There's something so beautiful about this. Dave is extremely charismatic in this performance. He gives enough life to everyone in the audience to just smile, even though it's only an acoustic talk show performance. It's not that he did a fantastic job vocally or instrumentally, or a terrible one, it's about a man, a guitar, and an audience. When I watch this, I see people just being people, and celebrating life as it is now. It makes me almost cry every time I watch. thanks Dave ;)
I was thinking almost the opposite. He "skipped the crap" to get to the chorus, he told people to join in and he didn't do a particularly good job of singing it. I thought he butchered the song and the audience participation was contrived. Someone unassumingly covering this song and doing such a good job it moves people to sing along, that would be worth celebrating.
So many depressed defensive people in the comments. Dave Grohl has an extremely high respect for other musicians, and this cover was not meant to bash on Elton John Or to disrespect his music. He knows he can't hit all of the notes, and I'm sure if he cared he would have chose another song. This is just Dave going out on stage and having a little fun.
Dave Grohl's cover was a joke. why do you think he was talking to the crowd the entire time. This cover wasn't supposed to be serious good god. no one understands that! he was laughing through half of it.
Talk about reinventing himself. The guy came out of one he'll of a situation to become what I fear will be the last of the true Rock an Roll stars. God bless you Dave.
Hallo SOS Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been an arduous journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up!
What Grohl seems to do here is acknowledge both the pop-corniness and the true beauty of the song simultaneously. One can tell, watching this, that Grohl honestly regards the song to be great, despite what he sees as the absurd length of the verses relative to the chorus. He successfully pays homage to the song without a shred of a hint of taking himself too seriously. His talented performance is both funny and sincere, draped with a nonchalant coolness that is hard to replicate. This is likely the greatest performance of this song to which I have ever borne witness.

Gave me a whole new respect for Dave. I was a Nirvana fan, and never really gave him a chance. He's talented, funny, and can scream just like Sam Kinison. Awesome!...Plus I love Kilborn!

Dave was hoping the audience would sing along and was looking to have fun. He wasn't doing a serious solo performance. If you doubt his vocal talent as a live solo artist then watch his acoustic solo of Walk and The Pretender. Incredible.

Sometimes it's not about the voice, but instead about the attitude. And as you can see the crowd is having fun and in the end that's what matter's. Gotta love him.
MCFC ok Yeah I know I’m a huge Fruscinate fan. why are half the comments on this video about John Fruscinate? They’re not even about Elton’s version lmao. It’s all a competition to so many people
I respect that people like John Frusiantes cover more. But i like how Dave sings it. It makes it much more about the song and less about the preformance for me, And i like that.

Grohl is both great and really respected in musical circles. However, it must be hard for him to be on Network TV because it stifles a good 3/4ths of his vocabulary
serious question, why do people like Frusciante? RHCP are great and all, but they're guitar isn't that central to the band if u ask me. Just seems like people freak out over John cuz he's the guitarist of a band they really like but don't have an objective reason to why. What about him is soooooo good that Rolling Stone rated him higher in greatest guitarist of all time over so many more influential players?
Nicholas van Tol his a brilliant guitarist, he improvisations during songs are sweet. Don't get me wrong his not the most technical guitarist but he has so much funk it's untrue .
Idk bout funk dude, you want REAL funk ur talkin bands like the meters, the JB's and Sly Stone, RHCP and this frusciante borrow a lot of funk elements but they're hardly part of that genre, i really enjoy technical playing to an extent so maybe his improv is justBased on taste
Nicholas van Tol I personally think there's huge funk elements in a lot of John's playing style , I also wouldn't say they are "funk" . I Can understand why people think his not that good , but I personally think he deserves to be where he his today.
I'm not saying he's not good, he's a talented artist overall (making music in general) but his musician-ship I'd say is lacking for the podium he's put on
I had the pleasure of seeing the Foo open with an acoustic set for Bob Dylan at the X in St. Paul MN in '06 and it is still to this day the best overall live performance I have ever witnessed. I'm not even that big on the FF but Grohl is a natural performer, not just with the music but his entire act. You can tell how hard he has worked to become a polished storyteller, musician and comedian all rolled into one. Bob Dylan didn't stand a chance. While the Eagles are the best band I've ever heard from a Live vs. album standpoint, Dave is my favorite complete live performer. Interesting to think about where he would be with everything had Kurt not passed. Keep on rocking Mr Grohl!
i love how he said he wanted to "capture that magic" from Almost Famous..love that scene and anyone who is a fan of 70s rock n roll should watch that movie its great

I adore his way of talking to the crowd. I think the gum (which everyone is annoyed with- except me!) is to keep his energy level at bay. He's usually jumping around on stage!! He's incredible. Always. :) just more talented that he can do all this AND chew gum!! Love it!

