    Hard to say this is "better" than Marvin Gaye's original, but it is sufficiently different with Leslie West sitting in on guitar and a restrained Moon still being ridiculous to fit in this thread. (Also, I think it's much better than The Band's cover even though that gets more pub due to The Last Waltz.)
