- I've been wanting to do this tune for awhile, and it was really fun putting this all together on guitars. This is one of those songs that you hear and instantly recognize within just a few notes because the synth lines are so iconic, not to even mention how perfect Annie Lennox's vocal delivery is. Huge thanks to Reina and Josh for lending their talents on this one and making it happen! Massive appreciation for Kelly Oden lending her video shooting skills, too, and getting this to look so good with just the one take.

2 guitars, a bass, 3 great musicians : sweet dreams are made of this...Respect !!!
Fantastic, Toni please sing more lead. You’ve got it girl, show the world.
Yes!
totally agree
Not sure if you mean more lead on this song than you're doing, or doing lead on more songs, but I agree 👍
@@MarijnvdZaag Probably more songs. Not sure I've run across any others with Toni singing lead. Anyway Toni has nice voice in addition to her great playing skills and I agree.
@@MarijnvdZaag Lead more often i.e on more songs!
I am 59 years old when this song came out it was awesome.
Your version of this is the best I've ever heard you kids are amazing.
These guys are not getting enough credit for taking a song dominated by synth and masterfully transposing it to just guitars in a way that rivals or even surpasses the original!
Great as this version is, it does not rival or surpass the original.
Two opposing arguments. It is grand to have an opinion. Respectful.
Most people can't play intricate picking patterns and sing at the same time. This is very impressive.
Yeah, but most people can't play the guitar.
Muscle memory. I'm not discounting the effort, but it's all muscle memory
@@ggthewhale Frank Zappa could not play while singing.
Toni is a very gifted musician
Toni is an ace guitarist.
Toni is one of the few that can play on a par with Josh and as he does, sing while playing lead. Rare. She blew me away in this video. More Josh and Toni please.
I love seeing Toni up front on vocals. Her voice always seems to be in background, but I think she has tremendous potential.
I'd go so far as to say her broader voice is far better suited to lead vocals and Reina's light airy voice is far better suited to backing vocals. But what does this former choir-boy know.
@@capnskiddies I don't pretend to read minds, but I always got the feeling that Toni was shy about using her voice. I just like to see all these kids living the dream.
Agreed but Reina killed it on the background vocals here. Nicely done
@@capnskiddies ... agreed ...and I could be wrong about this ...Reina's voice seems to have more passion ...Toni's voice like her Guitar mastery ...is technically clear and has perfect pitch
Toni is more or less a phenom. She is an amazing guitarist, not necessarily in the ways many people might compare, in other words, she is not Jimi Hendrix, or Joe Satriani or Steve Vai on their best days, for the old folks, or Billy Strings or Kingfish or even Molly Tuttle today. All of whom I absolutely love 100%. But Toni is special because she gets in the pocket like a little mouse in a pocket, and huddles up in there, and just grooves, you feel it deeply. It is a very special, and unique talent. I’m am so, so glad this group found each other. They are todays virtuosos. Pop music will always capture the attention of the masses, but this gang is special. And Toni, is an artist! If they all come to my neck of the woods, I am going to spend all the money, to go to their show.
This cover expresses super and rare talent. All this richness with 3 guitars and unbelievable vocals!
Holy crap--every part of that was spot on, from Toni's vocals and everyone's guitar/bass work, to the harmonies (Reina nailed the high parts!), etc. Amazing.
Not sure it wasn’t Josh that hit the high notes with his falsetto. Great blend though.
@@1105renrut I'm sure it's Josh doing the high notes, you can confirm by listening with only one earpiece.
They shared! :) It’s Reina doing the high harms in the bridge and Josh doing them in the last two choruses.
@@ToniLindgren you guys are great no matter what you do. Best group of musicians on the planet.
Well this is just fabulous.
The Petersens are in the house, now these two groups combining would be something!
@@nigelchristensen7001 ruclips.net/video/P-0Diel8Tqk/видео.html ruclips.net/video/C9s3Cns_I9I/видео.html
The petersons ... 💘
@@TonyMancino Awesome, it's almost what I was asking for, just missing Josh.
