Greetings to all!
For all the classic rock fans out there, we know that there are many local (some national) cover groups that really rock the house. Some, in my opinion, sound better than the original!
So I put forth this question: Who's the best cover band you've seen or heard? Here are my picks:
1. Rain -- the best Beatles tribute, bar none.
2. Dread Zeppelin -- Elvis meets Led Zeppelin? Oh yeah!
3. AC/DShe -- all females, they rock!
4. Illeagles -- These guys are way more fun to see live than the Eagles (which, by the way, can now be translated to "Don Henley and company")
5. Who Too -- If you want to hear Who music live, skip Pete and Roger and look up this fantastic cover band!
Can anyone think of any others?

Dread Zeppelin is a fabulous concept, much like Mac Sabbath (although they’re more parody than tribute/cover).
There are a couple of AC/DC tribute bands who have lead singers who sound exactly like Bon Scott! (I’m not a big AC/DC fan, but the stuff of theirs I do like is from the Bon Scott era.)

I saw Dread Zeppelin a number of years back. It was a lot of fun.
I'm not so much a fan of those who try to mimic the original, I prefer to see bands who put a bit of their own style behind the music. That's what I admire about Dread Zeppelin. It's fun, original, unique and creative.

@jessenr88 — I almost went to see Mac Sabbath with my putting coach, but he had a work commitment and we couldn’t go.

@jessenr88 — BTW, I’m a huge Eagles fan, and I totally agree with your assessment of them now, “Don Henley and Friends.”

I'm glad you like those covers.
I don't pay attention to covers.

In my opinion, cover acts can be just as much fun to see as the real deal. Especially since the cover bands usually play small clubs as opposed to stadiums. That's the way I see it anyway, but I respect your opinion too.
