Best cover version of the weekend

[budvar]

I always raise this topic to find out what I missed out on (I love a good cover version).

For me it was Nightcall by London Grammar. I know it's a standard part of their set but it really is quite something.

Nice hearing a bit of Queen from the Foos too.

More randomly the Ambling Band (?) played the Tetris music in the T&C field - took me a while to work out what it was!

Say A Little Prayer - Lianna La Havas

Does Loud Places count?

[Rumblestripe]

Most fun was probably Scouting For Girls doing "Living on a Prayer"

[Adystar]

Declan McKenna doing monkey gone to heaven by the pixies. Great cover by a young lad with a lot of talent

Was about to say that. Couldn't get in the tent but sounded great still. What a voice.

Quite enjoyed his random guest slot with Maggie Rogers doing "Wannabe"

First aid kit- the gambler

Get Lucky

Didn't see a lot of covers but off the top of my head it'd be Whitney's version of 'Magnet' by NRBQ. Don't really know the original but I've seen them doing it before on video and it's cracking.

I don't know if I thought it was the best, but I had great fun dancing to this in Leftfield. Great choice of song.

Wayne Coyne (Flaming Lips) singing Space Oddity, while zorbing over the crowd. He wins.

Another vote for First Aid Kit doing Kenny Rogers - The Gambler.

 

They could have covered Aqua - Barbie Girl and I would have loved it after the performance they gave to be honest.

Liam doing don't look back in anger. Surprisingly good!

 The 45s, cover band on the summer house Sunday night, bloody brilliant 60's covers and great banter, fantastic way to end the festival.

its not all about the big guys.

Agreed on First Aid Kit and Flaming Lips.

Cut Capers did a great version of No Diggity on Thursday night.

Barry Gibb's Boyzone cover too.

[dannybrothers]

First Aid Kit - The Gambler for me too, though did love the Foos' Under Pressure.

[jparx]

Whichever brass band was on the Truth stage around midnight on Thursday. They ended with a medley of Sean Paul tunes and it was mega. 

[vintagelaureate]

The whole 'Rhythm of the 90s' set!

Given he played it by himself on the maracas, I was impressed. Suspected it was to avoid paying his brother royalties...

Someone made that joke on Twitter - fair to say a few didn't understand the joke, even when it was explained to them.
