I don't think I have any recordings of it, but my favorite S&G cover, (well, actually a S cover), was a band I was in back in 1989 that did Late in the Evening.

Bill, tgo

Whoa.
I saw the name Disturbed & the dude's pic on YT & said Nah - don't think so...
Saw your link and decided to have my hand on the Back button while I gave it a second.
Holey moley, that puts boot to buttocks! Still like the Bangles better, but man, that cat's got pipes!

Peter, Disturbed is an appropriate name for this band, his vocals are disturbingly haunting, but like a car wreck, you just can't turn away from them!

Thanks Andy for the link, Peter for the endorsement and Rusty for the teaser.

What a vocal range?!?!?!

I'll be Googling for the rest of the day.

Yep, that DISTURBED version was really solid.
The delivery really makes the songs message stand out well.

The bassist on only living boy and many others for S and G was Joe Osborne - great and creative player. You'll have to listen to a lot of covers before you're finding a bass player s good as the original.

Cool thread. I'd say Yes' America is first to come to mind. I actually never herd S&G's version until at least 10 to 20 years after the Yes version. In fact, I think it is one of their best jamming songs. Chris and Bill are so inter twinned and Steve Howe is rocking it in 4/4 like never before.

Here's a new cover by a very talented guitarist from Atlanta Ede Wright. Been wanting to see him for some time now. Road trip???
