[edit] List of versions

I reverted to an earlier version & removed an anonymous edit which pasted the song list from heyjoe.org Design 09:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stevie Ray Vaughan

I own the Montreux dvd 1982 and 1985 and there is no cover version of Hey Joe on it. I highly doubt Stevie has covered this song. But if he has can you please find a link or some proof that it is covered by him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.130.16.59 (talk) 07:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

I just checked the Legacy Recordings website [1] and you are right. The tracklist for the DVD & CD releases dont contain "Hey Joe". I'll remove the reference in the article.--Design (talk) 11:52, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eddie Murphy

Eddie Murphy also did a cover of "Hey Joe" on his second album Love's Allright.

[edit] The Doors

Currently listed under "recorded versions" in this article is The Doors (1966). This needs a citation or should be removed. --Design 11:33, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Buckwheat Zydeco

Sometime in the early 90s, Buckwheat Zydeco did a fantastic version of Hey Joe on either Dave Letterman or the Tonight Show. Dont know the date, but sometime in the 1990-1993 period I think. I believe its on YouTube somewhere, I dont know if he recorded it on any of his albums. Murple 04:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JimiHendrix HeyJoe 1967.jpg

Image:JimiHendrix HeyJoe 1967.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
