The Great White cover is great....forgot about that one. I thought they did a great job of "Substitute" as well.

VH's version of "Dancing In The Streets" is great. My favorite version of that song

The Gary Moore song is not a cover....he wrote that. He does
use some traditional Irish melodies in it and the lyrical theme
is fairly common in Irish folklore...but still Gary's lyrics.

"You're So Vain" Faster Pussycat

You know Funky...you're right! I may not have seen any reason why they covered "Tush"(I just didn't think it was necessary) That's like Alice Cooper covering "Start Me Up "live.

Other than that, I love all their covers especially "Cocaine"!
They really made that their own(cool & different version)
Same with "Love Hurts", "I Want to Everything For You", & "Shapes of Things".

I thought they did a great job on "Big Boy" too. That song was originally done by the Sensational Alex Harvey Band from an album called 'Fourplay'. Guitarist Zal Clemenson was in that band prior to joining Nazareth (He dressed as a mime in the Sensational Alex Harvey Band). That 'Fourplay' album was actually the S.A.H.B. w/out Alex Harvey (who was injured at the time of recording)

I like I am the Walrus by Spooky Tooth
