It had better be good, and it totally is.

Re: Great Cover Versions
I don't think this was ever released as a single but its a magnificent cover and superb tribute to Led Zeppelin who show their approval.

Re: Great Cover Versions
The Kennedy Centre Honors is a prime source of out of this world covers, here are just a few.
John takes a couple of minutes to warm his voice up but really soar's in line with the wonderful horn arrangement after that.
Aretha singing Carol King to Carol King, who seems pleased, exquisite rendition.
Plus:-
Elvis Costello saluting his fellow scouse, Paul McCartney with a blinding rendition of Penny Lane. Costello is a fine musician and gifted vocalist which often gets overlooked for his song writing. I've done a bit in my time and can assert here that Penny Lane is a very difficult song to sing.

Re: Great Cover Versions
Probably my favourite song of all time given the post modern treatment. Decent job too.
