Led Zeppelin used to add Scott McKenzie's song to their on-stage medleys, changing the lyrics: "You're gonna meet a lot of devil people there" instead of "gentle people."

Speaking of Jools Holland I love this George Harrison cover with Sam Brown:
"The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways. The point, however, is to change it." Karl Marx
"He would, wouldn't he?" Mandy Rice-Davies. When asked in court whether she knew that Lord Astor had denied having sex with her.
“I think it would be a good idea” Ghandi, when asked about Western Civilisation.

Here's two great San Francisco bands from another era covering the Rolling Stones, and Dylan.
