Songs redone better than the original?

This is recent, but shockingly well covered. I’m betting this young lady has a future in the biz

There maybe some who can sing & play it technically better, but the stage performance is not the same.

After the lovers -Stevie & Lindsay's breakup, Lindsay wrote this song.
At the beginning of the song you see both of them looking at each other.
And the emotions amps up, with Lindsay's guitar playing.

The dynamic visually plays out, as Lindsay moves to the other side of the stage, Stevie will then move to the opposite side. Breakups cause tension and distance. Therefore other bands will not replicate the same real drama on their stage, as Fleetwood Mac does with this song.

This is one of them. A 1950's tune.

Aerosmith made it their own, and nobody rocks it better.

Well not sure...

Redone or duplicated at this level, where all the band members are emotionally & technically in sync with each other.
I do not think so, not even Santana replicating it to this level.

Rhythm section leads, then guitar, then drummer, then organist, and so on.

Sorry Hank, but Patsy does your song better.

"Better" is only an opinion, but this is some fine voice and guitar work on an old Willie tune.
