New Cover Song Options

[soccerbock]

This is my first time posting anything but the show last night up in Milwaukee in Summerfest still has me feeling good even after a good night's sleep. The band sounded wonderful last night, the best I've heard since the Riviera in Chicago back in November of 1999.

They played a cover by someone whose name I didn't catch but it was called "God Don't Ever Change". A great, driving blues rock song with some great lines from Chad on the guitar. Did anybody catch the artists name who originally wrote the song? If you were there, what did you think of the song? I thought it was great choice to spice up the setlist.

The song was a cover of a "Blind Willie Johnson" song. I was floored by the song....in fact, I forced myself to burn the name into my memory so I could read up on 'ol Blind Willie today. It was a freaking kick ass song - I really wanted to hear the original to see how much they changed it.

When Ed said they had only played the song twice in front of "real people," I was expecting something along the lines of Supernatural, another cover they like to play in concert. But this thing freaking rocked! I really don't know what to compare it to in terms of a LIVE song, but the way they ripped through it reminded me of White, Discussion. Halfway through the song, Ed says "so what do you think so far?" with a big smile on his face. He knew the answer.

Anyway, I would kill for a recording of it. I know this is the place to ask, so I will - any chance anyone can get their hands on a recording from last night in Milwaukee?
