That IS a blinder, I have REM doing it as well.........excellent. I also find there imponto version of 'All along the watchtower' is superb especially they recorded it there and then live, with Bono unsure of the lyrics 5 mins before they hit the stage, as viewers of Rattle and Hum have seen. Worth it seeing The Edge struggle with chord changes in their trailer..........classic as The Edge RARELY plays a duff note

I bet there are a lot of local unknown acts these days that go unnoticed especially if they play rock
One of out best downunder were called 'The Zep Boys'
60 minutes of these boys live and you would swear you'd scene the real Led Zep...Black Dog,Rock N Roll,Stairway to Heaven...they had the energy and a realistic sound to boot

Speaking of which, Jimi Hendrix's version of Like A Rolling Stone Is IMHO out of this world. I have a DVD of his and he does that live as well as All Along The Watch Tower. Also If you can call It a cover version, his rendition of The Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock Is also on the DVD and Is great. WOW
