Indie-jammers moe. returned to New York City this weekend for the first time in eight months and treated the packed crowd at Terminal 5 to two new covers on Friday night. The group opened the show with a fierce cover of Kick Out The Jams by Detroit punk pioneers MC5 sung by Al Schnier.

But the major bust out moment of the weekend went down in the middle of the second set when moe. shocked the audience by unveiling their take on the Widespread Panic anthem Space Wrangler. Al sang this one as well and not only did they nail it but they tacked on a nice ten-minute-plus jam for good measure before slowly segueing into a steamy Timmy Tucker.
moe. seems to be big on jamband covers all of the sudden after dropping Mule’s Thorazine Shuffle on January 31 in Denver. Speaking of jambands, moe. tipped their cap at the Biscuits by inverting Spine of a Dog to end the first set. Thanks to the quick turnaround of two tapers, you can download both shows from the Live Music Archive.
