The Rolling Stones - Back Street Girl
Eric Clapton and Steve Winwood - Them Changes (Buddy Miles cover)
Recorded at MSG the night after Buddy Miles passed away in ‘08. This is far from my favorite version of the song, but 40 years later, these guys still sound pretty damn good.
Pearl Jam - Kick Out the Jams (MC5 cover)
I’m pretty much a sucker for any cover PJ does. This one’s from last month’s final show at MSG — one of the best live shows I’ve ever seen.
Mary Jane Hooper - I’ve Got What You Need
Some killer New Orleans funk. Sad that this woman only recorded 14 tracks before she basically disappeared in the late 60’s.

RIP Dennis Hopper
Warren Zevon - Night Time in the Switching Yard
This tune just came on and my 19 month old daughter went nuts.
The Faces - (I Know) I’m Losing You (Temptations cover)
Live from the BBC TV program “Sounds For Saturday: The Music of The Faces” (10/26/71). This has to be among the greatest covers ever recorded.

Eric B & Rakim - Microphone Fiend
Quite possibly the greatest rap song of all time.
Cool. I don’t get upset. I kick a hole in the speaker, pull the plug then I jet - back to the lab…
