Heard this with a friend in the past year and his immediate reaction/question/statement was whether this was the best cover ever?

Saw this yesterday on Willie Nelson's, 'Outlaw Tour'

 

Billy Strings and band were absolute monsters- this is an older show, so look up Cascades if you want to see the show I saw- this just has better video:

SRV at Ausitn City Limits.

 

I was lucky to have seen him once, he played EXACTLY as advertised.

 

My 2 favorite SRV songs are Look at Little Sister and Pride and Joy.

 

Can't be beat.

for story sake I will share that Yes I saw SRV once. It was at red rocks amphitheater and it was as iconic a day of blues artists in one place as you will ever find. I'll look for a link. It was as awesome as experience as it sounds. and unfortunately it was where later on that same tour he passed away in a tragic accident ;-(

 

found it

This being from the Who’ “Tommy” movie not sure it’s considered a cover:

 

I took Tina Turner’s characters advice to see it when it came out in the mid ‘70’s…..it was an experience.
