Best live covers

BigTaurean · 05-11-2003, 10:11 AM

I saw Avril Lavigne yesterday in concert yesterday and she did a pretty cool version of Basket Case by Green Day. What are some other good live covers you have seen?

Sober done by Staind was very tight, though most of the covers they do are good.

I liked One done by KoRn as well (either just inthe middle of whatever song they did it in, or on the MTVicon)

The best part about Korn doing "One", was how they didnt even try the solo.

Jimmee · 05-27-2003, 01:41 AM

I was actually looking forward to hearing the solo, the rest of it was pretty good (in comparison to most of the others anyway, the Stain'd cover was dreadful, his guitar was out of tune) but alas

I'd say whatever Jeff Buckley happened to cover the night he was playing, his most famous cover was of Halleluijah (sp?) but some of the others were fantastic. The Way Young Lovers Do with the scat singing in the middle (especially the bit where he goes right the way up) and I Shall Be Released (sung down a telephone to a radiostation that called him) being two of my favourites.

I've never heard anyone cover Live. Their music kind of sucks, so I'm not sure why anyone would want to.

I stumbled a while ago on a pretty neat cover of Baby One More Time by Travis. Thanks to the "travis'isation", the song becomes pretty poignant, even if the band has an hard time not laughing at their own inabillity to sing the most high keyed parts.

The best live cover?

Without a doubt when Phish covered the The Who's entire Quadrophenia album live in one set.
