Yeah, I figured you know the deets regarding "Going Down" et. al. The Jeff Beck Group cites the Alabama State Trouper arrangement (and King sounds like he does that version for that matter too) over the Moloch original. I started thinking of this song recently because I'm going to the big Jeff Beck gig in Toronto on August 1st, and I've checked the tour set lists and "Going Down" gets played at almost every concert. 

Nice! Enjoy the show. I didn't even realize he was coming around, man I'm really of the loop now-a-days. Agreed, I figured the same thing about King and that version, he (like Beck too) has that same 'driving' (not car) energy to it, that really gets me moving, & energized. I'd had love to see Freddie King live, just once. 

Nice. I have a copy of their one album (self titled) I found on a blog years ago. King covered a few Moloch tunes.

Great song, but for me King holds all the cards when it comes to my favourite version. Becks is great too, but King's energy, and vocals simply give me shivers and hit me like no other version. 

Also should be noted that while Moloch was the first to release it, it was Don Nix who actually wrote the song, and later (1972) released it as a single. So, it fits this thread as a cover of sorts.

Don Nix version - with his band 'The Alabama State Troupers'  (w/ Furry Lewis even!)

Still listening to these folks.

I hadnt watched the King of the Teles in a while Esau. That is so fucking sweet. It's pretty much impossible to top that number. If there were a scorecard I would put my vote on you as the winner for 'Best Pick" in this thread but my bias is that I am already all in with Roy Buchanan doing Hey Joe. 

Roy just blows me away..

Another favourite..

So I told the gal I'm seeing I wanted to go to Ottawa for this. First question I was asked: "is there a night ranger cover playing? I started to laugh, she didn't. I'm really not sure if she's serious.

Well it's official: I'm oblivious to francophone sarcasm.

I hear they just added DSO.  

Now who's going?

 Considering I won't drive 35 mins east to see them, that wouldn't sweeten the deal. But as mentioned, if Ana is actually into checking this out, I'd go. Otherwise, it'll be two weeks in Varennes.

Were you serious?

Yes and no. I'd love to make a journey to Ottawa and see friends, plus she's originally from Montreal and keeps talking how we should go there this summer. Dates of the fest fit the time frame and since she listens to a lot of those bands, and if into it, then sure why not. Musically we're not in the same boat though.

This is exactly the type of event my bottle of everclear has been waiting for.

Hey hey. Hope life's been treating you well.
