- “So this collection of friends and family and musicians, this is all brought together by him. We’re all connected here today by that one guy, bringing musicians that have never met, musicians that have never played together, all in one place at one time with all of you beautiful people to make f*cking noise for Taylor Hawkins.”
Grohl continued: “The last few days, we’ve been asking ourselves the same question after every rehearsal. We’ve been asking, ‘God, I wonder what Taylor would think of this? I wonder what Taylor would think to see all of these amazing people together making music.”
Grohl then ushered on an example of what he had just been talking about. “One of the people he recorded with not too long ago is here tonight to do a song I’m sure a lot of you know,” he said. “Would you please welcome Mr Mark Ronson to the stage right now.” He also introduced Jane’s Addiction’s Chris Chaney, Jason Falkner, backing vocalists Barbara, Sam and Laura, and his daughter, Violet Grohl.
The musicians walked down the runway of the stage to gather together. “I guess this one’s for all the legends tonight and if you wanna sing along with Violet and the rest of us, please feel free,” Ronson said before starting the cover of The Zutons’ ‘Valerie’.
"Valerie" is a song by English indie rock band the Zutons from their second studio album, Tired of Hanging Around (2006). The song was later covered by Mark Ronson, with lead vocals provided by Amy Winehouse, reaching number two on the UK Singles Chart in 2007.
The song's title and theme refer to an American friend of McCabe's who was in trouble for driving under the influence. The band's drummer, Sean Payne, called it a "musical postcard to her, saying he is having a hard time and can she come over and see him." In an interview with Vice magazine in June 2019, the subject of the song was revealed to be celebrity makeup artist Valerie Star. She explained that she met McCabe and how she got arrested for driving on a suspended license.
I own no rights to this song. All rights to this song belong to The Zutons

She’ll be fronting a sensational Indy band very soon. Can’t wait for that day.
She is so wonderful here, it's almost like a double tribute, the concert is for Taylor and the song is for Amy, the fact all of Wembley sang along just show how much London still loves and misses Amy Winehouse, so beautiful.
Very true 👍
The connection with the crowd. It’s everything. To have an intimate connection with a stadium crowd like that. That’s what it’s about. Tens of thousands of people singing along with you and the band. There is no more beautiful and moving experience than that in my mind. It’s transcendental. Awesome job.
Love this girl. She’s fearless. At her age I was throwing up before having to give a speech in my HS Lit class.
Wow, Dave Grohl's daughter is amazing! She has a beautiful voice. She's got great control, and natural smooth texture to her voice. She's born and bred to be a star! #AStarIsBorn
Violet Grohl - A star is born!
My god that is an astonishing number of people to play in front of. She sounds great!
I love her voice, it's so beautiful and unique.
I think she'll be a regular with the Foo Fighter in the future !
@TonesDroneVisuals I hope so! I'm seeing them at the end of the year when they come to Australia. Would be amazing if Violet came on stage to sing with her dad again.
Violet Grohl is so lovely and talented 😘🥰
@@sav99786she’s been a backup singer w foos for a couple years! i’m seeing them in aus too but shes stated that she most likely won’t be there as she’s in her final year of high school but she has said she’ll be attending more shows after she finishes🤭🤭
I totally agree
We felt her like a lost little bird on stage, unaware of her beauty and talent, hesitant, wavering
And her laughter at the end, like a light of life ❤
What a load of tosh! 😂
@@drwoo6090 Completely, but romantic people are easily fooled.
you're talking bullshit
@@darryl1319 yeah lol
but at the likes
crazy times
her voice is sweet and powerful
agreed
You can tell she was nervous up there, but she's brave! And can sing through her nerves. I love her voice, I hope she records an album some day.
Taylor would have been in awe of her right along with Dave. I’m glad someone posted a HQ version
You're welcome
what a legacy... Taylor and Dave must be so proud...
If you're wondering why this is here, it's because I like this version of this song but couldn't find a decent copy of it anywhere. Now that I have , I made my own version. I thought I'd share it to those who are interested. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
RIP Taylor Hawkins ❤
She has a very soulful voice.
Dads so proud
Go miss violet!
Okay, song bird. You didn’t have to be so perfect

Thank you SO much for clipping out and cleaning up the audio of this performance! I kept hoping someone would do it...I appreciate it! Do you think you'll do the same with Violet et all performing the two Jeff Buckley songs (Grace & Last Goodbye) that day/night?
Hi. Most likely. I just have to add a bit of peoples phone footage so the clip doesn't get totally blocked
This seems to be a mixture of official feed and crowd shots. interesting.
Yes. Because the official got blocked
she looks just like her mother
👍
Like an Angel😇🤍🎶
❤
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
👍
I would love to watch the clip of her singing Jeff Buckley's Grace,
It's on the list
i heard the original version of this for the first time last night..... gotta say i prefer this slow version sooo much more....
Yes. A lot of people think it was originally sung by Amy Winehouse. But she improved on the original.
@@TonesDroneVisuals i dunno about improved it.... ..good ..but i wouldnt go that far! :P
It’s really sad, that they are all joined together, by the poor souls who succumbed to drugs! 😢 Thankfully, my daughter beat the addiction, and is an even better person than she was before! ❤
Ok I like her, don’t kill me please BUT I’d really like to hear her cover a Hole song ❤❤❤❤❤ violet, drown soda , softer softest ❤❤❤❤
Lacking a bit of confidence but give it a few years and she will be major
👍
The Zutons
Yes
I just hope the Zutons are getting paid. Such a good band that no one knows about.
@@MrJoemono He said that the Amy Version paid his mortgage off and got him a boat
OMG she comes off like she doesn’t want to be there. Low energy and zero emotional inflection. The crowd made the song better and let’s give props to the background singers (and the musicians were fantastic). Ms. Grohl from 3rd base will do well if she puts in the work. If the name wasn’t Grohl I would have tuned out after the first few bars. It’s a MEH for me.
i cut her some slack, coz that was the biggest crowd shes sung infront of... and knowing it was being streamed too.. she was quite overwhelmed when she first came out to sing Buckleys "Last Goodbye" ...she stumbled a bit a the beginning on it, but holy hell did she make up for it... ive never heard anyone be able to sing that as good as Jeff did, but she fuckin nailed it!
She’s young and nervous. What a talent, though! Give her time…
You're insane. Go ask for a hug from somebody
She's very, very good, but she ain't Amy.
Both an improvement on the original version 👍
Studio Amy maybe, there are some huge live horror stories you're just sweeping under the rug here.
@@grilledspaghetti That hasn't been my experience. What percentage of the concerts you have seen would you say she was sub par at?
Relax. JC , it’s a tribute concert that includes friends and family.
