@atiawat Steve Cropper the guy in the background playing guitar is the one who wrote the song for Otis Redding. He also played with Booker T and the MG's and wrote Green Onions.

Man, some of you people are totally internet-handicapped. "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was co-written by Steve Cropper and Otis Redding, hence Eddie saying it is an honor to "play one of his songs with him here tonight." Sheesh.

best coverversion EVER !

Hear the crowd cheer when they start the song. All great bands could sing this because the song is so great.

Very happy to see Steve Cropper is on this track. I had heard it before, but knew nothing about it. I just knew that Eddie was a big Neil Young fan and I had a terrible lingering thought that Eddie thought that Dock of the Bay was a Neil Young original (because of course, Neil covered it too). It seemed a little more probable that Eddie would be playing with Neil than Otis Redding (who I believe has been dead for all of Eddie's life). Didn't realize Cropper had writing credits to the song.

@clavedesol85 I couldnt have said it better myself

This is the perfect definition of the difference between a cover and a tribute.

@atiawat Actually Otis Redding co-wrote this song. Steve Cropper was the other co-writer. That would be the guy playing guitar here.
