I don't know if this is 'better' necessarily, but it was always one of my favorite flips..

I'm expanding this to more than jsut covers that are 'better'.

Dave covers Solsbury Hill pretty well. I've seen him do it live before, not this video, but if anyone can nail it it's him. And Carter murders that chorus too.

Sorry Paulie, I like the original by Peter Gabriel much better

Yeah that was where I expanded into more than just what I thought was "better". I don't think Dave's was better, but I've heard other covers of it and his was the only one that is worth listening to.

I like this more for just posting covers that are great, not necessarily better. You can change the thread title if you want.

He doesn't have a studio cut of that either so the only thing to go on is a video of him doing it at a show. That never really does it justice.

For a 7/8 time song I think they nailed it though.

 

[Paulie]

My bad it's 7/4. I wasn't counting quarters.

I just hooked up the laptop to the surround sound system, and my 14th month old was dancing to that one

Looked like chunk doing the truffle shuffle.
