Streaming live.

It’s like LiveAid but a 21st century rock special.

The Foos are the backing band generally with Dave having turns on every instrument but Brian Johnson is killing the AC/DC set at the moment!

Brian Johnson looked like he was having heart attack at the end of that. Great stuff :bowdown:

Queen up now I think. Been watching it for a couple of hours as I missed the start of it.

Only just realised this was being streamed - Dave Grohl struggling to get through the start of Times Like These brought a lump to the throat

That 12 year old drummer was very impressive - she showed no nerves playing such a massive gig.

Missed the Rush, Queen and AC/DC stuff but even though I’m not a huge FF fan this is all very good and a great tribute to Taylor.

Sam Ryder impressed me when singing with Queen on Somebody to Love, you could see Brian passing judgement on the high note near the end, looks like he approved.

Shane Hawkins... Wow.

Genuinely plays like his dad. Hits so hard.

I could see Josh Freese (pink hair, played a fair bit earlier in the show) as the next Foos drummer. Seemed to have absolutely nailed the parts and suited the style.

Travis Barker was great and they chose the right songs for him (Pretender and Monkey Wrench).

Jealous of a couple of mates who were sidestage for the whole thing. Them Crooked Vultures - Gunman. What a tune.

I was there, it was a brilliant show

obviously some of the acts I had high hopes for (and they didn't disappoint), but there were a few that I'd probably never necessarily go out of my way to see- Supergrass, James Gang, Justin Hawkins for example who were brilliant

even Kesha who I'd snobbishly dismissed before the show was alright

wouldn't surprise me if Sam Ryder started touring with Queen now
