And getting back to definitive covers...most think of TFN as a Nazareth song. Go to E-Bay and do a search on "This Flight Tonight"...it'll be about 95% Nazareth. And Jimmy, Jerry, and others can back me up when I say that Nazareth's recording inspired MANY other metal bands to do the song in the same way. And while she's never stated the fact, knowing that Nancy Wilson of Heart is a humongo Joni fan leads me to strongly believe that Nazareth's cover of TFN was a MAJOR inspiration for Heart's "Barracuda"...certainly, at least, the intro.
