Underrated cover song...

One of the best uses of music and editing on TV was the opening montage of "Person of Interest" after a traumatic event (SPOILERS!). this still gives me chills:
It's a great cover but I would not consider it "underrated".
not sure if I posted this yet, but "Drum Madness" was essentially Jason Bonham and Tico Torres, covering "Moby Dick" for the benefit CD "Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell" . . . and the knock the crap out of this tune:
Will try to check this out, but I gotta say that I find it really difficult to watch video of the Allman Brothers Band these days. ("These days," pun was not intended, but just noticed it.) Greg's death just put a bit of a capper on things for me. I have no trouble playing a DVD (i.e., just the audio), but the video is too depressing to watch. And I just don't think I could sit through someone trying to cover this band, in particular. I might take in a Dicky Betts show if he ever tours to a locale near me, but it seems like roughly half the ABB live concert songbook is kaput without Greg there to sing lead vocals.
going slightly off topic, but Karl Denson's Tiny Universe just did a live Allman's set . . . and holy peach pits, they blow the friggin doors off this set
Hard to have anyone pull off their unique style with any success. I tried to see them each year at the Beacon and always left saying they were the best playing band I ever saw.
Hard to disagree. Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is pretty awesome.
Warren doing Into the Mystic is great!
Beacon and March in NYC just aren't the same without them.
Miss them and Jerry very much.
Agreed. Never put on a bad show. Have to say tho, that TTB is pretty damn good.
Try and catch Dead and Co. Oteill is very good with them, and doing some great vocal.s
Hard to beat the original. Finally got to see them Oct 22, 2003. They opened with America.
And of course the late Marc Moreland playing guitar there in Ring of Fire was the subject for Concrete Blonde’s “Joey.”
Thanks I didn't know that.
I always liked Concrete Blonde, especially their Bloodletting album, Walking in London is pretty good as well.
Another excellent cover of Ring of Fire was by Social Distortion.
I didn't scroll through this thread so maybe this was mentioned before....
This past weekend I watched Runnin' Down a Dream, a documentary on Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers on Netflix. There is a segment where Petty talks about the first time he heard Johnny Cash sing Won't Back Down, and he was blown away. TP said the song should have been written for Cash.

the A.V. club has a series called Undercover that has some interesting interpretations.

Every year they bring in GWAR to do a song. Here's their spin on "West End Girls" by the Pet Shop Boys, to which they added Jim Carroll's "People Who Died" at the end.

Nice version of this Van Morrison classic. Not sure if this was posted before on this thread, but was listening to it earlier this AM.
speaking of Warren Haynes, when I saw The Dead in 2004, Haynes ripped out a chilling cover of "One" by U2 (couldn't find the concert, but here's a great version years later):
Mitch Ryder (When you were mine) - great cover of a GREAT Prince song.
And featured in the greatest ski movie of all time - Hot Dog, the Movie
