Stones Covers
USENET
the Grateful Dead (forget her name). Got me thinking about how many
Stones cover versions there are. Under My Thumb by Streetheart has
always been a fav of mine. Perhaps you have some fav cover versions of
Stones tunes.
Any Tina Turner cover version is a good one also.

Kind of like Marianne Faithfull's version af "As Tears Go By" which was
written by Mick and Keith for her.
As a matter of fact The Stones first recorded the song later, s� I guess her
version does not qualify as a cover version strictly speaking.
Can't recall any covers on record by Tina Turner but remember her and Mick
doing a cover version of It's Only Rock'n'Roll at a Live Aid Concert, I
belive it was. It worked pretty well as far as I can remember
There have been som pretty horrible covers. I believe that Britney Spears
contributed with a horrible version of Satisfaction.
I am not too crazy about Melanie's version of Ruby Tuesday either - guess it
is mostly because of her little girlie voice which I really don't like.
My apologies for drifting slightly off topic.

I like Gram Parson's cover of Wild Horses.

Both Johnny Winter and Leon Russell did versions of "Jumpin' Jack Flash"
that gave the orginal a run for its money.
The Dead never had a female keyboard player however, presumably you're
referring to the keyboard player who was married to the female singer who
were both in the band through most of the 1970s--Keith and Donna Godchaux.
DG has indeed performed "19th Nervous Breakdown."

You are correct.
I really enjoy the JJF version done by Johnny Winter.

Listened to the Leon Russel version of JJF for the first time and I
enjoyed it.

It's one of the highlights of Johnny Winter And, Live.

The loooong live version which turns into "Young Blood" and then back into
"JJF" is especially good--it's on Leon Live originally issued in 1973 and
currently available on a double-CD release.

He does the same medley on the "Concert for Bangladesh."
