Jeff Tweedy Covers Beck, Harry Nilsson During Twilight Override Tour Stop Jeff Tweedy delivered a special performance at The Belasco in downtown Los Angeles on March 20, 2026, as part of his Twilight Override Tour. The Wilco frontman surprised fans by performing unexpected covers of Beck’s “Loser” and Harry Nilsson’s “Jump Into The Fire,” both of which resonated deeply with the audience. The 1,500-capacity venue erupted in excitement during these tributes, which were not just setlist additions but heartfelt homages to L.A.’s musical legacy. The Twilight Override Tour, supporting Tweedy’s triple album released in September 2025 with 30 tracks, has established a nightly tradition of honoring local artists through location-specific cover songs. During the Los Angeles stop, Tweedy and his band chose to spotlight two iconic figures: Beck and Nilsson. Sammy Tweedy, Jeff’s son, opened the set with a dynamic rendition of Beck’s 1994 hit “Loser,” capturing the original’s hip-hop energy. Jeff then took the lead for Nilsson’s “Jump Into The Fire,” delivering a high-energy performance that had the crowd cheering and dancing. These tributes were celebrated as joyful celebrations of musical legends rather than mere nostalgia. Tweedy’s performance was marked by his playful engagement with the audience. He switched between multiple guitars throughout the night, including his Gibson Signature SG electric, Jolana Iris, various Fenders, and a blue Kawai Moonsault, which he used during his own song “Flowering.” His humor and self-deprecating remarks kept the atmosphere relaxed, even as the crowd remained energized. Tweedy also shared stories about his personal struggles with Sharpies and warned fans about quieter moments in the set, adding a layer of intimacy to the performance.#los_angeles #jeff_tweedy #the_belasco #sammy_tweedy #twilight_override_tour
