^^^^^^ Not heard that version for yonks. The only Georgia satellites you ever hear on the radio is "tied down with Batteship chains"

As much as I love Hendrix - and he was one of the best cover artists ever (I would put All Along the Watchtower right up there!) - this is a track of his that I think has been done better here.

Sorry, couldn't resist it. This is just sublime.

I think you meant this one by Derek and the Dominoes

Metallica's cover of Bob Seger's "Turn the Page" replaces the original's saxophone with slide guitar, and is immeasurably better for it

[Jody]

and this one, not necessarily better than the original, but certainly as good as, with a different theme

If we're having a "little wing 'em off"
I give you Steve Ray Vaughan.

I saw him do this in 1990. Live, the guy was fucking incredible.

Fountains of Wayne. Hit me baby one more time.

[G.P]

Elvis giving it a bit of Merl Haggerd..

[G.P]

This is deffo the best version of Karma Police.

The Radiodread album version is more like the original but this is more fun IMO

[G.P]

Check this kid out. 17 yrs old in this performance. 21 now and thankfully a bit slimmer. this is jam packed full of blues.

[G.P]

This one is cheating as the standards are standards but its an excuse to give you Kingfish doing Catfish blues..
