1. Rush reunion, literally sobbing while I watched them perform without Neil. 2. Taylor's son playing My Hero. 3. Wolfie VanHalen playing Hot For Teacher flawlessly, channeling his father.
My favorite moment? It is the crowd helping Dave to carry on. When Dave struggled after singing the lyrics “I’m a little divided”, the thousands and thousands of people in the crowd showed their love and support. I think it was both beautiful and heartbreaking.
When someone has already been part of a tragic and heartbreaking moment in music history as a member of one of the biggest, successful break-through bands in the 1990's......breaks down- one can only imagine how much mental strength it took to continue on.... I remember seeing Foo Fighters at a massive music festival in Atlanta back in '97. Before they went up on stage, I was standing in the 100yd long line for the bathrooms, looked over my shoulder....and about 20ft away from me I see Dave just walking around the crowd with a giant grin on his face. The only thing I could do was pull out the disposable camera I had a hope one of the pictures would turn out.....and one did.
@@nicholasling7640 I don't know how Dave or the rest of the band did it... That is some massive inner strength that is beyond comprehension... Especially Dave, Taylor and Dave were tighter than brothers. That 25year bond was as solid of a bond you can possibly have with your best friend...if you are even lucky enough to actually have such a friend and unity while you are on this planet.
Freddy been dead a long time. I don’t think queen with a new singer is quite the same as before, just like William duval singing old Alice In Chains songs. Just not for me.
Dave has really lost some of the most important people in his life and in some pretty horrific ways and he always picks up keeps going. I genuinely respect the shit out of that man.
He played in his style, which i didn't like because he wasted too much energy in the wrong way for that kind of music, but his attitude sold the songs to those who didn't even know Rush. And i really appreciated him inviting Geddy and Alex: the picture of Neil and Taylor was really touching.
Wolfgang was on fire! I was mesmerized by his performance. It brought back some memories... And the pre loved guitar, what's the story behind that? Awesome show for an awesome humble musician who was a light in this otherwise dark world we're left with...
I feel like this tribute concert wasn't really all about Taylor Hawkins passing, instead it was basically a rally to get people interested in rock n roll music again. Look at all the artists that joined the Foo Fighters on stage so far.
@@sonicjet7759 i doubt tayler hawkins would have wanted a sad and sorrowful set. they are celebrating his life and did much to honor him of course dave grohl cares so much for taylor.
The best thing about this entire show was that it was really just all about the love of music & coming together to heal & honor a friend. It wasn’t about who was the bigger star or who could upstage who or any of that usual bs that these things tend to have. It was friends just doing what they loved. Absolutely no one but the likes of Taylor & Dave could have done this. & also, Shane freaking Hawkins. My god!!
My favorite moment is when Dave sings Times like These. I think we all felt that. Losing a close friend like hurts. But they pulled through and gave Taylor a beautiful tribute.
Dave Grohl is such a cornerstone in the music industry. He connects the classic rock world with the new rock world and beyond. Seeing all these artist paying tribute to Taylor, Dave worked so hard to gather literal legends to pay tribute to his brother. RIP Taylor Hawkins. You leave behind a legacy.
He’s actually friends with a lot of these musicians having met them throughout his career. His book the storyteller is a really good read and mentions so many famous people, that he is so humbled and starstruck to be in the company of.
@@Rainbowgrrl yes. Dave demanded everyone get the experimental shot… even though Taylor was very opposed to it. Dave should be asked about this and forced to give a real answer. Maybe admit he got conned by the whole thing and apologize for being a gullible zealot.
Shane was it for me. A special moment that would have made Taylor so proud. He held it together, though you could see his pain and performed for his Dad..his Hero
Queen is my all-time favorite band. I've no doubt that our Freddie Mercury was with you all as you honored Taylor on his special night. Rest in peace, Taylor Hawkins.
2 best parts were Taylor’s son playing , and Wolfgang playing his dads songs when said he wouldn’t do in the past, but it was amazing, he could not have played that any better.
Amazing show stacked with musical greats, It was a privilege to be there. Emotional day with lot's of memories that will last forever! Taylor's son on the drums was a special moment, Taylor would've been so proud! RIP HERO!
I was there on Saturday. I struggle to pick a best moment as it was such a unique experience with a lineup that will never be repeated. The fact that it was a spectacular tribute to Taylor is my best moment and a memory that I'll treasure for the rest of my days.