YES
Look at Lindgren singing solo and stroking out those riffs! All you guys are SO talented! This old guy loves listening.
Instead be hearing this awesome cover, other people watching "la garita q le gusta el mambo".... Mercy!!! Muy God!!!!
Toni your voice is beautiful, you should sing more often! Spectacular work on the guitar too, I wish I could play so well!Amazing video! :)
Perfect. And the great ´human’ harmony between the 3 ( and all the ones involved around the Reina Del Cid projects) is amazing: we all know the great talents of Reina, Toni, Josh and the others, each of them is a kind of virtuoso, but when they play together it is only about doing the best music and never about egos.
And the harmonies and back vocals?!!!! Wow, y"all!
Just how does Toni play so many single lead notes in time, WHILE she is singing the vocals of the year?
As a child of the 70s - 80s this is one of the best renditions of this song ever. Hands down. Nuff said.
Very good version. I love the tone Tori’s getting out of her guitar, a real liquid sound.
The harmonizing at the end have me chills
Why can’t I have neighbors like this … 🤘🥳🤓
Great production. Toni needs to sing more lead!
Outstanding...
Congratulations to everyone involved..
Wonderful to hear Toni on lead vocals..🔥✨💫🌟💥
Toni is the missing piece ... her soulfulness perfectly balance the vibes... please continue.
A friendly reply to my earlier comment drew me back here, to again watch these 3 Musketeers do it all so very well. I've been so busy lately I've missed them all - but I repeat that Toni's talent and smile made me feel 30 years younger for a few seconds in this performance. I fell for Reina and Toni long, long ago, and anytime I get to watch and hear them (love Josh too) together is one of the chief jewels of any day I am still here. I hope I get to have more of them going forward.
Love that Toni voice. The picking talent is just a spoil of riches in talent. Good grief shes good
Toni really is a master of giving exactly the right level of energy and flair for the style. Her musicality is really impressive
Toni truly Shines!
Toni is the most musical guitarist I've ever heard , now a propper vocalist too !
How can anyone "dislike this". The guitars, the bass, the voices, all PERFECT.
They are low grade ore! These kids rock! X
Easy. They're disgusting naysayers. The world is full of them.
I think those folks were high when they pressed the button. They misread it as "dis I like".
What a great treat to hear Toni sing lead vocals. As always, your guitar work is exceptional. Hope you do more to show off your singing ability too.
A double win for us listeners! Great vocal by Toni on top of her master guitar work. What a treat. You guys sound fantastic together and always amaze me. Yes, yes I am jealous. Thank you all. hj
Annie had a very unique voice RIP. However this is an excellent cover. 👍😁
@@dennispicone6801 Ummm…Annie isn’t dead. We’ve lost enough fabulous musicians and vocalists lately. Let’s not jinx the ones that are still with us!
This is the first time Ive really sat and listened through them do several songs in a row. Holy cow are they good.
To play that riff all the way through while singing is phenomenal.
Awesome choice! You should take the lead vocals more often. Great cover all around!
There’s a whole world of talent on RUclips that far surpasses the quality of what big record labels and main stream TV/radio churns out. You guys are right up there with the best👍.
The singing is great; Toni's guitar singing is something else.
I bless the day several years ago when, for the first time, a Josh, Carson, Reina and Toni video came up on my side bar. It was Stuck in the Middle, and it was the first time they'd all met and played together. Little did I know that it was the beginning of a long term relationship for me with them. Excellent from the beginning, and they just got better and better, together and individually.
Toni, this is unreal! You didn't copy a song, you made it original! Love the Robert Cray tone you pull out of that Strat. Turned a pop song into a haunting blues anthem. And judicious use of effects, which are easy to overuse on a track like this. Thank you for inspiring me
Well done Toni , I've been banging on to get you to do a. vocal . Well worth the wait
Robert Cray that's cool
Absolutely. I did not really like the original but I really enjoy this version of the song.
You mean the guy who called "Slowhand" out for being an asshole? Cool!
WOW !!!!!
Anna Lennox's Sweet Dreams will be immortal music and to hear Reina, Toni and Josh cover it with such awesome skill is just beautiful. Made my day.
