It's kind of funny when a cover sounds better to you then the original. Suspicious minds is definitely one...

I agree with the Elvis comments and would put The band in that catagory as well. Some songs are just so classic that, although the cover is amazing nobody can really outdo the original. MMJ does an incredible job covering songs, but not every cover is better than the original.

what he said.
this song probably shouldn't even be ALLOWED to be covered, but MMJ gets a pass since....well...they're MMJ
The Way I see it, is it combines everything i love about The Band, and everything I love about MMJ, and just becomes everything I love about music. :)

I love their cover of rocketman! that was the first one I heard actually and I couldn't stop listening to it. They absolutely do an amazing job covering songs and when I see them at some point I hope they play some. I've never bean to any of their shows unfortunately so I really don't know which covers they like playing live.
It changes all the time, check out these two shows for some great covers.

This is kinda off topic probably but I just wanted to see what other people thought about it, I would love to see My Morning Jacket do a cover of "Pure Imagination" from Willy Wonka. I think it's something they might would do and I think they would just blow it out of the water.
Bring It On Home To Me (from New Years '08) just came up in my iTunes...man would it be cool if they pulled that out again while the horns are still around!! For anyone who hasn't heard it, here you go
