Not a complete cover because of Strange Glue in the middle but I fucking love this.
The outstanding version of ‘And the band played Waltzing Matilda’ by The Pogues

Nick Cave takes on a Velvets classic. The high point of his wonderful album of covers - Kicking against the Pricks

Metallica cover of Belfast band Sweet Savage’s Killing time. They did a remarkable performance of this in Marlay Park last year.
