The Foo Fighters - Classic or Dud?

Gaz!!!!

lol that he brought out his own mike?

I think this is the first time I've ever heard Rami's keyboard

Crowd thought they were getting Roger & Brian

FUCK YES

Holy shit is that Omar Hakim?

yep!!

Dave must have been like YYZ? Nah bruv

Geddy Lee & Geggy Tah, together at last

that was incredible

also 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

sam ryder owned that stage like he was born in wembley stadium holy shit

Oh damn, now that looks amazing

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 :)

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.

Paul :))

All this endless fucking around changing drumkits, I suppose it's apt

this has been good, but this Oh Darling is not.

disagree

this show is like christmas for me

also its been making me cry on the regular

so many of these bands/artists have already lost ppl in their lineups so the layers of meaning going on are v overwhelming at times

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.

Aurora <3 <3 <3

dave wasn’t kidding - shane hawkins pounded the shit outta those things!

i dunno if i’ve ever sat in my pyjamas singing & crying for this long in the middle of the day lol

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

this is really something

Oh God I just got to Times Like These 😭

yeah that destroyed me

like 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 to

you know? it’s so much to carry & perform
& try to power through

also rufus taylor did an amazing job
half thought to myself shit if this is an audition he’s got the job, the whole band was looking at him with heart-eyes emojis

He also looks kinda like Taylor, minus 20 years.

right!? crazy

taylor minus taylor

Son of Taylor

I wonder if MTV or someone is planning to stream the Los Angeles gig, I would think so given the charity aspect.

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.

oh great! cool that Alanis will perform <3

here's the complete clip of "my hero" with shane hawkins

cannot describe the way this makes me feel

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 :(

Par Smear lost band members in the Germs, Nirvana and now in Foo Fighters, too

Shane looks like he stepped out of a 70s Disney animation. Beautiful clip, one thing I really enjoyed was the band working with him to keep it all stuck together so well. Wonderful musical and human skills.

I only caught a moment of highlights but I enjoyed the guy from the Darkness out there in a silver jump suit open to the pubes.

Saw 60 seconds of "My Hero" and I was shattered, I don't know how I could manage to watch the whole concert.

Sam still pretty shook that Gaz and the lads put their differences aside to reform.

Pat Smear lost band members in the Germs, Nirvana and now in Foo Fighters, too

I hadn’t thought about this, but yeah.

yeah well that happens when you live to be 150 like Pat Smear

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

Of all the drums at this event Lars is about the last one I would pick to play an AC/DC song given his extreme allergy to anything close to a groove

The Pretenders I thought were great

james gang reunion was my personal fave but i enjoyed pretty much everything

i think i like the Medicine at Midnight album more now than i did than when it came out

love dies young is v good?

Sounds like they are officially carrying on without Hawkins (if that was in doubt):
