One of the local music venue owners used to be tour manager for Leonard Cohen. When Cohen died, this guy organised a tribute concert with a whole bunch of local talent.
The guy that did Hallelujah is a fantastic rock guitarist and, recognising that the world was Halellujah'd out, did a rock version, more along the lines of Hendrix' Star Spangled Banner than anything I'd ever heard before. It was _awesome_ (literally awe inspiring).He was so into it he had no recollection later of what he'd done or how he'd performed, but to the audience it had as much power and feeling as the 'real thing'.
Sadly, there's no recording of it in any form. I've asked him a few times if he could do it again so it could be recorded, but he says he doesn't even want to try because it was just of the moment and he didn't think he could do it again
