Ween and Covers of Pink Floyd

Floydians,

I agree with Thorin that a cover should sound different. I downloaded the Kittie cover of Run Like Hell and it just sucks...although they do have some melody of the slow part.
I dont like covers in general, although the Class of 99 did a cover of Another Brick in the Wall (Layne Staley from Alice in Chains) that is pretty good considering I never was a HUGE fan of the original song.
Also, I dont think Led Zeppelin did a cover of Wish You Were Here (I think its mislabeled).
The reason I started the thread was to get opinions of the Ween live performance which utterly shocked me. I can understand the average garage or big name band redoing the majority of the simple Floyd songs, but Echoes is just a true masterpiece and very complex. The casual Floyd fan wouldnt nor could attempt playing the song in its entirety, let alone do it very well as I feel Ween (whoever the hell they are) has done.

Overhead...
