Taylor Hawkins Tribute

[groovaholic]

If you’re not watching, you should: it’s been pretty epic so far, and all the performances have been fantastic.

It’s live on Paramount+ at the moment, but CBS will rebroadcast it tonight
(they probably need several hours to edit out the F-bombs)

Set your DVR!

It's on the MTV YouTube channel too...

Chrissie's voice is amazing still, damn she sounded great...

I thought the same.

James Gang is on now: Joe Walsh’s guitar playing is good, but his voice hasn’t held up like Chrissie

The Jeff Buckley songs sounded fantastic; I couldn’t get over that Violet Grohl is only 16, singing SUCH demanding songs in front of a crowd that size.

I dropped in during her last song and had no idea who she was. But yeah, I wouldn’t have been able to do that when I was 16. Or now.

The extended dead time in between the acts is weird, though. Maybe that will get better as the show progresses.

heck yeah on the James Gang. Lots of great riffs outta that guy over the years....check out that bass, looks like a fender proto precision

It’s all been so good! But so far the highlight for me has been the return of Them Crooked Vultures!!!

I was shocked to see that Stewart just turned 70 last month; whatever his fitness regime is, I need to adopt it! I want to be able to play with that much fire at 70

Josh Homme's Bowie voice on Lets Dance was crazy good. Also, Geddy's bass sound was amazing during the mini Rush set.

 

[muggsy]

The whole show has been fantastic. TCV was a highlight for me but there have been many. Wolfgang VH shredding on Hot for Teacher was another one. Camerawork and live sound have been surprisingly excellent too. Usually there are many more technical glitches on a show like this.

Omar Hakim killing it on YYZ.

He's so damn smooth, its crazy. Saw him on the Dream of the Blue Turtles tour waaaay back when. With that other thread going, i really think rush, live, is better than live versions of pink....just say'n, lol

What a great show. Started watching at the very beginning and just finished. Wow!

 

[groovaholic]

Absolutely!

There were a couple flubs - but it was almost 6 hours of great performances.

check out the version of no son of mine from MSG, she nails it…

Of the fill in guest drummers, Travis might fit in well for a touring FF in the future. I know there are lots that would be capable, but he hits them hard like Taylor did thats for sure.

Rush was absolutely great! So good to hear Geddy and Alex playing again. I miss Neil, but Omar and Dave sounded great. Fitting tribute to Taylor.
