If you could re-record an old song with modern recording equipment, which one would you choose?

I can't imagine how sick this song would sound with true multitrack recording equipment

The Who, Won’t Get Fooled Again

I actually enjoy older recordings.  Classic vinyl rock in its truest form.  With a good turntable and audio system it’s awesome.  Much of today music over processed garbage. Mistakes are never recorded. Albums are Literally recorded one bar at a time and layered over and over again to make it sound full and digital EQs trick your brain into thinking you’re an audiophile. 
 

give me the greats with a marshall, a Les paul, and close the door.  Guys like Jimi recorded on todays equipment would not be close to the same thing they were in their day.

Gimme some ....

Buddy Guy

Robert Johnson

Muddy Waters

Lightning Hopkins

And on and on.

Just imagine what those guys and many more could do.

That one is pretty well recorded.... 

Good audio, stereo sound, panning (especially the drum fills in middle part)

For sure.  Would be interesting to hear it done with modern technology though.

True, but 4 and 8 track recordings can get muddy and things get lost in the mix. 

I feel like a lot of early Hendrix stuff is poorly recorded and probably didn't capture his true sound (plus, Mitchell and Redding get lost in the mix)
