Yeah some songs are even improved when they are covered because the different vocals or emotions make it sound better to you. I find this with Jailbreak when Jon covered it in 97 on the DA tour. I think his vocals sound better than Phil Lynotts and it seems to be played a little faster than Thin Lizzy's version. I also think it seems to have a little more atmosphere to it.
