Also, I forgot to add Big Yellow Taxi to the list. LB recorded a version of the Joni Mitchell classic for a tribute album (later released, but without the LB version).

LB also covered the George Harrison classic Here Comes the Sun for a New Years special the year Harrison died. He gave it the "Big Love" treatment. The producers did not care for the LB interpretation and they asked him to change it or they were going to pull it. Reportedly, LB threw his guitar across the hotel room. The producers backed down and let LB perform his interpretation live. If you look closely at the video, you can see a hole in his guitar.

Right! Big Yellow Taxi.

ETA: I no longer have Big Yellow Taxi. Where do these mp3s go?

And was Here Comes the Sun ever recorded in the studio? or good live version of it?

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
