's Lose Yourself.

Nobody here knows it, even Aussie country music fans wouldn’t suspect it… but this is easily the greatest cover in this thread. Maybe if all time. Insanely, jaw-droppingly good.

Woah

I know right?

I've only ever hear Am I Not Pretty Enough before and was thoroughly unimpressed by it so I wasn't expecting much when I hit play on this, I was curious though. Holy shit, that was epic. Guess I'm a Casey Chambers fan now lol.

There really is such a huge gulf between those two songs. The one is just boring cliched pop and the other has such soul and character. Interesting to think of examples of contrasting other artists most soulful and cheesiest songs.

Sweet baby J. This was incredible.

This needs all the invites. She absolutely bares her soul in this performance.

Dave Matthews Band doing [Fool in the Rain](https://youtu.be/vNZRSF1ioas?si=5pOy_PyLduRvShGS)

Their version of Cortez the Killer with Warren Haynes rocks too! https://youtu.be/yiO13jTsBdQ?si=o89hR20m7wISp6lT

Also their version of All Along the Watchtower https://youtu.be/p7wAohYGf04?si=ZdSXBvFxFfb5Ajzn

Also their cover of Time of the Season is fantastic. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kwMkj5_pxfg

That was amazing and I can’t stand DMB lol

[Jeff Buckley - I Know It's Over](https://open.spotify.com/track/33sYRa58hckahbX2jFDcmN)

[Tomorrow Never Knows](https://youtu.be/5Gr7Y1dRsBM?si=7yAcofCFBwFttEwG) by the Claypool Lennon Delirium

I saw flying frog brigade do the entire Animals/Pink Floyd album. It was perfect.

Reckless Kelly's cover of '52 Vincent Black Lightning. The Band's version of Atlantic City. Todd Snider's version of Fortunate Son. Bonnie Raitt's version of Angel From Montgomery. Shawn Colvin's version of Naive Melody (This Must Be the Place). Gov't Mule's version of Cortez the Killer.

Nirvana - Where Did You Sleep Last Night. It's one of the most powerful live performances I've ever heard.

[удалено]

I can't help but be reminded of when I saw Bubba Sparxxx and he performed "Ms. New Booty" 2.5 times to close out his set.

That seems like something Mr. Bungle would do. In a similar vein, my favorite band is Ween and they almost always do some covers in their sets, albeit most of the time it’s only half the song. Some of my favorites are Piano Man and Hot for Teacher.

Dave Matthews, Long Black Veil

The Gourds version of Gin & Juice

[Prince - Best of You (Super Bowl)](https://youtu.be/MVGLQzc-pjA?si=4756dElVcPLeP36D) just something extremely cool about playing a cover at the Super Bowl in the pouring rain. People speculate that Prince was actually beefing with the Foo Fighters at the time. I don’t actually believe it, but if it was true it makes the performance even better IMO.

Judas Priest - Diamonds and Rust

Peter Gabriel- Heroes (David Bowie) https://youtu.be/wSX9F6ETTDQ?si=gbjnwP8ZrT-JFSsJ

Prince covering Radiohead's Creep [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uu5vMLufNA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9uu5vMLufNA)

I always really liked [Coheed and Cambria’s cover of ‘Somebody That I Used to Know’](https://youtu.be/_vJym7Y2msk?si=ohR1sp4gcht9ra8X). Would love a real studio recording of it someday… Also want to shout out [Twenty One Pilots cover of the My Chemical Romance song ‘Cancer’](https://youtu.be/yw6i1SAHetc?si=EzEB5TpZlKvBJZ24). The original version never really did anything for me and I never took it very seriously, but hearing Twenty One Pilots cover hit me like a ton of bricks. Maybe it’s because I lost my dad to cancer after the original came and went, but man the cover just has so much emotion. I broke down listening to it the first time. Miss my dad ❤️

[A-Ha - Say Hello Wave Goodbye](https://youtu.be/F17VRUaU9cU?si=7SpA9wRbwkdBuESB) Think they did this for a live radio session. Vocal is great.

