Joe frequently does covers. I usually hate people doing covers because it sounds like kereoke, with no originality at all...hence, no point. (Hence, Clapton with this particular song. Most overrated man in the business IMHO.) But Joe is a BIG exception. He makes cover songs his own, and they are sometimes better than the original. On this one he makes Todd look pretty good. And nothing against Todd. But he is no JJ. But, then again, who is?
Even if this was studio verson rather than live.....Eric Claptons version is far superior from The GH tribute, as is the version wth the Travelling Wllbury's with Georges son and Prince. Perhaps I am biased as I grew up in a 'Beatlemania 'household of Scousers n the 60's and 70's when George was considered the superior Beatle and independent after the split. I have tried to like this but simply cannot!
I am with you cpldmon!!...I absolutely am in love with Joe Jackson's music..Todd Rundgren isn't bad either..it's just Joe's voice moves me so much!! :)

@tarp11z "Hence, Clapton with this particular song. Most overrated man in the business IMHO."
I concur about Clapton's overrating, but i heard that he gives high complements to Todd's guitar playing.

As great as this video is, it pales to what it was like to see this live. Ethel tore up the solos.

Todd Rundgren and his entire "orchestra" don't compare to Joe Jackson on his own

Whatever Todd is suing on his skin should be sold. He's one of the old guys who looks good instead of used up. Amazing version!
