Cover Wars: March Madness – Final Four

We’ve caught up to the NCAA tourney as we’re down to the final four for our version of March Madness featuring past Cover Wars winners facing off.

Thanks to everyone who voted this week as Phish’s cover of A Day In The Life quadrupled the vote total for tDB’s Killing In The Name cover, Garcia/Grisman’s take on Sitting In Limbo won by a large margin over DMB’s Sledgehammer, Widespread Panic’s cover of Can’t Find My Way Home eeked one out against Umphrey’s Making Flippy Floppy and Mr. Blotto’s 50 Ways Cinderella story continues with a big win over the Dead’s Not Fade Away.

Today, we’ve got two semi-final matchups for you to vote on:

A Day In The Life – Phish vs. Sitting In Limbo – Garcia/Grisman
Can’t Find My Way Home – WSP vs. 50 Ways – Mr. Blotto
