Foo Fighters and the Hawkins family have announced the first wave of performers for the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in London this September. Liam Gallagher, Joshua Homme, Chrissie Hynde, Queen’s Brian May and Roger Taylor, Rush’s Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Supergrass, and Mark Ronson are on the bill, among others. Dave Chappelle is billed as a special guest. The show takes place September 3 at Wembley Stadium, before another tribute concert, with an as-yet-unannounced lineup, at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum on September 27.
uh, Dave, can we maybe do without the trans hating asshole here?

Watching the Taylor TributeViolet Grohl singing Jeff Buckley covers for Taylor is breaking my brain on many levels but god she’s doing such an amazing job

Getting better, TCV and Pretenders, the long gaps are a bit awks.
Feels like when I was younger and they had those endless Prince's Trust gigs on TV with the same 15 people, Clapton, Knopfler, Sting, Ure, and that bald guy on percussion.

that was incrediblealso i love that geddy and alex barely break a sweat cycling through three songs w two drummers who are both exerting themeselves to the fullest extent <3 same when they did “let there be rock” w brian johnson - foos are like half the age of acdc & everyone including lars were already gassed by the bridge lol

My theory about Lars is that he has a really, really bad back but it's not common knowledge, he's always up off the drum stool as soon as there's a break in a song.

Wouldn't it be great if they've flown in Kiss Guy, to do Monkey Wrench

Years ago, I saw Queen + Paul Rodgers do a gig at the terrible Wembley Arena (Roger even apologised for the sound halfway through) and Brian came to the front alone to do LOML and I had an involuntary meltdown, it was so lovely.

Nandi should just be their drummer going forward :)
― MaresNest, Saturday, 3 September 2022 20:28 (one year ago) link
Missed the first 30 minutes but from what I've seen I don't think there's been anything wrong tonight. The long gaps between acts maybe.

disagreethis show is like christmas for mealso its been making me cry on the regularso many of these bands/artists have already lost ppl in their lineups so the layers of meaning going on are v overwhelming at times
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 3 September 2022 20:53 (one year ago) link
I was just thinking about that; there's a lot of people who performed today who will never play for an audience this size again, if at all.

I got a late start watching this, but Brian May really is the Mr. Rogers of hard rock.

yeah that destroyed melike in a way i couldn’t believe he was playing & hosting the whole thing because its gotta be still so painful but of course he’ll do it because he’s dave & taylor’s family deserve it & he doesn’t know how not to — but when he broke down part of me was like i wish he didn’t feel like he had toyou know? it’s so much to carry & perform& try to power through

I wonder if MTV or someone is planning to stream the Los Angeles gig, I would think so given the charity aspect.
― MaresNest, Sunday, 4 September 2022 11:18 (one year ago) link
Looks like there'll be a lot of crossover in the guests from yesterday, but a few LA-only appearances (Alanis, Joan Jett, etc). WVH again, Rush again, Homme again, Brian and Roger again.

That was fantastic. Aw, Pat hugging the kid at the end.
Has Dave had a perm?

Pat seems like such an open, joyful/caring dude. I think Dave’s just in need of a hot oil treatment. Dry scraggly just like mine :(
