Glitches? Despite a couple of guitar glitches?!
David Rawling pouring his heart and soul into his guitar solo, playing with verve and emotion, in a live gig set up, and you hear glitches?
Sir, I am disappointed. I can only assume you have been spoilt by the Pro Tools perfection era. It’s the lack of perfection that makes it more perfect.
My favourite of many covers of Van Morrison’s ‘Into The Mystic’.
Feel free to point out glitches Bletch.

That’s what makes it live Lou.
As you say, it’s that upturned nose that shouldn’t be beautiful, but somehow is.
It’s that charming flush of the cheeks against unwanted red hair.
It’s that beauty spot that draws unwanted attention to the owner, but ensures that their personality is given chance to be ‘heard’.
As I said, it was really nice.
Some excellent suggestions on this thread. I like this one meself. Not often someone can cover the excellent Stevie Wonder, but this is top drawer - IMHO of course.
Not a produced cover as such, but this is worth a watch. Bonamassa and Randolph are in good form trying to cover the peerless Freddie.

Marvin Gayes cover of “I Heard it Through the Grapevine” pretty much rocked
I love the Kinks original and Van Halen’s in equal measure, even though I’m not at all keen on Van Halen in general. I think the new version is true to the original, but the extra licks really pump it up.

Yes, that is a nice cover, Mangobean.
But no sax.
Orange Juice do Al Green. What’s not to like?

Along the lines of what Bletch was on about. One of my favourite covers, it really takes a cracking song, gives it a new feel and makes it feel almost unrecognisable from the original.
