Young's lyric is "galleons and guns". Plus his voice is sort of .... damn annoying. Other than that, not bad. The live Neil Young/Crazy Horse version on Weld is really something, though.

I have never understood the irony movement. Even Paul Westerberg, who would pull a Daydream Believer or Make Your Own Kind Of Music out of his butt at least went to the trouble of trying to *own* those songs. Built To Spill- man, I had forgotten about this cover, and I'm so glad you posted this- they really HONORED Neil on this one. Good for you for giving them their due. >>What I have always loved about Martsch’s approach, to the cover, is that he in no way presents an ironic or “cutesy” indie take on the song, but goes after it with the reverence it deserves>>

Nothing compares to the original. There is a version of "Cortez" done by The Bottle Rockets on their live CD which I think is better than Built To Spill's. Don't get me wrong. All three versions are wonderful. This cover of “Cortez” ain’t too bad. Nothing compares to the original.

Possibly one of the greatest cover songs ever. BTS almost surpass Neil for more guitars per square inch on this one. In fact this entire live album recasts BTS as more of an out and out guitar rock band than their studio albums ever let on. Yesssssssssss. Possibly one of the greatest cover songs ever.
