Fun [YouTube] Post music clips from YouTube featuring unexpected duets / covers

Wel, the title ought to pretty much explain it. This was inspired by David Bowie's turn on Arnold Layne and Comfortably Numb at David Gilmour's concert last week.

So, to kick things off;

Tom Petty and Axl Rose, "Free Falling"

Aerosmith with Jimmy Page, John-Paul Jones & Robert Plant, "Bring it on home"

Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jeff Healey, "Look at Little Sister"

Bruce Springsteen with Bono, "Because the Night"

Coldplay with Noel Gallagher, "Live Forever"

Paul Simon & George Harrison, "Homeward Bound", Here Comes The Sun"


Please, post more!

Roger Waters and Eric Clapton. "Wish You Were Here"

Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Steve Winwood, Charlie Watts, Bill Wyman... "Layla"

 

Joe Satriani, Steve Vai and Yngwie do Little Wing

 

Not really unexpected, but

Billy Preston and Eric Clapton performing "Will It Go 'Round in Circles?"

Derek and the Dominos, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins

John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Mitch Mitchell performing "Yer Blues."


Oh, and I love how Jimmy Page is high out of his mind yet still manages to play the "Layla" riff.

 

To be fair, Allmann & Clapton were high out of their minds when they wrote it...

That Perkins, Clapton, Cash clip is magic! Thanks.

 

Saerah beat me to it.

 

George Harrison, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Elton John, and Phil Collins performing "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"

 

Tori Amos + Michael Stipe = Never-released track, "It Might Hurt a Bit"

R.E.M and U2, "One"

Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison, Prince (amazing solo) etc, "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"


ROy Orbison and Johnny Cash, "Oh, Pretty Woman

 

What about William Shatner singing Rocket Man? I don't think it's on You Tube,but it's pretty easy to find on the web,along with the Family Guy parody with Stewie mimicking his performance.

 

Think again.

Stevie Ray Vaughan playing "Voodoo Child (slight return)"

Vaughan and his brother playing the same double-neck guitar.

 

Great idea for a thread, jp.

Looks like Tim Renwick.

I wouldn't class Clapton "Cocaine" or Hendrix "Hey Joe" as unexpected covers.


Gabe, great list, off to check some out now.

Edit: That Gilmour solo on the Purple Rain cover!

 

Man, Jeff Beck did some unexpected things in that phenominal A Day In The Life Beatles cover!

Only slightly less horrifying than Elton with Pete Doherty at Live 8.

 

That's not horrifying, this is horrifying... and wrong, so very wrong.
