Favorite cover?

As a (minor) film buff, I almost invariably prefer originals. But when it comes to audio, I  have found more than a few covers that I prefer to the originals. So, to kick things off, and with all due respect to Boz Scaggs, I absolutely LOVE this live Incognito version of Lowdown:

Yes, his version of Wonderwall is terrific.  It is too bad he has fallen into the persona non grata classification of artists.

There are a lot of covers I really like, but, not necessarily more than the originals, for example: Garcia/Grisman-"Friend of the Devil."
