A thread of live cover versions.


Great cover of INXS. That was actually part of a series on that Australian tour. In each city he’d pick an Australian artist to cover.

INXS - Don’t Change
AC DC - Highway to Hell
The Easybeats - Friday on my Mind

And the one that was talked about the most was his interpretation of Stayin Alive. Barry Gibb tweeted “Dear Bruce @springsteen,  just been blown away by your Stayin Alive. You brought it back to life.Thank you!”

When does the playing become "other artists"?

I know there have been many discussion on the board on this, but if a bands lineup has become so diluted over they years to the point of maybe having only 1 or 2 original members remaining and no new original material being made for many years with the diluted lineup, don't they just become a cover band of themselves?

If the video clip's title didn't say "Neil Tennant" in it, you'd never be able to convince me that this was him. This happened yesterday. Neil joining Johnny Marr onstage for "Rebel Rebel."
