moe. hit the Fillmore in Philadelphia, PA for an outrageous Halloween performance. With a “Star Wars” theme, the band came dressed in full costumes for one of their best performances to date.
The show included a number of modified lyrics for the occasion, including “St. Augustine” as “Senator Palpatine”, “Shoot First” as “Han Shot First”, “Moth” as “Hoth”, and “Yodelittle” as “Yoda.Little”.
The band also debuted some incredibly-appropriate covers throughout the night, including The Byrds’ “Mr. Spaceman”, Frank Zappa’s “Cosmik Debris”, David Bowie’s “Ziggy Stardust”, Weird Al’s “Yoda”, and Meco’s “Disco Wars”. Of course there were a number of Star Wars original tunes included, like “Cantina Band”, “Star Wars Overture”, and “The Imperial March”.
