First favorite cover that came to mind was Crazy. Absolutely looooove Talisman's and/or JSSB's more edgy take on it.

Talisman ~ Crazy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieMVdbFHNYQ
JSSB ~ Crazy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKqrmS0C8VQ (LOL, a couple CRAZY Debs in attendance :lol: )

Seal ~ Crazy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fc67yQsPqQ

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.

Scary make up though.
:shock:

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. :D

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. :D

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