To go thru 50 years of life on this planet and every single person whoever knew Taylor or had any contact with him to have nothing but positive and uplifting things to say and powerful memories of a beautiful soul is so rare no words are fit to describe such a positive and impactful spirit. I never met him, just observed from a distance, but the truth is blatantly obvious, he was genuine. His light was radiant and magical. Purity that can not be measured because of its enormity. If I could have even 10% of Taylors aura I would be overwhelmingly gracious. RIP Taylor...Your light still burns bright down here and will continue long after we're all gone.
Truer words have never been spoken, I will be a fan forever. Alot of my heros have passed so tragically... Blessed with the legacies of their music! Such a beautiful expression of admiration, kudos!
@@Throckmorton.Scribblemonger unfortunately, the OD in Columbia was probably a fatal lapse of judgement. The cocaine in Columbia is the purest cocaine on the planet. The cocaine in America has been tainted with various forms of cut by the time it reaches the street.
Live your life to leave an impression on people, that when your time comes you are remembered with the same passion that Taylor’s circle remembers him. That’s all.
Seeing Stewart Copeland and Roger Taylor were my favourite moments. It was so nice to see Taylor's biggest heroes and influences come out to pay their tributes to him, as he so often did to them.
I think Wolf Van Halen's performance was a key highlight, especially considering how much Taylor loved Van Halen (and how amazing the performance itself was!).
I was there Saturday night, and it's quiet frankly one of the most amazing 6 hours of music I have ever heard, the emotion in the stadium was phenomenal, watching Dave Grohl singing it's times like these with the crowd carrying him through was a moment I will never forget along with the final song Everlong it was a fitting end and tribute to such a great man.
How did Geddy and Alex not make this list? The love between, Grohl, Hawkins, and Rush spanned over a decade and they inducted Rush into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They lost their soul mate in Neal as did Dave with Taylor. Too many strings in life that entertwined them for them not to be mentioned.
Oh man, I'm still in limbo after being able to be at such a monumentos tribute to such a great drummer... hairs on the back of your neck kind of stuff. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
Oh my heart... Dave crying during Times Like These. This man lost two of his best friends during his musical career, and he is one of the most amazing and inspirational musicians of the last few plus decades. What a quality human being. Taylor was an absolute beast on the drums. What a sad loss for the music world.
While the person can never be replaced... There are many talented drummers out there who will do Taylor an honor and play for the Foos.... I hope Dave continues.
@@Rainbowgrrl you're right. It should all day so just keep an eye on the MTV channel. Because it's a stream, once you open it you'll be able to go back and forth as desired until it goes private. Cheers Jakki!
Death sucks, ive lived through too much of it, but its awesome to see someone do Queen like Taylor always did. Freddie and everyone will live forever!!!!!
Taylor was there in spirit with Kurt, Eddie, George and John. I believe they were there watching their friends, their family. They would’ve been proud of everyone.
This is such a well deserved, beautiful tribute to Taylor. We’ll love and miss him forever, but kudos to the Foos for giving him and his fans a memorable goodbye.
I will honestly admit that this show had me in tears. The Foo's are a part of the soundtrack of my life. 3 Travis Barker did Justice to his friend and fellow drummer. Frenzied and frantic with incredibly precise control. 2 Nandi Bushell. A 12 year drum prodigy showed us all, we need to support music and talents like hers! 1 Shane Hawkins. I wish I could take his pain. What this young man has had to endure. Talented and gifted. He gave his dad a proper sendoff and DID HIM PROUD!
Were the crowd as disinterested as they seemed in person? Standing seemed half full, and from what I heard on the live feed, they needed prompting to get above a dull murmur...
@@richardhammer187 na, standing was completely packed, only a little space behind the sound towers for visibility reasons. The crowd wasn't silent at all, but I gotta say, as a Spaniard, that British crowd is a little more tame. I was jumping and shouting a lot more than the people around me, but everyone did sing along most of the parts.
There were sound sound issues at the start so crowd might have seemed luke warm, but once it really got going the atmosphere was amazing. Standing was rammed and jumping, at least where we were!
@@richardhammer187 no the crowd really was shit, I don't get how considering I'd have given an arm and a leg to be there like a lot of people would have. It's as if they didn't know ANYONE playing and would just stand head still like robots watching everything, including the Foos. I had some guy texting and looking bored during Foos in front of me, I almost asked him why he bothered coming. Normally British crowds are better than this, but Foo Fighters generally has this kind of audience in the UK at least.
