One word: Wow. Here's video of Via Dove killing the Rolling Stones' "Brown Sugar" and "Bitch" -- the latter featuring Jimmy Griffin on guitar -- on Friday night's version of An Under Cover Weekend at the Firebird. Who else slayed this weekend?
What a fun night!
Here's another video of "Miss You" featuring a great dueling solo from Jimmy Griffin on guitar and Monaj Mohan on sax.

We went out on night 2 and really enjoyed everyone that night as well. Dive Poets as the Coug had the whole place singing along!
I got more video of other bands doing other stuff, but the one on top is my favorite.
I still haven't made it through Left Arm's Ramones set and edited it down, but as soon as i do, you will know.
Echo Bravo as Nirvana doing "Breed" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5hr-LWEnlk
the Orbz as the Pixies doing "Hey" :

i gotta both nights every band killed. on sat night especially the highlights for me were the sham/tears for fears, the dive poets/john "cougar" mellancamp and fattback as the talking heads. they were incredible as well!
Oh wow, I really wanted to go last night just to see them be the Stones. I never heard of Via Dove before I heard of the concert but from the looks of it they have a pretty darn good career ahead of them as a Rolling Stones tribute band if their original stuff doesn't work.
