If this doesn’t go down as one of the best concerts of the year, there is something wrong with the world. Last night at The Forum in Los Angeles, the Foo Fighters celebrated Dave Grohl’s 46th birthday with a bash that will go down in rock lore. A concert that starts off with Kiss’ Paul Stanley joining the Foo for “Detroit Rock City” and “Do You Love Me?,” then proceeds into the group being joined by the likes of Perry Farrell on Jane’s Addictions “Mountain Song” and the Rolling Stones’ “Miss You,” Trombone Shorty on “This Is A Call,” Alice Cooper performing “School’s Out” and “I’m Eighteen,” Zakk Wylde helped out on Black Sabbath’s “N.I.B.” and “Fairies Don’t Wear Boots,” Tenacious D and Guns n’ Roses guitarist Slash covering Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” and Queen’s “Tie Your other Down,” along with a set of Foo Fighters classics….oh, and did we forget to mention David Lee Roth coming out for “Panama” and “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love,” (yeah, that went down too), is easily the front-runner for the show of the year.
So, what else is there to say, other than, screw everybody else that was in attendance to witness that last night? Enjoy some videos from the show!