Great song, great cover ❤
Wow! Toni really knows her way around an axe! Respect! 🎸
I am so lmpressed by these tremendously talented young musicians. And how Josh is wise enough, generous enough to be background. His recording, editing , playing, singing-- he has talents enough for several people, I find him simply amazing.
Fab. Loved it. Great surprise to see Toni singing lead.
This was awesome! Love this trio! Nice to hear Toni on lead vocal!
You didn’t just cover this, you owned this song. Everything sounds so smooth and the harmonies sounds so intoxicating. Thanks for drawing me in
Sometimes, I run across a cover of an iconic tune that is actually more fun than the original. This is one of those cases. Thank you.
Oh my those harmonies!
Wow!!!!A whole new level for Reina and company! I love to see Toni’s confidence in her voice grow. Reina, all I can say is no ego …. phenomenal talent!!! Always great to see Josh add his little bit of magic. Great “cover”!!!
Nice cover. The crazy thing is this was the music of my high school years and it was 40 YEARS AGO! I remember when this came out. Its nice that the younger generation doesn't think of this as old fuddy duddy music. Those years had so much great music in so many different genres. At the time, we didn't realize how lucky we were. Rock on!
I’m infatuated with Toni’s talent. What she makes appear so natural, singing while playing intricate melodies is not something easily done. Well done!😘
Makes it look easy, unreal!
Me too. In fact I'm in love with Toni's art. Her guitar playing is from R&R Heaven. And she sings wonderfully too.
Me three. Toni’s musical ability seems to be endless. I hope she keeps playing forever.
When musicians get together something amazing can happen. It happened with these pros here. Guitar work was spot on, harmonies, especially the "woos" were spot on. I never thought there would be a great acoustic version of this '80s synth classic, but here it is.
Holy holy! I would love to see an MRI of Toni's brain as she's playing that syncopated rhythm and singing the lead line.
The more I see of Toni the more I’m impressed! She’s incredible on guitar and has a great voice! Clearly she’s having fun! And, oh yeah, Josh is his usual great self!
This is, by far, the best version of this song on RUclips! This and Roswell are my two favorites songs from you guys.
This performance is great, as others have said in the comments already. I've noticed in general when Reina and Toni play together that (not forgetting the great guitar work) the pretty harmonies in the vocals are probably my favorite part of most of their songs. The fact that Toni can play well on several instruments is not lost on me either, but the vocals can sound so lovely together!
BEST cover of this tune on RUclips by far! The choice of guitar over keyboards fit perfect.
How cool to hear this on guitars. It really adds a different vibe compared to the original and I'm loving it. Kudos to Toni on lead vocals and guitar.
My 9 m/o granddaughter dances to this song. She loves you guys almost as much as grandpa.
Just an outstanding job, kids.
It’s hard to find a cover of this song that isn’t super corny and overdone. I love this rendition.
Toni has grown so much in her music career. Wonderful.
Fantastic cover of an iconic song. Therefore they are excellent musicians, but I wonder if they are from this planet.
I have this watched and listened to this video over a hundred time. Thank all three of you. You know how to make an old dude smile. Way to go!!!!
Tony and Reina and Josh are getting better all the time! Keep it up!
Being an 80s New Wave girl at heart, it was so incredible to see you cover this song. I love lots of different types of music, and follow you all religiously. Thank you for this sweet gift.
Toni never ceases to amaze. Fabulous! Gotta love a woman who sings and plays guitar.
I love it when Toni takes the lead, this was amazing.
Using the guitar as another voice during the part where Annie Lennox would have been hitting those high notes is right out of the Mark Knopfler playbook, using the guitar as another vocal. Brilliant all the way around. Getting my Patreon money's worth today!
Nicely done!
Alternative cheese based lyrics:
Sweet dreams are made of cheese,
Who am I to diss a brie?
I've travelled the world eating cheddar cheese,
Everybodys looking for Stilton..
What about Emmentaler?
Strats are such unforgiving guitars. Everything you do, good or bad, will come to the forefront. Fortunately Toni doesn't have to worry about that. Every touch is virtuoso.
