Some other covers I've heard him do:
"Red House" and "Spanish Castle Magic" (Jimi Hendrix)
"Best Of You" (Foo Fighters)
"Honky Tonk Women" (Rolling Stones)
"Johnny B. Goode" (Chuck Berry)
"Let's Go" (The Cars)
...and the guitar intro from "Rock Lobster" (B-52's)

vc40, Are these lists going to be put on PrinceVault? Or in Princepedia? It would be helpful.
