The full 53-song setlist from the Taylor Hawkins tribute concert in Los Angeles
On Tuesday night, the surviving members of Foo Fighters and a swathe of their friends from the music world, old and new, assembled at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum to celebrate the life of late drummer Taylor Hawkins with a memorable rock concert.
The concert came following its counterpart held at London’s Wembley Stadium earlier this month. As the tribute was brought home to the States, a new, larger ensemble of rock royalty joined Foo Fighters on stage to honour their fallen member.
Tuesday’s proceedings were kicked off with an acoustic rendition of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ performed by Grohl’s 16-yer-old daughter, Violet, featuring Alain Johannes. This was followed by a short set from the surviving Foo Fighters, Blink-182’s Travis Barker and Joan Jett, who performed two of the latter’s biggest hits from the ‘80s, ‘Cherry Bomb’ and ‘Bad Reputation’.
Later in the evening, Miley Cyrus teamed up with Foo Fighters and Def Leppard for an extended version of Leppard’s 1983 classic ‘Photograph’, and Justin Hawkins took to the stage with late Foo Fighters drummer’s side project, The Coattail Riders, to perform a four-song set.
During the closing set, Foo Fighters welcomed Dave Chapelle to the stage to cover Radiohead’s 1992 debut single, ‘Creep’, which they had previously covered with Hawkins at Madison Square Garden, New York City, last summer.
