Topic: Prog Rock Covers Posted: September 14 2016 at 09:54 |
Thought we could share and discuss Covers for or by Prog bands For instance King crimson's Heroes cover for bowie is a good example or this live solo of "free as a bird": Thought it was cool, Also i know Zappa does some stuff mainly on his live shows, though usually its pretty sarcastic Like stairway to heaven, happy together.. Spock's Beard did Genesis's Squonk on one of their lives.. Anyways looking for that sort of thing - either covers by prog artists or tributes to prog classics Edited by Phailman - September 14 2016 at 10:01 |

Well, RPWL started out as a Pink Floud cover band.
Then they created their own sound, but still played Pink Floyd-covers live. Recently they even played a full concert of Pink Floyd songs. Here's on of the hundred Pink Floyd-covers they did throughout their career |

One of the very best is Yes' cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "America". Howe absolutely shreds on this one.
Dutch crossover group Zoo did a Beatles medley called "Dedicated To You All": Gryphon did a gorgeous cover of another Beatles tune, "Mother Nature's Son": As for prog covers of songs that were originally written as prog songs, Landberk did a cover of T2's "No More White Horses": And, back to the Beatles, apparently Bubu used to do live prog renditions of Eleanor Rigby back with their 70's lineup.

I guess it's also worth mentioning prog cover bands, like The Australian Pink Floyd and The Musical Box.

Glass Hammer's cover of Dan Fogelberg's Longer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZOl4vQ8W1W0 My vote for greatest prog cover has to be Manfred Mann's cover of Springsteen's Blinded by the Light.

One of my favorite prog covers: RPWL covering Bob Dylan's "Masters of War," as though it were an out-take from Pink Floyd's Momentary Lapse of Reason. Edited by jude111 - September 14 2016 at 12:11 |

Ooh there's plenty, plenty out there.
Many of the musicians who feature on these pages have done covers of other musicians' songs (in the studio or live)--from Yes doing The Beatles' "Every Little Thing" on their first album to Adrian Belew doing, erm, well, The Beatles' "I'm Down." Bands like The Residents have a huge back catalog of extreme covers, most famously perhaps their version of The Stones' "Satisfaction" (but they've also done Sun Ra, The Monkees, Elvis, Hank Williams, Sousa, James Brown, George Gershwin . . .). Fellow weirdo Nash the Slash did great covers of "19th Nervous Breakdown," "Dead Man's Curve" and "Smoke on the Water" (as "Dopes on the Water"). So here's an awkward/dumb/radical question: Does Egg doing Bach's Fugue in D Minor count as a cover? How about ELP's Pictures (and "The Barbarian" and "Knife's Edge" and and and)? But if we mean other groups covering prog rock songs . . . that's a whole other game.

The best cover I've heard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U49cwM7b1Wk Ok, it's got Hackett in it, but the combination of Longdon and Booth's vocals is mesmerising. |

I entirely agree with Magnum Vaeltaja: YES cover from "America" is one of great moments in prog covers, and one of most fantastic cover of BEATLES "Eleanor Rigby" was made by a Brazilian band " A Cor do Som" in their album "A Cor do Som ao Vivo in Mountreux" 1978 with arrangement mixing jazz and a Brazilian rhythm called frevo !
