Ryan Adams is fond of covers when performing live, so it shouldn't come as a massive shock to know that he's done it again. As usual, his twist manages to challenge the original's quality.
This one, recorded by a fan at Adams' recent trek to the Sydney Opera House down in Oz, is a tender rendition of Foo Fighters' "Times Like These", and it's dedicated to the you'd-think-totally-shattered-or-something-going-by-how-much-people-are-talking-about-it legs of Dave Grohl.
Watch the cover below, via CoS.
