re: Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert Sep 3, 2022

Got dusty in here for most of the FF set.

Amazing tribute - I fricked off for SIX frickING HOURS and didn't miss CFB for a second.

How long did they end up playing?

Damn.

Skipping around and caught when Grohl did “Times”, dude lost it… sad to see. Can’t imagine how horrible he feels to lose Kurt and then the man he called his best friend.

Well that sucks. This if from the Foos website

I have the CBS special on but this is not what I wanted. So frustrating. Hopefully we can watch the full concert tomorrow or later this week. Husband is gonna be pissed when I tell him.

How do you condense six hours into 45ish min??

I was halfway through on YouTube and MTV just set the video to private?? Wtf?

Paramount+ said they would have it on demand at 9CDT.

I should have watched this yesterday instead of football. I'm watching a 45 minute thing now on Paramount+. Wolfie was awesome, how does Chrissie Hynde still sound amazing? Brian Johnson and Lars now. I'll catch the whole thing later today.

ETA: I would pay good money to see Luke Spiller with Queen instead of Adam Lambert.

Or Mark Martel who naturally sounds like a combo of Mercury and Jeff Buckley. Quick story, we used to attend one of those semi modern mega churches back in early 2000’s. I was not a fan of the format and their P&W rock show. Grew up in WV, baptized in creek in a country church. Anyway, my wife talked me into sitting up front one Sunday for the music and preacher man came out and said the Christian band “Down Here” was passing through, needed a place to crash and would lead P&W and follow with a set of a few of their original tunes. As soon as Mark Martel started singing my jaw hit the floor and I nearly fell out of my seat. He not only resembled a distant relative of Freddie he had the most amazing voice and was also ripping some killer leads on a Gibby LP gold top. After that service I immediately went out and bought all of their music. Years later he would go on to audition for Queen. If you’ve never heard him check out the vids below. He also can sing anything from opera to pop to metal. He’s an amazing talent and plays multiple instruments.
