Fellow Seattle band Foo Fighters played a version during a 2014 appearance on Late Show with David Letterman, with Ann and Nancy Wilson performing lead vocals and guitar respectively.[2]
Cash Box called it "hard driving rock and roll" and said that it "benefits from thoughtful stylization on the part of each musician, as well as the energetic vocals of sassy Ann Wilson."[3]
