- The Coverups (Green Day) - A Quick One (While He's Away) (The Who cover) - San Francisco, Live, 3-8-18, front row, Thee Parkside. Secret Show! Billie Joe: “Is Tré Cool around anymore? Or was he like ‘fu*k this, this is hot!’?” :P
Other Tidbits:
“Our first overseas show!” The band joked.. The previous 3 Coverups shows were held in Albany at the Ivy Room.
Thee Parkside is a bar and music venue which has a capacity of only ~100 people, about half of the capacity of the Ivy Room. The ad flyer for the show featured a picture of Molly Ringwald smoking in the movie The Breakfast Club, and in honor of that, Thee Parkside played the movie on their TV sets above the bar during the show, which Billie Joe pointed out during the concert was pretty cool.
There were many friends and family in attendance and it was essentially a private show, but it was also open to fans that were able to figure out the clues the band left on their social media pages. Admission was only $13, and with it, we also got a raffle ticket. Many joke prizes were raffled off, including such items as a toy helicopter, Mike’s American flag jacket, KISS vinyl records, an American flag ukulele, and a double-neck guitar, lol.
The Coverups, Billie Joe, Mike Dirnt, Jason White, Bill Schneider, Lee Bothwick and Chris Dugan, all hung out after the show, talking with the fans and taking pictures.
Tré Cool joined the band for ‘Sheena Is a Punk Rocker’, ‘A Quick One’, and for ‘Astro Zombies’, Sara (who just had her birthday a couple days ago) sang lead vocals sang lead vocals with her husband Tré on the drums.
Unlike at the shows in Albany, there was a huge mosh pit in the center operating almost continuously throughout the concert. It also got very hot as well and the band joked that the stage was turning into a sauna, lol. Billie Joe: “Is Tré Cool around anymore? Or was he like ‘fu*k this, this is hot!’?” :P
Many of the fans recognized each other from previous Green Day and Coverups concerts. However, because the Thee Parkside could only allow in fans 21 years old and over, some fans could not make it.
Billie Joe (after 2 unclaimed raffle prizes were drawn): OK, I’ve got an idea… Guess what number I’m thinking of in my head… That’s right! (throwing the helicopter into the crowd) lol
Mike Dirnt: ‘Hella’ copter… East Bay lingo there… We came to the show and gave away ‘Hella’ copters… lol
“I didn’t play in that band…” (Mike jokingly replying to a fan who asked him to autograph the KISS album he won in the raffle, lol)
Billie Joe (to a front row fan): "What are you doing? You're taking pictures?... You know that's like the worst angle, ever, right?" The fan then proceeded to hold her camera way above her head (to get a better shot from a downward instead of an upward angle), to which Billie then posed for it. “There you go!” lol

Billie: "I tell you we only play covers"
"Dookie Welcome to Paradise"
Billie: Ok, I guess that counts.
Awesome to see anyone cover this song
jesus of suburbia and homecoming always reminded me of this song
very much so. and intentionally so from what i've read
yup this song is a rock opera, and jesus and homecoming are a punk opera. Heavily influenced by The Who@@Kate31415
Centennials: I like this new GD song
Tre cool fucking killed it. Keith Moon smiled down on this with pride
mIKES BEARD!!!!!
I always had mucho admiration for Armstrong,
because he loves music so
much.
Great cover best I have ever heard. Crowd was stoned.
best theyve ever sounded on this. theyve really been practicing too, you can tell. fucking fantabulous
LEGENDARY
Love it, my favorite drummer being covered by my 2nd favorite drummer ohh yer
Keith Moon played with reckless abandon lived life just like he played the drums
The Who and Green Day are 2 of my most important bands to ever exist
If it weren't for the Who Green Day wouldn't have formed
This is really just about so much joy and abandon and sloppiness and sheer unabashed flat out love of music and playing. Thanks a million for posting and for all the notes about the show. I love the internet
Brilliant drummer, 👏
looks like the mics got overwhelmed. couldn't really hear the vocals
Awesome!