CAN SHE PICK??? Wow, she can pick!!!! I find it difficult to strum whole I'm trying to sing and she is playing lead while she sings.
Lead guitarist lady, the flourishes you add seem just …exactly right. Creative, intentional, and precise. Like just the right seasoning for a food. Great sound, too.
Effortless and elegant.
Glad to hear Toni sing the lead. We knew of her great playing skills, but her voice sounds great. Great job guys 👍
My jaw just hit the floor.
This is the most lush, perfect mix I've heard in years
More please 💖
You guys this is just freaking incredible what an unbelievable piece of music you guys have put together here! ... every single part... the vocals, Tony the guitar and vocal is killer Reina your voice and playing is just killin it and the bass is killing it! unbelievable mix...unbelievable musicianship! Thank you all soooo much!
Well said!! Cheers! Love
You three together have just put out your best music to date. Impeccable... But with just enough Funk.
Thank you, dear Toni, for this great performance. Thank you Reina & Josh
When they HIT THE MARK at 2:27, Toni's smile LIT UP like a light bulb! In PERFECT SYNC!
I noticed that! Awesome.
That's a beautiful thing when Toni smiles. Thanks. I may have missed that. She is so beautiful.
@@JulieStJohn-jb4cy It's like a musical orgasm and they all came at the same time.
Just had to smile too when Toni did. Really tough to play that lick and sing at the same time. Kudos!
That's when Josh's falsetto came in, I think that's why she's smiling
Wow this one of your best covers! love you all, Great lead vocals! Great harmonies! Great everything!
Two years later and i still love this video!
This may be the only cover version of this song I have ever heard, yet I doubt it will be bettered! The three of you are so strong together and sound fantastic; a real trio of talent! Thank you so much for just being there and doing what you do. You are giving so much to so many; bless you for that.
awesome job on lead vocals Toni! great cover.
Superb!!! One of my 80's favorites. Vocals, guitars and bass all great. Good job. Doing this song on guitars is a challenge. And you three mastered it. I'm hooked.
Josh and his facial expressions... at the beginning.. OK, let's do this and get going... and then.. Oh Shit! These ladies are bringing it... I'm all in! Best version of this song by a landslide!
These harmonies are UNREAL! Incredible performance. 👏👏👏
Little by little each day my love for Toni's playing grows. At this point, it's reached epic levels.
Great to hear Toni singing :)
Josh always a solid bass line.
One of the best covers from this group
Wow, this classic riff gave me chills !!! Love to hear you sing lead ! And Reina and Josh are out of this world at back up vocals.
OMG Toni I got chills! your VOICE!
This is one of the best performance cover of this song. Fantastic, keep up with this 🙂
With one word; just fantastic !!!! Thanks.
I'm not sure how it's possible to take a song that's been covered a thousand times before and make it truly unique...but somehow you've done it here. More cute licks than a kitten, Toni!!! Beautifully balanced sound and perfect vocal harmonies! Your music makes me happy!!!
Bellissima versione! Complimenti per l’arrangiamento e le voci. Toni straordinaria.
Pure joy, you can see the passion and precision. Perfect.
I've gotta say - Toni really *SHINES* on this one ! She really teases the vibes outta that strat ! And the (layered) vocals - Just over the TOP !
That was awesome! Especially the harmonies in the last 30 seconds.
A room filled with talented people! 👏👏👏 Greetings from The Netherlands 🇳🇱
Dag!! 👍🇳🇱
Such a thrilling voice ...!!! What are you hiding Toni ...??? I used to hear the song while in secondary school 🏫...you remind me of those years of innocence...Yes!..Real embassadors of wisdom...go on for the sake of God...!
Greetings from Algeria...Ask Joan Baez...when she gave in the seventies a Great living performance in Algiers to students...!!!
This is the best I’ve heard in decades. You are now the first videos I watch when I open RUclips.
Fantastically done, all around. Toni’s voice & guitar tone are just amazing!
Wowser. That is incredible. This was one of my favourites when it came out but guys, your version is actually better than the original! Deep respect.
