Just listened to their live covers of the Dead's Casey Jones, Truckin, and Touch of Grey. They are a top notch band. Apparently, John Mayer has even sat in with them for some gigs.

Not really into tribute bands, but here's a couple of AC/DC ones that I know and love (because I never got enough of AC/DC live):

Big Gun Band (outta TN), play more newer stuff.


And luckily I have a great AC/DC band locally here in Virginia - For Those About To Rock. They know and play all the Bon Scott songs.

Uptown Girl - based in Avalon, CA.

They cover only 1980's Billy Joel songs.

Wasn't there a group that did Zeppelin songs reggae-style back in the 80s?

Kinda of a funky spin on one of my favorite bands.

Dread Zeppelin

I think I saw them on ebaum’s world or something. They were led by an Elvis impersonator. but it worked. There was legit talent beneath the parody.

Brown Sabbath

Nice. That's a good funk band, but somehow staying true to the metal arrangements. The percussion & horns are legit. Reminiscent of a New Orleans funk band like Galactic that will fuse in a little rock sometimes.

Brit Floyd may be better than the original.

They are damn good.

Of the ones I listed in my OP, the one I watch the most is Marc Martel (Freddie Mercury sound-alike). He was picked by Queen to lead their own Queen Tribute band and Marc’s voice was even used in the Bohemian Rhapsody movie.

Here is Marc teaming up with a Bowie sound-alike to do an uncanny rendition of Under Pressure.
