Jahfin Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Chip Robinson (ex-Backsliders) covers Ryan Adams' "Oh, My Sweet Carolina" last night at the Pour House in Raleigh during a post wedding bash that also included Tres Chicas, the Small Ponds, Mic Harrison & the High Score and possibly the last performance ever from Patty Hurst Shifter. Evidently he learned it on the way downtown as a special last minute request from the newlyweds. He done good.

missytootsweet Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 This is a nice cover of Neil Young's "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere", by the Red Hot Chili Peppers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WJyS3sEX1GY But Neil's voice is too unique for anyone to score a total bullseye, as shown below on the original. I would give the RHCP an 8 out of 10 for their version........missy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 David Rawlings Machine covering Ryan Adams. In a way, this isn't really a cover since David and Gillian Welch play on the original. It's just that Ryan isn't on this version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driver8 Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 The band Tesla from California have been playing 'Thank You' in recent years, they recorded a version in their 2007 album of covers "Real to Reel". Band member Frank Hannon has explained that the album was recorded used vintage instruments and technology of the 70s, trying to recreate the sound of that period.

Strider Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Jon Brion's one-of-a-kind shows have always been a mix of Jon's originals and requests shouted out by the audience, ranging from Cole Porter to the Beatles to Radiohead and everything inbetween. Largo has a strict no-taping policy, which was easier to get around in the old days when Largo was on Fairfax, so I didn't hold out much hope of finding a lot of Brion on YouTube, only to be pleasantly surprised at what I did find. I should probably start a stand-alone thread for Jon Brion and his unique talents, but I'll leave that for another day. But for now, here are three covers that I found; two of them I was actually in the audience for: Stairway to Heaven and Alone Again(Naturally). You should keep in mind that these songs were often performed off-the-cuff, in response to the audience's requests, with little or no planning beforehand. First up, Gilbert O'Sullivan's "Alone Again(Naturally)" w/ Aimee Mann at Largo, 1997: http://youtu.be/l3C7defYJ8g Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Next, Jon on one of his rare forays outside of Los Angeles, with a whole host of friends(including Pat Sansone and John Stirratt from Wilco) doing the Beatles "I Feel Fine" at the Harris Theatre in Chicago, 2007: http://youtu.be/oxe_0wijLjM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Finally, please bring a sense of humour and open-mindedness to this...it's Jon performing "Stairway to Heaven" as only he can at Largo...and yes, that is Jon playing ALL the instruments you hear. He has a looping thing that lets him lay down a drum track, then he'll play a bass riff, then either keyboards or rhythm guitar, and then sing and play lead on top of all that...it's truly a sight to behold, watching him build a song up from the ground, so-to-speak. Anyway, since today is the 40th anniversary of Led Zeppelin IV, what better time to share this with the more eclectic Led Zeppelin fans here. For those with ADD, the guitar solo kicks in around the 7-minute mark: http://youtu.be/2zR3SMcfPZ0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
