Nickel Creek: Greatest Britney Spears Cover Band

It was the first concert I've seen in ages. A friend had tickets to see Nickel Creek, and I hadn't seen her in a while so I agreed to go. I'd heard of Nickel Creek but other than the name I knew nothing about them. It turns out they're a progressive-pop-bluegrass group. The best song of the night, at first, was a cover of (Nice Dream) by Radiohead. I love Radiohead covers, with a few exceptions, and this one was good. It did fall apart a bit during the breakdown. They made up for that completely by covering Toxic by Britney Spears. Now, even Britney's version is pretty good, and I'm no fan of hers by any stretch. The cover by Nickel Creek was priceless. I'd like to have a tribute album from various artists to just this song. Wow. I hope it ends up on a bootleg somewhere, it was great!
