..it's a barn burner.......
way cool !!
steve's version of "dead flowers" live is hotter than hot...available (i think it's still available) on the live album he did on a Canadian label circa The Dukes (version 1)....incredible album...incredible cover....really so...
steve intros it as a song from a 'hillbilly band from England' super super cover...ALL stones fans should at least give this gem a listen...very satisfying... circa early nineties...each time i've seen steve live he's pulled out a Stones cover, and made it stick!
I love this!! Been a Steve Earle fan for a few years now and I have never heard this. Cool find - thanks!
Oh and to stay on topic, my votes would be the already-mentioned "Brown Sugar" by Ryan Adams and Beth Orton (sexy as hell), "Let's Spend The Night Together" by David Bowie, "Let's Spend the Night Together" again by Muddy Waters, and "Dead Flowers" by Townes Van Zandt.
Now that's a nice album with some great tracks!
Thank U!! I was just getting ready to ask the same question...by far this is my fav cover of JJ Flash
"Doctor please, some more men please,
To Cotchford Farm, out by the pool...
What a drag it is they couldn't revive him"
Brian Jones 2/28/42 - 7/2/69
Sorry, but i think their version is better than a lot : they made THEIR version, without reproducing the version of the Stones.
And i don't think that Gavin Friday is the lackey of Bono. They were childhood friends.
This one is great, but live only. I don't like the studio version from the Dynasty album.
Talk about your favorite band.

Check out honestmans post...who can tell us the mistake.
The Flyin' Burrito Brothers = Wild horses
Bobby WOMACK = It's all over now
Strange choice 'cause even though Bobby later rerecorded it
he also wrote it and sang on the original by The Valentinos 1964 .....

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Steve Earle and the Supersuckers version of Before They Make Me Run. That comes very close to out-rocking the original and puts the guitars in your face more than any Stones or Winos live version I have ever heard. I demo my stereo with it sometimes. It's on a rare EP CD.

I think the Black Crowes do Torn & Frayed better than the Stones live, but no one can touch the original studio version.

One take of Steve Earle's Dead Flowers is on a Live BBC disc released in the US just this year but recorded many years ago in England with the Dukes as his backup band. It's a slower tempo and sneaks up on you, building to an amazing crescendo of guitars and junkie angst.

A version everybody should hear!

Ah, I had forgotten about Linda Ronstadt's Tumblin Dice.
Thanks for your tune suggestions, everyone--I'm trying to find some of them
now.

I like I'm Free by the Soup Dragons. It's a totally different song, but still cool.
There's 2000 Man by KISS, but I doubt anyone would put that on their "best of" list
Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

I don't love KISS, but I like them ok.
Back in the NY Groove is my favorite, I just played it for my son this past weekend.
"It's gonna be ecstacy, this place was meant for me"
