Second Taylor Hawkins Tribute Show

Yesterday (Sept. 27), the second Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert took place at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, California. The 53-song set featured dozens of guest stars performing original songs and covers with Foo Fighters closing out the memorable night with 13 songs, 12 of their own and a cover of Radiohead’s “Creep” with comedian Dave Chapelle.

The first star-studded tribute show was held on Sept. 3 at London’s Wembley Stadium where a total of 50 songs were played and Paul McCartney even joined Foo Fighters onstage to play a pair of The Beatles cover selections.

Opening the night was Dave Grohl’s daughter Violet, who was accompanied by Chilean multi-instrumentalist Alain Johannes on a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.”

That gave way to Joan Jett and Blink-182’s Travis Barker joining Foo Fighters for a cover of The Runaways’ classic track “Cherry Bomb” and Jett’s own “Bad Reputation.” It was quite a high-energy kick following Violet’s more somber opening and there was no looking back for the rest of the night.

Hawkins’ cover band Chevy Metal graced the stage, as did his side project The Coattail Riders, while other highlights included Wolfgang Van Halen again paying tribute to his late father, Eddie Van Halen, this time swapping out “On Fire’ for “Panama” while “Hot For Teacher,” which was played at the London tribute show, remained in the set.

Rush were joined on drums by Grohl, Red hot Chili Peppers’ Chad Smith and Tool’s Danny Carey, with each playing one song apiece with the prog rock legends.

Miley Cyrus joined Def Leppard, Queen and the Foos played a handful of songs together and so much more as well.
