Going to hopefully convince a bunch of people in meat space to get into the game, but to help with the rules I thought I use Lost Mine of Phandelver as its a low level campaign. I also thought I help with introductions by adding a fight early on.
The additional plot hook is the group just passed the Guild exams and now full fledged adventurers, and they are celebrating y having a pint at the "Lucky Newbie" table, so called because people believe it gives the new guys luck on their table. After intorductions, a bar fight breaks out, and they get forced into joining it. This will be where I help them out with attacks, spells, and differnt kinds of actions.
Right now I am looking for some music that will inspire a good old fashionn bar brawl.

He/Him. Loooooooooong time Player. The Dark days of the THAC0 system are behind us.
"Hope is a fire that burns in us all If only an ember, awaiting your call To rise up in triumph should we all unite The spark for change is yours to ignite." Kalandra - The State of the World
Theme from Bonanza, Theme from Lawman, wagon train, songs playing on Gunsmoke. Not sure about Big Valley.
To start the fight, the the opening the Rifleman, where there is a lot of gun shots. While there may be no actual guns , who is to say some magic doesn't have that gun sound when cast?
Thanks for the suggestions. While Tavern/wild west saloon is what I am largely looking for, I will take suggestions as wild as Tubthumping or anything from Tommas Benjamin Wild Esq.
Thin Litzy’s “The boys are back n town” - especially the last stanza: ”Friday night, they'll be dressed to kill Down at Dino's Bar 'n' Grill The drink will flow and blood will spill And if the boys want to fight, you better let 'em That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favorite song The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long Won't be long 'til the summer comes Now that the boys are here again”

On the top of my head I have:
Freebird-Lynard Skynard
Drunken Lullabies-Flogging Molly
Whisky in the Jar-Metalica Cover.
Any other fun songs for a tavern wide brawl?
Suggestions thus far

The Ballroom Blitz by Sweet - campy
Bodies by Drowning Pool - for a bit more of an intense take

Freebird is sooooo long, that's like half your session!
Thanks so far. Right now more light hearted, this is a fun introduction to combat and a few other aspects of the game.
As for free bird being half the session, well so will comabat.
Maybe watch "Road House", the original, for inspiration?
Elton John’s Saturday nights alright for fighting.

Playing Freebird is a good way to start an OOC fight.
For actual fight music, I recommend Fight Song by Sister Sin.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

Won't be long 'til the summer comes
Now that the boys are here again”

Depending on the age of the players and how silly you want things to be, Dare To Be Stupid.