Wonderland 😍 thanks for yours video's. I Love green day 💕 ♥️ 🇧🇷 💞 😍I love Billie Joe.
There is far too little discussion of Mike's beard here.
He looks like Obi-Wan Kenobi!
Damn he looks like he's in his 70s but managed to keep his hair coloured.
He looks insanely hot with that beard (not that isn't without).
That was really good
Good work
Good job but rock & roll circus version is still untouchable
Of course it's untouchable. You're talking the fucking Who at the absolute peak of their powers doing a Townshend original that they've had at least a couple years practicing. (They did it, two years earlier, at Monterrey Pop in 1967, having the unenviable experience of having to go on just before Jimi Hendrix's festival closing set, where introducing himself to many in attendance for the first time, infamously set his guitar on fire, in an almost shamanic paganistic rite. The Who in opting to go on before Jimi, in essence, became the warm up act for Hendrix lol) Classic rock indeed!!
Wow a never-seen comment
If it had Been Pro-Shot, it would have sounded Much Better. Their Album cover of this Song Is GR8!! The Who is My #1 Band - Green Day is in My Top 5 fave Bands!! Love it!!
The Whoがめっちゃ好きな事が伝わる演奏だな👍👍👍
俺もこの曲めっちゃ好き‼️
Vocals were inaudible but Tre does a passable Keith Moon.
Has he done "Bell Boy"? 😊
Passable?? I think The Who would have preferred Tre.
@@chrisfields123I hardly think so lol. It’s his spin, but it’s nowhere near like Moon’s.
The first time I saw GD my first thought about Tre was that he learned by watching Keith Moon. Same flamboyant arm action.
JFC that was good! Tres Moon!
Great piece of drumming
Good version
3:27 mike shouLd say ThaT parT cause i jusT heard his voice in The
audio
Green Day, Pearl Jam absolutely love The Who.
Please tell me you have full video of the all the other covers?!
i like to atempt ro play that song with my bros
It's unfair to all rock bands to compare them to The Who, which had Keith Moon at his best. Keith Moon's destructive power has reached Japan in 2024.
bass sound is about fingers (or pick). Good example.
8:36 priceless
Fuck Yeah!
About 5 foot 3, 112 pounds, black hair, glasses... oval face
Great cover! But, The Who’s Rock and Roll Circus is still the best .
The Who Full Allum Live in Busdust
Killer
Their doing iT again?
Mike's beard
what guitar is BJ playing?
A new model by rock and roll relics
And he switches to a Gibson les Paul special tribute or something like that
It’s Rock and roll relics. go check out their website!
Billy Joel kicks ass!
You meant Billie Joe right?
I guess. If that was a walk-in for me... I'd leave after about the first 20
Oh fuck me up
I'm confused here is this actually Green Day doing something Different or are these guys just big fans of these songs that they cover who like to do it in the style of Green Day?
Greatboy700 Barbarian it’s a side project that members of Green Day (usually excluding Tre) do only covers.
@@alexandertomak4199 Oh Okay Cool thanks
The Coverups
@@Barbarian1244 - The actual Green Day also did a very good studio version on their album '21st Century Breakdown' 🙂
Not the easiest song to cover. Sounded a bit shit but I'd have liked to have been there!
He said fuck you? 1:14
The coverups aren’t green day
Karl Smith true, but look at the line up they usd for this song :P
Well on this song there's Billie Joe, Tre and Mike, and another guy on guitar...they just like to do covers not Green Day songs. Do you know the concept of "side project band"?
TokyoBlue yes do you? Because a side project means a band other than green day. The line up of the foxboro hot tubs is often the same as green day too but they are a completely different band - same musicians.
TokyoBlue the other guy is Jason White. Amazing musician. You should learn his name.
Karl's joking here because you know the Network always say the Network aren't Green Day but we know they are the same musicians aha 😂 Karl's a good musician himself btw, he plays this along with loads of other Green day songs really well 🤘🎶
Pete Townshend is thinking WTF is this shite!
God awful by any standard. Holy cow😅
terrible. Pete and Rog should kick their ass
Sucks real hard!
