Re: Covers you would love to hear Joe do

Outlaw / Riot

Loving the tones and the down below the border on the run feel

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nI_tDv5MBso       Frickin' Superb


Here's The Lyrics ......

Down below the border,
He robbed a bank in Mexico.
Half crazed on tequila,
He had a, half million in gold.
There's thunder in the ground,
And he could hear the sound.

A showdown in the distance,
They're gonna ride him down.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
When he gambled with women,
He kept an ace up his sleeve.
He always got what he came for,
He never played it clean.
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/GhmB ]
Then he was blinded by passion,
Playing a game of fools.
Thought she was lucky,
Thought she was his best bet,
Guess you find out when you lose.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.

Re: Covers you would love to hear Joe do

If he were in the mood for an instrumental to bring down the house, I would suggest "Courage" by Mason Ruffner.  Soaring notes, a couple of good runs, Bogey would enjoy.

Bogie may enjoy listening to it on YouTube at home as much as I might.  An interesting suggestion, but alas, I regret I have to inform you Bogie is no longer in the band, by his own choosing. Thanks!

Re: Covers you would love to hear Joe do

It has been mentioned before but Robin Trowers Bridge of Sighs would be a great cover by Joe.

If you dont Know it give it a listen it's well worth it.

Re: Covers you would love to hear Joe do

Stranglehold  by Ted Nugent ..... This derserves to be given the JB Gloss and has that spacial tone to let Joe own this, Ted would smile too

Maggot Brain by Funkadelic ..... should've been a classic, one of those gems from the vaults

Le Mitard by Trust ..... back around You and Me era Joe was toying with the idea of singing one song in French, guess that was Vous et Mois .... Le Mitard his Holy Schmoly Riffing and there is a French/english translation .... what a glorious Rock Song

or how about "I Ain't Superstitious" (Jeff Beck)  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YxpDEpngko

Wow, love Bridge of Sighs. It would indeed be interesting to see what Joe would do with it.

I'd like to hear what he'd do with Smokestack Lightning by Howlin' Wolf.

Re: Covers you would love to hear Joe do

On a whim I picked up Uriah Heep's "Demon's & Wizards" a few years ago and it's been on constant rotation since on my ipod & stereo.  I think Joe would do a killer cover of "Traveller in Time":

Re: Covers you would love to hear Joe do

I saw Bridge of Sighs and Stranglehold.

I'm not sure.  Those are just too awesome for me with their own flavor.  I don't need to see those covered.  They are too perfect for me.  And opposed to what many of here think, you'd be hard pressed to touch the vocals in those songs.
2 of the best vocalists with 2 of the best guitarists.  It would have to have a new twist.

"Holy Toledo"  -  Bill King   "Just Win Baby" - Al Davis  "The Autumn Wind" - Steve Sabol

Total agreement River Cat! I/We could probably pick apart so many of those put forth here for the exact reasons you express. 
Don't list the perfect ones.  To me that just means a person has ascended Joe's abilities and talents to the reverence they hold for the "perfect" cover, essentially, something "like this" I believe many really mean (could be very wrong though). Why risk injustice? He historically likes obscure, off the beaten path covers for the most part anyways.

Rocket

I'd love to hear Joe do a cover of one of my favourite Rory Gallagher tracks.

Ghost Blues.
