Runaways cover Versions

[americanknight]

Hey everyone,

This is the list of stuff I have- If anyone knows of more can you let me know what they are and who did them. I'm not including all the various re-recordings of Cherry Bomb that Cherie did and the re-recorded stuff for the new Joan Greatest Hits. Any additional info would be great.

Great idea! When did they do 'That's Rock n Roll' ?

[americanknight]

They did it at the Starwood, Sept 13, 1976. It's on a bootleg.

Thx wasted. Do you know if theses versions were recorded or just performed in their live sets?

I didn't know Blondie covered a Runaways song...even if it was only live.

Yeah jett, it was definitely a surprise. Someone gave a cassette of the show and low and behold it was the encore. It's a pretty good version too.