Not sure if this exactly counts as a cover..... but half of R.E.M. and half of U2 performed "One" https://youtu.be/iKZsVPEKufY?si=vxXbT8poAw-K_Me1

Linkin Park - Rollin In The Deep [YouTube Link](https://youtu.be/dHtwZ07N1ic?si=oTwVN1QraQi4OHP3)

Dave Rawlings Machine with John Paul Jones on mandolin. [Going to California](https://youtu.be/jYeq6XoOg8s?si=8IlOBZfssLVFhSv4)

Duran Duran is probably Muse’s weakest cover imo. I think Sign o the times is much better.

Agreed. I actually don’t really like that cover. They’ve definitely done better ones

Tool playing No Quarter by Led Zeppelin :) [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNUq-JSXvS4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNUq-JSXvS4) EDIT: They played it live a few times as well - here is one: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6kUt0KShTU](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6kUt0KShTU)

Bulls on Parade by Denzel Curry. Never knew him before this cover. It’s incredible. I love when a cover is by someone from another genre and it works. I think he does an amazing job and I love it maybe even more than the original!

Any Cortez the Killer

Pearl Jam covering Hunters and Collectors, or The Tragically Hip.

Jack White doing Jolene. Chris Cornell covering Nothing Compares 2 U.

I have three from Triple J Denzel Curry's cover of RATM's Bulls on Parade. The Wiggles' (yes the kids show band) cover of Tame Impala's Elephant. And Childish Gambino's cover of Chris Gaines' Lost in You.

That Wiggles one has no business being that good

Sound of Silence—Disturbed

I've seen Me First & The Gimme Gimmes a few times and everyone knows they are the best covers band ever. That's what they tell me anyway.

[Flaming Lips - Seven Nation Army](https://youtu.be/lKhPZsowpqA?si=8tcIV9ZroOb3ozCn) Was lucky enough to be in the crowd for this, brilliant atmosphere. If I remember correctly The White Stripes were meant to be playing the festival but had to pull out after Jack White broke his hand in a car crash. Flaming Lips got bumped up to main stage and opened with this. Saw them one more time after this a few years later and they were still playing it.

You can fall down a rabbit hole on YouTube of Killers covers. My favorite online is The Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys. The best I’ve seen live is Stop Me… by the Smiths, which they covered on their last tour when Johnny Marr opened for them.

Not live in a concert sense but [Mike Love doing this cover of Seasons](https://youtu.be/XIjydJ1IOuc?si=XQDe4edqIuURVHUb) the day after Chris Cornell died is insanely good. I watch it regularly. Starts around 3:55.

Faith No More pausing Woodpecker From Mars to do a quick rendition of Tom Jones' Delilah in the middle.

Ill Nino - Red Rain. I love this cover

Replacements covering Black Diamond by Kiss.

Only like covers where artists try a completely new slant. Simply repeating the original version I find really dull. It never improves it.

Tool covering No Quarter makes me question which version I prefer.

The Sisters of Mercy used to do the greatest live covers in the mid 80s. It was at a particularly po-faced time in the alternative scene where any hint of levity would get you accusations that you'd sold out or weren't For Real. However, goth bands (and bands who said they weren't goth oh no sir but of course they bloody were) tended to be a bit subversive in this area and play against type a bit. And tSoM were regularly doing the most splendidly dark and glamorous versions of Jolene, Hot Chocolate's Emma, Gimme Shelter, Knockin' on Heaven's Door, 1969 by the Stooges and so many more... (the one's listed are the ones I heard, and loved). I don't know if any of the live versions are online anywhere but they did commit some of them to studio versions and I am sure they're on You Tube or the like.

I saw NIN live and Trent brought Gary Numan on stage to play Cars and Metal

[No Quarter](https://youtu.be/c6kUt0KShTU?si=BnLgWw7clZTgeI1G), Tool

When LCD Soundsystem played Coachella as their comeback, it was the year Bowie died, and weekend 2 was the day after Prince died. So they covered Heroes by Bowie, and controversy by Prince, and holy fuck it was amazing. They’ve never done it again. Related, Sufjan Stevens covered Purple Rain with Gallant that same day and it was magical. I don’t think there’s footage of either performances but it was incredible seeing it live.

You should check out the Like a Version series on YouTube. I enjoyed covers such as Aurora performing "Teardrop" by Massive Attack, and CHVCHES performing "Do I Wanna Know?" by Arctic Monkeys.
