The Killers put their spin on Bob Dylan classic “Blowin’ in the Wind” at last week’s Lake Tahoe Summit, an annual event where lawmakers gather to talk the environment that this year featured an appearance from President Obama.
This marks the first time the Brandon Flowers-fronted band has covered Dylan, though they’re no strangers to covers: Their cover of Joy Divison’s “Shadowplay, which appeared on 2007’s Sawdust, is a frequent concert staple, and they’ve also showed off their live renditions of tracks like Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and Frankie Valli’s “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You.”
Their take on “Blowin’ in my Wind” is less folk, more rock, and even features a Killers-style guitar solo. Watch the performance above.
