I actually asked Cockburn that very question at a meet and greet after the show a few months ago. He said that he was happy with Jimmy's version because he felt it was true to the original song and "respectful".
Here's a great version of pacing the cage that I recorded from the first row.

Did John Hiatt write "The Tiki Bar is Open"? If so, that would "fit" in this topic. (Again, I'm at work at can't look up videos) [smilie=battingeyes.gif]

Another version of Will Kimrough doing "Wings" which includes a nice shout out to Buffett during the intro.

Bob Dylan - Blowing In The Wind

I didn't see this one posted earlier. Couldn't find a great video of it either.
