I'd say just about the entire album Encomium, which was a tribute to Led Zepplin.
Here's a take from it, but the sound is pretty bad. The album however, is great, and some folks did some truly amazing covers. Sorry if they have been mentioned before, I haven't read the entire thread.

Speaking of Encomium, one of the best tracks recorded for it didn't make on the album, though it apparently got a fair amount of radio play, at least in the LA market, back in the day.
I think the first song I ever heard by Kevin Gilbert was this cover, however.

Thanks for the reminder about Encomium. I listened to it once at a friends house a few years back. There is some nice work on it. This is the first I'm hearing of Kevin Gilbert, EDE. He's got some talent.

Long ago, before Rod Stewart became a schlock-meister, he was, among other things, a remarkably good interpreter of other people's songs. He did many Bob Dylan covers, and this is my favorite, "Tomorrow Is Such A Long Time"

Cleome, the Shirley Horn performance is beautiful. It's hard to find words for it.
Outdoor Miner, I love Fairport Convention on Dylan. Here's another favorite Dylan cover of mine. The recorded version starts out much stronger, but Sophie lets it build up during this live performance.
