I recall a delightful evening in Norfolk, VA when some fellow friends and I went swaggering into a club to see a rejuvenated rock n roll band. Freshly reformed and rehearsed, the Black Crowes played a handful of covers over their two (?) sets. One of those covers was "Fearless," a song that I knew quite well at the time. Though the original version is quite rhythmic, it's tame due to it's acoustic production. Hearing it fleshed and attacked, overdriven by electric guitars made a lot of sense. Sadly, the crowd on hand couldn't replicate the overdubbed field recording of "You Never Walk Alone" chanted by fans at a Liverpool F.C. match.
Meddle also contains a song that has made it's way on to as many J Seger mixes as any other song, "San Tropez."