It's hard to pick a favourite moment with how the evening rolled on. It just got bigger and bigger, snowballing into one of the most spectacular evenings of music, and it was sensational to be there live to witness it unfold. Watching Shane play My Hero was something nobody is ever going to forget. And Dave singing most of Times Like These solo, and by solo, I mean with 85,000 people singing along with him, and getting behind him when he got emotional. Anybody that was fortunate enough to be there live is never going to forget just how special it was of an evening in memory of the late, great, Taylor Hawkins.
My nose got sniffy, and my eyes started dripping while watching this video tribute to a really cool drummer. Taylor was a gift, and he didn't forget where he came from.
That looks like it was an amazing concert and wonderful tribute. -- Also, this video is a great compilation piece, well edited and well written. Great job to the creative team there!
Just being there was my true favourite moment, but have to say Wolfgang VH and the Brian Johnson segments and Rufus Taylor on Best of You left me breathless and just pumping with adrenaline, then Dave's opening to the FF segment and Shane on drums for My Hero left me in tears. Was also great to see Queen & Sir Paul, two acts I've toyed with seeing for years and never done it.. This day at Wembley will live with me forever..
god imagine being there, honestly seems like a once in a lifetime concert all in the name of Taylor. he may have passed but his spirit and memory live on through peoples actions like this. I know when i die the people who love and respected me will honor me. just goes to show how massively taylor and foo fighters are love and respected not just by their fans but also their musical peers. You did it Taylor you made it and then some and then some more, Supremely amazing stuff wish i was there more than anything.
I think my favorite moment I saw before MTV made the stream private as I was watching, Wolf melting our faces with Hot for Teacher and Rush taking the stage.
Beautiful celebration of Taylor’s life! I’m hoping they’ll eventually have the full show for those of us who can’t travel to California. I’d definitely pay to see it! So much love and genuine raw emotion from what I have seen. RIP Taylor! Loved by many, never forgotten! Much love and prayers to all!! ♥️
@@alangoosey9356 they might have, but the alerts for when it came on didn’t work though, and can’t find the full show that was streamed up on here now either 🤷♀️

I simply can't watch the whole show, i always end up in tears. Taylor was such a huge inspiration to me and his passing has hit me hard unfortunately, but watching his son hits those drums i was amazed they didn't fall apart. RIP Taylor
Stewart Copeland and Geddy Lee/Alex lifeson, who you ignored in your list. Discovering that there is a new generation of rockers in the wings: Violet Grohl, Rufus Taylor and Shane Hawkins.
Thank you to all the guests for being so generous with their talent, time, and love being a part of this show. Sir Paul McCartney was really a joy to see. Taylor's son, Shane, blew the house off with his passionate performance. Taylor is above, prouder than ever.
Outstanding performances from Joe Walsh, Wolfgang Van Halen, Rush and of course the Foos ❤️ Star of the show …. Shane Hawkins, who gave his all for his father; immense 💔
My fave moment although it brought me to tears was when Dave was singing Times Like These and began to cry and the crowd encouraged him and cheered him on. That was amazing! Second was when Shane played the drums on My Hero. Taylor would’ve been so very proud! And then the epic moment was Roger & Rufus and Brian May…Queen is my all-time favorite band and it was fantastic seeing them honor Taylor Hawkins!
Amazing and heartbreaking all at the same time. You can tell how awesome of a guy Taylor was by who, and how many people showed up to at tribute. There’s a pretty large variety of drumming styles up there. The best part was obviously Taylor’s son Shane Hawkins playing “My Hero.” 🤟🏻🥁🎵
Dave and Taylor have the biggest smiles. I will miss Taylor, but Dave and the rest of the band will help me get through it. To soon and so much to do! Love you brothers.
Taylor had so many legendary friends. It's crazy. Didnt even consider himself to be one of them. I had a hard time with his passing. Still doesnt feel real and I didn't even know him
Watched this whole concert live glad I woke up and went to UA-cam I didn’t remember the day this was playing but it was a historic concert we will remember forever
Its still heartbreaking that Taylor is gone. That was such a shock. The whole concert was sad to me but of course, his son playing drums to Hero was the pinnacle of amazing and sad
What was your favourite moment from the concert?
