Gary Moore - Shapes Of Things, originally the Yardbirds. He kills it. My first exposure to the greatness that was Gary Moore the solo artist (Thin Lizzy dont count). I like the Yardbirds version too.
Van Halen - Pretty Woman originally Roy Orbison and You Got Me Going, originally by the Kinks, I'm going from memory, but doesn't Eruption precede this song on the album?
Jeff Beck - Goodbye Pork Pie Hat, originally Charles Mingus. Love both versions, Beck's version is outstanding.
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Little Wing, Voodoo Chile, Superstitious. Just really grooving versions of already great songs.
Allman Brothers - Come On Into My Kitchen, a great version of the old Robert Johnson song.
Robben Ford - Politician by Cream and Worried Life Blues by Big Maceo Merriweather. Two great covers, re imagined spectacularly by Ford.
This may not count, since he asked him to do it,
Arlo Guthrie - City of New Orleans, Steve Goodman wrote it and I've seen him perform it on YouTube, but Guthrie's version is the best.
