Video is unavailable for some reason but I managed to copy the link and get the info before it went to blank screen...

pretty sure they're a Perth band who were playing before I left town, but I didn't go see them live. What I've seen of their stuff is pretty... energetic, shall we say? :lol:

My niece in Melbourne sent them my way, if you get the chance to see them live do so, like I say mental (in a good way).

I went to a gig in Perth back in the early 2000s that saw a number of big name acts cycle through two stages over the course of the day.

Dylan played but he wasn't the headline act... that was Ray Charles fercryinoutloud. Beth Orton was there, Ani DiFranco, John Mayall, Wilson Pickett... it was eclectic to say the least.

Dylan covered Hendrix's cover of Watchtower and it was incendiary. His band were so tight they squeaked and they made the stage blister with that effort. It was out of the park good... I can say I managed a Dylan gig where he played well and with interest. I also made it to a Dylan gig where he ahhhh... didn't.

I went to a gig at the Hammersmith Odeon once where you were half way through the track before you realised what the fuck it was

Good work with the recent posts, great stuff.

Dickey Betts, founder member of the Allman Brothers Band, died a couple of weeks ago, the next night Billy Strings did a cover as a tribute.

I like the arrangement, however, Liz Fraser's vocal, itself a cover of course, is almost sacrosanct

I think The Czars nicks it by a nose. A young John Grant.

Ok not a cover but when this happened on The Tube in 1984 it knocked me sideways, rather baffled the Goths in the audience but not many better songs are better than this.

Not when he messes with the melody that much, don't agree.

I've always liked JF's version. Prefer it to Tim's, actually. Tim's voice shifts too much and he sounds like two different people which I don't click with. This Mortal Coil tough to beat.

I guess you could call this a cover even though it is played with the original band, i honestly think Miley Cyrus is so underrated, she is really growing on me as a singer.
