Twist and Shout - by The Isley Brothers (Original was by The Top Notes). Train Kept A Rollin' - by Aerosmith, based on The Yardbirds cover, based on Johnny Burnett cover, original by Tiny Bradshaw.

Maybe not better than Fleetwood Mac but certainly a cracking live cover in my opinion. Harry Styles (yes, he of One Direction and Dunkirk) performs "The Chain" on BBC's Radio One in circa 2017 (the guitar almost vies in nastiness with that on Lennon's "Well Well Well"): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Radio_1%27s_Live_Lounge_2017

I'm gonna throw up 'The House Song' by Peter, Paul and Mary from 1967.
This particular song and performance does nothing for me at all.... It sounds unfinished and poorly produced to me.
This version by Waylon Jennings from his 1971 'Cedartown Georgia' album, totally reinvents the song to another level.

Interesting! As someone who has never "got" country music, I have to opt for the original, although I'm by no means a PP&M fan.

That's the great thing about threads like this one. As with the "1966" and "What are you listening to now?" threads (so say nothing of "covers of BB songs"), this one breaks down the boundaries (or maybe acts as a bridge) between the two sections of the forum (BB and general music).

Humble Pie’s raw and emotive cover of the Yardbirds classic For You Love is a favorite cover of mine. Steve Marriott’s expressive voice is especially moving. Great call and response between Marriott and Peter Frampton at about 7:10. Also, I really dig Greg Ridley’s solid bass and Jerry Shirley’s fluid hand drumming.

It gives the sectionalized (if that's a word) Yardbirds song a real sense of flow. Thanks for sharing, cacc. I recall the whole idea of supergroups began with this band and Blind Faith. I never kept up with Humble Pie after "Natural Born Bugie". I think I must have been too enamoured of Small Faces (the same holds for Bad Company and Free). Poor Steve Marriott had one of the finest voices in all UK pop (the same still holds for Paul Rodgers).

Here's another I feel a little embarrassed about forgetting! It's Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks' blistering take on Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love?" Robbie Robertson's slashing guitar and Ronnie H's blood-curdling screams, to say nothing of a stomping rhythm section, take Bo's song to another level: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who_Do_You_Love%3F_(Bo_Diddley_song)
