Favourite Cover Versions you prefer as much/more than the Original - Jerome - 17-07-2011

I am not a great Beatles fan but there is no denying their huge influence on music and it is seldom I would say that someone does a better version of their material but this is the one exception. The live Woodstock version of this is a track that still gives me goosebumps. Worth noting too that Nikki Yanofsky chose this version to cover.

Etta James - Take It To The Limit (The Eagles)
Tom Jones - Unbelievable (EMF)
Both versions convince me that the artists "own" their performance of the songs.
