Both the originals and the covers are great when it comes to those tracks.

That's the work of the late Ron Asheton. At 15, I was blown away when, at the end of their set, he just parked his guitar—with feedback
ablarin' —face-forward against the amp/speaker stack as they left the stage. It was quite an exit to an impressionable young lad.
