This probably doesn't count, but Hackett does play on it. It is reworking and not a cover.

in 99% of the cases, anyways    The Spirit 13th Dream album is very disappointing, but maybe the more successfull example

Emerson, Lake & Palmer's 15 minute studio version of Pictures at an Exhibition recorded in stunning Dolby Surround Sound from Return of the Manticore in 1993 is arguably superior to the original live version. (It's also available as a bonus item on the otherwise execrable In the Hot Seat. Yes, the one that needed flushing afterwards)

The why was because he now had a solo career, so he wanted to do the tune to fit his current 'sound'. The huge difference is certainly the production of the song, and I really prefer the original 1972 Barnstorm version. It has such raw guitar sounds that just eat up my speakers. I love it. The 1974 So What version is a little sterile even though it shows the performance to be better. Good Pick !

This is one I never understood why there is two versions (I'm sure there's a good reason). I like both equally.

I like the 1999 version of the song.

I would guess it's more ruined than resurrected.

That Chicago remake is hard to take. I at least appreciate that it’s different enough to have a reason to exist, but they really overdid the drums/pop metal guitars to the point of parody. I won’t go so far as to say it’s ruined (its positive aspects survive the production), but it’s close.
Here’s a remake that fares a little better. Spirit reformed in the 80s and re-recorded their most popular songs & added a couple of new ones. This version rocks pretty well I think, though I still prefer the original. |

I don't know if this counts or not, but Jon Anderson kind of ruined this Yes song.

Just because I heard this for the first time last week:
In regards to your post, I don't recall having any issues with the newer recording, but will give it another listen from this context.

Here is an original version of a song I'm sure pretty much everyone is familiar with. Followed by an updated version to fit the era it was recorded in. Was it ruined or was it resurrected? What other tunes do you know of that have been 'Redone' by their original band. (and original doesn't need to mean all original members, just no cover versions). Chicago - 25 Or 6 To 4 (1970) Chicago - 25 Or 6 To 4 (1986) |
