#5: Slippery When Wet

Another night, another gig, another clutch of Shoplifters-approved quality covers.

Eels mainman E lifted the roof off the Bridgewater Hall tonight with a setlist of 20+ tracks from their back catalogue. And in amongst 15 years of tunes E and his sparring partner The Chet rolled out Led Zep's 'Good Times, Bad Times' and Dylan's 'Girl From The North Country' with breathtaking results.

Have a listen to the latter and the band's cover of 'Falling In Love' from the recent 'Best Of & Useless Trinkets' retrospective.

MP3 Eels - Girl From The North Country (Bob Dylan Cover)
MP3 Eels - Can't Help Falling In Love (Elvis Cover)

Hold steady,