Supergrass singing Alright
Probably Them Crooked Vultures return😩🥲
Them Crooked Vultures and Nandi Bushell for giving the seasoned drum pro's a run for their money
1. Rush reunion, literally sobbing while I watched them perform without Neil.
2. Taylor's son playing My Hero.
3. Wolfie VanHalen playing Hot For Teacher flawlessly, channeling his father.
James Gang.
Favourite moment has to be Taylor’s son playing drums on My Hero…..one of those spine tingling experiences.
yup
Indeed! 👏
It was just perfect.
Absolutely
Totally agree ! Amazing experience

Shane Hawkins playing " My Hero" as a tribute to his dad was my favorite moment!
Lol. Really? Hi a dad didn’t even bother lay drums on that album
My Heroin.
The older I get, the more I realize Queen is the center of rock and roll. Amazing concert, all these legends coming together, pure bliss. RIP Hawkins
Freddy been dead a long time. I don’t think queen with a new singer is quite the same as before, just like William duval singing old Alice In Chains songs. Just not for me.
Terrible band imo
@@drone_blues_ queen is not the centre of rock n roll stop lmao. Listen to more shit

Dave has really lost some of the most important people in his life and in some pretty horrific ways and he always picks up keeps going. I genuinely respect the shit out of that man.
@@fyoutube4226 are you Fucking kidding?! That’s not the way to talk about such a great man, shame on you!
It's all you can do mate especially when you have kids. Just keep on powering on and remember the good times and not the horrors 👍🏻
Rest in Peace. Virginia Hanlon Grohl. Let Taylor know that we miss him!!!!!!
He is the Keanu Reeves of the music world.
@@Squall576582 so true
Seeing Geddy and Alex on stage again was pure bliss, great performance by Grohl on 2112 and Working Man
Couldn't agree more!!
He played in his style, which i didn't like because he wasted too much energy in the wrong way for that kind of music, but his attitude sold the songs to those who didn't even know Rush. And i really appreciated him inviting Geddy and Alex: the picture of Neil and Taylor was really touching.
Absolutely! What a moment!
@@nicholaspennesi4973 two huge drummers gone.
Absolutely
WVH was my highlight. Him honoring both Taylor and his father was just beautiful.
I think WVH played those two songs exactly if not better than his dad, it was crazy. lmao
@@capt_howdy can never be played better than the King! It WAS phenomenal!!
Wolfgang was on fire! I was mesmerized by his performance. It brought back some memories...
And the pre loved guitar, what's the story behind that?
Awesome show for an awesome humble musician who was a light in this otherwise dark world we're left with...
I think what this concert also showed is that Rock n Roll is not dead!!
I hope the music industry was paying attention.
I feel like this tribute concert wasn't really all about Taylor Hawkins passing, instead it was basically a rally to get people interested in rock n roll music again. Look at all the artists that joined the Foo Fighters on stage so far.
If Dave Grohl really cared about Taylor Hawkins, he would of had a nice softer somber Acoustic concert honoring the late memory of his friend.
It's dead to music industry & media..they'll promote and overexpose ANY genre that'll currently popular & makes $

Dave Grohl is such a stand up dude. Been a fan for a long time. Gotta love what he does for music !!!! RIP Taylor you are definitely missed!!
Stand up? I'm pretty sure I saw him perform while sitting in a chair.
Sam Ryder was so happy to there. A fan boy celebrating a fan boy. It was very touching.

"Brotherhood of the stick" 💖
@kevvcop that’s very different from how I perceived that comment to mean
Seeing Stewart Copeland and Roger Taylor were my favourite moments. It was so nice to see Taylor's biggest heroes and influences come out to pay their tributes to him, as he so often did to them.

Hands down Shane Hawkins playing drums & Dave singing Times like these!
Thanks for the clips, RIP Taylor we.will allways remember!
By far Shane playing drums on "My Hero" was fcking bad ass and really a tear jerker
He left a huge hole in everyones heart. What a lovely son he has smiling all the way like his dad
How did Geddy and Alex not make this list? The love between, Grohl, Hawkins, and Rush spanned over a decade and they inducted Rush into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They lost their soul mate in Neal as did Dave with Taylor. Too many strings in life that entertwined them for them not to be mentioned.
