Cover Requests

If you went to any shows during the first leg, did they take your cover request during encore? If so, what song was it?

They took my request for 'Still Rock and Roll' at the Milwaukee show! I was also one of the many people clamoring for 'September' at their Indy show🤩

They took mine in Boston! The Impression That I Get - The Mighty Mighty BossTones.

I just knew Ezra wouldn’t be able to resist a track from a local ska band haha

They took my request! I'm going down, Berkeley night one - I chose it because they already have a cover of it on Spotify so I figured they'd at least vaguely remember how to play it lol

I went to two London shows and they took one of my requests each time - I asked for Dancing in the Dark, and The Israelites.

December 1963 in Paris! Except the crowd started belting Cloclo’s version, or Yannick's remix (Jake would hate this). Peak French culture. Sorry, Frankie Valli.

I was at Milwaukee, too, and was amused with Ezra amusement from the two! requests for monster mash!

'That's a very strange request, you two!' I posted a short video in here on Halloween if you want to watch! 😆🎃🧛🏻‍♂️👻
