The hour mini-concert included a number of cover songs including Hit Me Baby One More Time (Britney Spears), with a twist of Hotel California! If you haven't had the opportunity to as of yet, this is a must see video! Thanks to Kurt J. Zendzian for filming! Also check out our new series of screen caps from the performance!

With a number of Christmas shows planned for Avril in December, how cool would it be for another jam? Perhaps a festive theme that includes Christmas tunes?! Shake Up Christmas by Train would rule as a cover! That would be our request :P