It pains me too that the list doesn't include Rush, perfectly worded!
I agree there Buddy! Rush was one of the highlights in my opinion they should have been acknowledged!
Maybe they will be at the one in LA.
I was just wondering the same thing!!
Actually, they were at Wembley. Just didn't make that guy's top ten although they were awesome.
No geddy and Alex on the list! Need to remember they lost neil too but it was amazing to see them play again!
Sam Ryder smashed it but then Shane took it out of this world, the kid is amazing.
Sam Ryder seems like a real decent chap as well, just happy to be doing his thing. Shane was incredible, spine tingling stuff.
Oh man, I'm still in limbo after being able to be at such a monumentos tribute to such a great drummer... hairs on the back of your neck kind of stuff. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
We're so stoked that Taylor was honored in Wembley!! It's the dream concert venue.
Oh my heart... Dave crying during Times Like These. This man lost two of his best friends during his musical career, and he is one of the most amazing and inspirational musicians of the last few plus decades. What a quality human being. Taylor was an absolute beast on the drums. What a sad loss for the music world.
I'd like to see Travis Barker play with these guys every once in a while. Watching Taylor's son got me crying.. Rest in Peace Taylor
The bravery from Dave during the whole show!
Taylors son playing My hero... on father's day... really makes a grown man cry
As if they completley forgot about Wolfgang Van Halen playing "Hot For Teacher". That was F'kin awsome!
Rush. By far the biggest highlight (even without Neil).
Hawkings Junior stole the show. I can't wait to see more of him!
If Neil Peart was still alive and still kickin, you know he woulda been there. Those two were tight. I bet they're both jammin up there somewhere
God’s got one hell of a percussion department.
I'm so sorry Dave and band. Taylor was so awesome and can never be replaced. I met him and he was so kind. Hugs to you all
While the person can never be replaced... There are many talented drummers out there who will do Taylor an honor and play for the Foos.... I hope Dave continues.
This whole thing was an emotional rollercoaster, AWESOME.

Was sooo good
Favorite was when alex & Geddy from Rush played, after also losing their drummer.
My nose got sniffy, and my eyes started dripping while watching this video tribute to a really cool drummer. Taylor was a gift, and he didn't forget where he came from.
I cried right along with Dave.
Me too 😭😭
That looks like it was an amazing concert and wonderful tribute.

Also, this video is a great compilation piece, well edited and well written. Great job to the creative team there!
Love Roger Taylor’s übercool short reply “sure was” at 4:01.
when they came out and stood before us i could honestly have clapped for 6 hours. Unbelievable concert and thrilled that I got to see it. RIP TH
Just being there was my true favourite moment, but have to say Wolfgang VH and the Brian Johnson segments and Rufus Taylor on Best of You left me breathless and just pumping with adrenaline, then Dave's opening to the FF segment and Shane on drums for My Hero left me in tears.
Was also great to see Queen & Sir Paul, two acts I've toyed with seeing for years and never done it..
This day at Wembley will live with me forever..
god imagine being there, honestly seems like a once in a lifetime concert all in the name of Taylor. he may have passed but his spirit and memory live on through peoples actions like this. I know when i die the people who love and respected me will honor me. just goes to show how massively taylor and foo fighters are love and respected not just by their fans but also their musical peers. You did it Taylor you made it and then some and then some more, Supremely amazing stuff wish i was there more than anything.
!! What a way to honour a brother !! , you are the man Dave . Taylor is up there smiling down at ya’ . Cheers
I think my favorite moment I saw before MTV made the stream private as I was watching, Wolf melting our faces with Hot for Teacher and Rush taking the stage.
He was such a great singer also . Dude was full of talent
SHANE, took everything to another level.
Wow. 😲😱🤯
Me heart wasn't ready. 💔😭
Beautiful celebration of Taylor’s life! I’m hoping they’ll eventually have the full show for those of us who can’t travel to California. I’d definitely pay to see it! So much love and genuine raw emotion from what I have seen. RIP Taylor! Loved by many, never forgotten! Much love and prayers to all!! ♥️
They streamed whole show from Wembley on UA-cam, can't see why they wouldn't do same
@@alangoosey9356 they might have, but the alerts for when it came on didn’t work though, and can’t find the full show that was streamed up on here now either 🤷♀️
@@Rainbowgrrl It got removed after a day unfortunately. Paramount have the rights, so I imagine it'll be on there
Beautiful show
It really was.
