OK, this is a bit of a cheat because it's Sara's song, but holy shit Rufus!

 

I've listened to this song damned near every day since I accidentally saw it on PBS a few weeks ago.  Never been a huge Rufus fan, but jesus christ this is spectacular.

It's quite literally one of the greatest pop vocal performances I've ever heard.  I'd put it up there with kd lang at the Olympics, among others.  Just astonishing.

Pearl jam does a cover of “it’s ok” during their shows sometimes. PJ are capitalists so they make you go to youtube to watch it.

Wow.  This is as good as anything I can recall.  Fantastic.

This is probably old news for you music buffs and guys that really follow live performances, but I heard a version of Born in the USA by Bruce tonight on Sirius that blew me away.

Obviously the original is not the flag waving nationalistic song that some dipshits pretend it to be, but this was the first time I'd ever heard it performed in a way that matches the tone of the lyrics.

The version I heard was from a live performance from 1996 in Belfast. I couldn't find that exact version on the Googles, but this one is close enough.

Neither of these have been posted. First two I thought of.

Sweet Jane in particular. Love this version.

 

 

Doing anything better than prince is saying something but Snead kills that song and owns the best version for sure.

I think the main thing that she did was realize that it could be a hit. It was part of a throwaway side-project of Prince's that I'm not sure he ever expected to gain traction. 

Digging shit up like that and reimagining it takes talent. 

Cornell's version is also great.

Cornell's version was posted twice before which prompted me to post Sinead's. Don't blame you because I wouldn't go through 10 pages to check.

Except I did. I really need a social life.

Nah, you just wanted to be first. That’s admirable.
