mfwahl Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 I've only heard him do it in the middle of "Big Things," usually adding a very nice and melodic verse or two of The Beach Boys' " Wouldn't it be Nice" to the tail end of "Come Together" before heading back into "Big Things." ed. Here's a youtube version of the Dino, Jr. cover:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZKXRpcFcUY And here's my favorite version of Jerry Joseph and the Jack Mormons doing the "Big Things-> Come Together- Wouldn't it be Nice-> Big Things" live two years ago at Egos in Salt Lake City (off of archives):http://ia301124.us.archive.org/3/items/jjj...15d1t02_vbr.mp3Thanks!

mfwahl Posted July 8, 2008 Share Posted July 8, 2008 Haven't heard this yet but I saw there's a cover of Man in Me (Bob Dylan) on the reissue of Clash's London Calling. I'm hoping it's good. Anyone hear this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SteveMck Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I love Steve Earle & The Supersuckers version of the Stones (Keith Richards vocal) Before They Make Me Run.From Some Girls, the Stones version of Just My Imagination is pretty damn good too. I forget who did it originally though. I'd like to hear Wilco cover Far Away Eyes or Respectable from Some Girls. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