Shane Hawkins was by far the best moment! ♥️
When someone has already been part of a tragic and heartbreaking moment in music history as a member of one of the biggest, successful break-through bands in the 1990's......breaks down on stage- one can only imagine how much mental strength it took to continue on....
I remember seeing Foo Fighters at a massive music festival in Atlanta back in '97. Before they went up on stage, I was standing in the 100yd long line for the bathrooms, looked over my shoulder....and about 20ft away from me I see Dave just walking around the crowd with a giant grin on his face. The only thing I could do was pull out the disposable camera I had a hope one of the pictures would turn out.....and one did.
I simply can't watch the whole show, i always end up in tears. Taylor was such a huge inspiration to me and his passing has hit me hard unfortunately, but watching his son hits those drums i was amazed they didn't fall apart. RIP Taylor
Amazing show and a touching and fitting tribute to Taylor. Already a fan of Sam Ryder but he smashed that out the stadium.
Stewart Copeland and Geddy Lee/Alex lifeson, who you ignored in your list. Discovering that there is a new generation of rockers in the wings: Violet Grohl, Rufus Taylor and Shane Hawkins.
The best tribute ever to a human being
Poor Dave. I bet he never thought he’d have to go through all of this again…
Watching Foo's and Gallagher combine is an experience I wish I could of been a part of 😭😭😭 Rest in peace Taylor 🤘
It must have been hard for Dave to experience another bandmate's sudden passing. And to the rest of them... courage and strength to carry on...
Lucky enough to be there, it was 6 hours plus where each and every artist gave 300 percent. Truly awesome.
The lights up at Wembley was the most amazing sight to behold.
I also personally enjoyed supergrass “alright”
They organized this pretty quick. Makes you wonder why a Van Halen tribute concert still hasn't happened.
@@robbspeck5135 David Lee Roth is also a reason they can't get the tribute show off the ground.
Thank you to all the guests for being so generous with their talent, time, and love being a part of this show. Sir Paul McCartney was really a joy to see. Taylor's son, Shane, blew the house off with his passionate performance. Taylor is above, prouder than ever.
Outstanding performances from Joe Walsh, Wolfgang Van Halen, Rush and of course the Foos ❤️ Star of the show …. Shane Hawkins, who gave his all for his father; immense 💔
My fave moment although it brought me to tears was when Dave was singing Times Like These and began to cry and the crowd encouraged him and cheered him on. That was amazing! Second was when Shane played the drums on My Hero. Taylor would’ve been so very proud! And then the epic moment was Roger & Rufus and Brian May…Queen is my all-time favorite band and it was fantastic seeing them honor Taylor Hawkins!
If they continue, I think Taylor would have been quick to say Rufus should be the one to take my place...he had a special relationship with him.
Yes that would be great! Think Rufus plays with the Darkness though.
Just be grateful the world got to experience his talent not any one particular favourite because they all should be seen as favourites
Amazing and heartbreaking all at the same time.
You can tell how awesome of a guy Taylor was by who, and how many people showed up to at tribute. There’s a pretty large variety of drumming styles up there.
The best part was obviously Taylor’s son Shane Hawkins playing “My Hero.” 🤟🏻🥁🎵
Dave and Taylor have the biggest smiles. I will miss Taylor, but Dave and the rest of the band will help me get through it. To soon and so much to do! Love you brothers.
Nothing but love all around.
Geddy and Alex "Rush"❤️💯
Taylor had so many legendary friends. It's crazy. Didnt even consider himself to be one of them. I had a hard time with his passing. Still doesnt feel real and I didn't even know him
🎶 Also, a great showcase of Rock ‘n’ Roll, that has been waning in the pop culture it seems. 🤔
Taylor Hawkins will live with us forever
Watched this whole concert live glad I woke up and went to UA-cam I didn’t remember the day this was playing but it was a historic concert we will remember forever
Its still heartbreaking that Taylor is gone. That was such a shock. The whole concert was sad to me but of course, his son playing drums to Hero was the pinnacle of amazing and sad
Um, it was not a "run-through" of My Hero. It was one of the best performances of the song ever!
Dave has lost alot in his life and still keeps trucking.. God bless you
Top 3 biggest moments in order: Liam walking on, Rock n Roll star, Live forever. Thank you and good night
