Somebody already mentioned Umphrey’s McGee, but I can’t believe nobody has mentioned the Brain Damaged Eggmen — their combo with Bisco.

dirty funk jams Beatles tunes = boom-shaka-lacka

Jake Shimabukuro absolutely tearing a fucking hole in “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” … on UKELELE, no less.

Work won’t let me open the YouTube, but do a search for ukelele and while my guitar. Perpare to be amazed. It should be on this list.

U-melt does an excellent cover of Tomorrow Never Knows. IMO their “bust out” with that song, if you will, was from their performance at Summercamp in ‘07 where Chuck Garvey from moe. joined them. Great call and answer jam between Rob Salzar and Chuck. I’m still waiting for a recording of that to surface.

I’m definitely a fan of the Grateful Dead’s version of Rain

I was a big fan of the “She Said She Said” with Phil and Friends sung by Warren
-plus I believe the song was a recounting of an acid trip, so its got that going for it.

I haven’t listened lately, but there’s the Trey Band doing the second side of Abby Road at Bonnaroo

Brendan’s voice seems to handle Beatles songs quite well (see I’ve Got a Feeling). Also, I have always been a fan of Umphrey’s take on The Fussy Dutchman > Tomorrow Never Knows (04.03.01, for example). One other example is 11.30.01 with their acknowledgment of George Harrison’s passing throughout the show.
