Phish - Gin and Juice isn't actually Phish. Hayseed Dixie does the one popularly thought to be Phish. As a non-fishhead, I don't know if maybe Fish did in fact cover G & J though.

actually as someone pointed out earlier in the thread the G & J cover that everyone loves is an Austin band called The Gourdes

Johny Cash - Sunday Morning Comming down
Willie Nelson - The entire Stardust album(my personal favorite is Blue Skies)
Wille Nelson and Merle Haggard - Poncho and Lefty
Led Zeppelin - Every Robert Johnson song they played (my personal favorite Traveling Riverside Blues)

Some really good old ones
Just My Imagination - Rolling Stones
Little Red Rooster - Rolling Stones
Crossroads - Cream
I Heard it Through The Grapevine - Credence Clearwater Revival
Summertime Blues - The Who (live at Leeds version is the best).
My Way - Sid Vicious
And I cannot beleive this hasn't been mentioned - though I guess many assume it was hers to begin with
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. - Aretha Franklin

And without a doubt the best cover is the one AKABUCK mentioned earlier

All Along The Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

Heard it Through the Grapevine - CCR
All Along the Watchtower - Jimi Hendrix

Feliciano did such a great job of re-doing Light My Fire that it's like a totally different song...

I used to be a big Phish fan, and downloaded this song off of Napster always thinking Phish did it (someone must've f'ed up with the naming). The Gourdes do sound alot like them though and Phish does cover some odd songs...
