The Coverups (Green Day) - Fox on the Run (The Sweet cover) - Halloween Show, Live in Los Angeles

The Coverups (Green Day) - Fox on the Run (The Sweet cover) - Los Angeles, Live, 10-28-22, Moroccan Lounge. Billie Joe: Happy Halloween everybody! :P
Other Tidbits:
Originally planned for September, the show was postponed and then rescheduled for the Halloween weekend. The flyer encouraged everyone to wear a costume, and a lot of people did, including the band lol. Some of the costumes included Greg Schneider dressed up as The Joker, Bill Schneider as Darth Maul, Chris Dugan as a vampire, Kevin Tyler Preston as Evil Knievel, and Mike Dirnt as Joe Dirt lol. During the show, Billie Joe tossed handfuls of Dum Dums lollipops into the crowd.
Mike Dirnt: Joe Dirt needs a beer!
Jason White: Joe Dirt everybody!
Mike Dirnt: Anybody got a mustache I could borrow?
Fan: Can I get a beer?
Billie Joe: I don’t have any beer.. It’s a non-alcoholic beer lol (Jason White later hands the fan one of his beers! lol)
Jason White (after Don't Change): That’s a lot (of good INXS) songs..
Billie Joe: That’s like… the best INXS song :P
Jason White: Is anyone dressed like Michael Hutchence? That was for him.
Billie Joe: I am dressed like the guy from Men at Work. We come from the land Down Under! Grow a fu*kin’ mullet now…
Fan: Don’t steal my look! lol
Billie Joe: Didn’t know you were Australian :P
Billie Joe (joking before Ready Steady Go): This is a song we wrote… in 1977 lol
Billie Joe: Mike’s about to drive off in a fu*kin’ El Camino right now…
Mike Dirnt: I’m uh… Somebody was on my Harley outside… :P

Sweet deserves a Green Day tribute! Roots, man!

[@anjaschmied6257]

Great cover 🔥💥Viva la Sweet 💕💕

Love the checker board guitar! Better hide it from Rick Nielsen.

Jaysus. I remember ice skating to this song at my 10th birthday outing in Narrabeen (Sydney Australia). Fucking weird init - they had a skating rink there - long gone now like the gun shop next door also (thankfully) long gone. Billie Joe would have been about 4 years old.

[@expertplace]

what's wrong with a gun shop? also, for some reason I mistaken sydney for aspen.. figured you'd better need a gun in aspen for protection and hunting to eat.

[@kimbaldunsmore4633]

Dunno what you're on about here really but anyways we don't need guns in the community here anymore after they invented grocery and butcher shops. Not sure why you still do.

[@ricardobueno6855]

I remember watching them practice this gig on Billy’s IG live but he deleted his account and I’ve been looking for these songs everywhere , thank you 🙏🏻

Great song to cover, a Milwaukee local from the 1980s called Moxy Roxx did a great one too!

Is that Mike as Joe Dirt at the far right?
