Joe's version of The Box Tops hit.

This doesn't smash Fleetwood Mac's original, but is still a good attempt by Judas Priest to put their stamp on it, I like both versions.

I love this thread. it made me go back and search for covers I've only just remembered and suddenly you unearth some real gems, like this one for example. I remember the original by The Boxtops and Joe Cockers version back in the early 70's but this live version by Joe must have been recorded...
