yeti# Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Inspired by this blog post: http://contemporaryclassicrock.wordpress.com/2013/07/23/what-is-the-best-led-zeppelin-cover-ever/ What is the best cover of a Led Zep song done by another artist? I might say Jeff Healey's cover of Communication Breakdown with John Popper on harmonica from his album Cover to Cover. Thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pagesbow Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Before I learned how to use the search function, I asked a similar question http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/17365-covers-of-zeppelin-songs/?hl=covers There is also these http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/2052-best-led-zeppelin-covers/page-6?hl=covers http://forums.ledzeppelin.com/index.php?/topic/19024-zep-covers-by-other-artists/?hl=covers Anyway, my favourite is probably Tori Amos' version of Thank You. This I like too, from the late Kevin Gilbert. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yeti# Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Apologies for the repeat thread. It was worth it just to get that link you posted to the Kevin Gilbert version of Kashmir. Thanks - that's awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

penny.lane Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I really like this version of Kashmir by David Garrett Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ledzepfvr Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 ^^ David Garrett does any awsome job on that. I've seen one of his shows on PBS where he plays that. Heart does some good covers of Zeppelin songs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MJC455 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 this version by Epic Ruins has grown on me, since not many covers of this song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tangerina Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 May be on here already-but there's a some videos on youtube of Chris Cornell doing his great live version of Thank You. Also recently when I chaperoned my kid + friends to a three band show at a coffee house-a rap group played, an indie/guitar group played, then came a drummer and a DJ duo--who closed the show with...their version of No Quarter-had to give 'em props for picking a cool song- won't say it's the BEST No Quarter cover I've ever heard but was surely the most unusual.

snkcube Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 (edited) This is one of my favorite covers of The Rain Song. What's cool is that the cover was done by one person. Edited September 9, 2013 by snkcube Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trapper Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Gruhak - Night Flight (their covers of i.e. Pink Floyd and The Who are the best I've heard too!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nick2632 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Communication Breakdown covered by Iron Maiden (very heavy, Bruce Dickinson has a crazy voice for the song) Thank You covered by Tesla and Great White (both covers are done well, but Zeppelin live blows them both away!) Out On The Tiles covered by Blind Melon (not a fan of them, but it sounds cool) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gridlock Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 (edited) Great White's, "Babe, I'm going to leave you" is an excellent Zep remake. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMdIV8i_mfU My old band attempted this song also and we didn't sound half bad also...

stacilayne Posted December 17, 2013 Share Posted December 17, 2013 BLACK LABEL SOCIETY - In My Time of Dyin' It's on YouTube, but for some reason, this forum will not allow me to "paste" (not even plain text). You can easily find it on YouTube. It's pretty great. Zack Wylde does lots of LZ covers. Staci Quote Link to post Share on other sites
