Cocteau Twins (This Mortal Coil) - Song to the Siren

http://www.youtube.c...h?v=4mUmdR69nbM

I saw Robert Plant do this at Glastonbury as a tribute to John Entwistle who had recently died and just wow. I had to drag Zoe to the acoustic tent to see Robert Plant but she was in tears after that song.

One of the few songs he has been bettered at but still a work of genius.

I own the DVD of the entire gig, 'Total Balalaika Show'. The above is probably the highlight, but there's plenty of other great songs on there too.

This is one of my favourite bands of all time, Groundation, covering No Woman No Cry live. I think this is absolutely ace, given how many bands have annihilated this tune.