I just meant Dave in a supermarket in Delaware, he waited till i clocked out for work then we had a solid 10 minute conversation in the cafe. Just so you guys know, this guy is the real deal. Super down to earth and a genuine good guy :)
In terms of impact & influence... Nirvana was the Beatles for Generation X, Red Hot Chili Peppers are our Stones, Pearl Jam was "the Who" Radiohead was is our Pink Floyd, Alice in Chains is our Black Sabbath & Soundgarden is our Led Zeppelin...... Kurt is our John Lennon & Dave Grohl is our Paul McCartney... Long Live Generation X
Years ago, during drunk karaoke I improvised "Hold me closer, Tina Yothers!" Probably the booze, but it made several people spew beer on the heads of the person in front of 'em. So funny I almost didn't make it through the song. To this day, when I hear that song I think of Family Ties.
never seen Almost Famous but "tiny dancer" is one of the many great classic Elton songs from the 70's. Dave can't be serious that he never heard it lol.
I'm so glad dave made a name for himself after Nirvana, so fucking awesome, he picked himself up after the band collapsed and just got to work. A true working man
+Jesper “Dib” Locher I didn't say it was a competition but by the way your communicating you think it is... All I said was Frusciante is better when was it wrong to voice a personal opinion?
+Jesper “Dib” Locher sorry Jesper but your acting like a doosh... It doesn't make it a fact by me saying Frusciante is better as the words are coming from my mind and I'm inputting them on here, it's you that perceives me to think that way when in fact it's me thinking it. I also replied to a comment from someone I assumed agreed as they said Frusicante so please don't tell me how my mind works it how something should be written.

And yet still people like Alyson Bateman above don't realise and have to comment "But it is the drummer from Nirvana" and whilst people get bites, unfortunately people will continue to bring out this joke. It's morphed into "Looks like that bloke from Foo Fighters" too.
ToWatchMusic I hope THAT was a joke too... I really hope you know he's a lead singer of the "Foo Fighters"... Not shitty ass Nickleback. LOL!!!! I love Dave Grohl!!!! He actually has an entire album that he did entirely on his own. He played two separate guitars, a bass guitar, drums of course, and sang... All on his own!!!! If you don't understand how this is possible... I wish you the best in life, and hope you educate yourself a little more on how recording studios work. I don't mean this part directly to you, ToWatchMusic... Only to those that say shit like, "That's impossible to play all instruments AT ONCE!!!!" Which he OBVIOUSLY didn't do. It was done in a recording studio. Which I find VERY obvious how it's done.

Deve Grohl is a damn fine example of hell yes. Humor, decency, talent together with humility and respect for those who came before... he can chew gum with his sphincter for all I care. Good man, wonderful creator and musician. Shut up.
I've always really loved Dave's sense of humor. He is the coolest dork that ever lived.

Yes, and he has to chew the gum, because his throat gets dry when we sings. I always wondered why he chewed it.

Love. Dave. :D
I was there screaming, I know the scream may sound female, but thats just how I get when I am around Grohl.
PseudoKirby Haha can you hear it in the video? Where is it?
Lmaooo I love that
Same (I am female).
Dave Grohl’s personality is part of the whole package that makes him so likeable!
Most aggressively that song has ever been sung. It's fascinating.
It's quite high for a male vocal, especially not opera-trained :P In the original Elton has to use falsetto to reach it.
Listen to John Frusciante sing it
Have ever heard john frusciante's?
Listen to John frusciante
Nah John fruiscante man he did it was better twice
"lets skip all the other crap and just get to the chorus"

It's crazy what became of Dave once Nirvana faded away. Thank God he's one of the ones who made it out of 90's alright. We miss those who didn't
He killed Kurt, 100%

He's way better then the drummer from nirvana
he is the drummer from nirvana
Crash Corpse Yeah man this guy's great but that drummer from Nirvana is a right pratt lol.
I've always felt that the drummer from Them Crooked Vultures is better
But they both aren't a match for Beelzeboss
Edgar Cruz nah the one drummer from Queens Of The Stone Age for that one song forgot it was way better
the singer from foo fighters is a good drummer

Grohl is both great and really respected in musical circles. However, it must be hard for him to be on Network TV because it stifles a good 3/4ths of his vocabulary
Is chewing gum part of his singing act usually? I thought this was too flippant and weak. I have less respect for him now.
Dexter Haven
He always chews gum when he plays.
Cade Bengert I only asked about his singing, silly, not "when he plays." I know he plays drums sometimes and does not sing during it.
He chews it when he sings too. There is a running joke that he has been chew the same piece since Nirvana.
I am very sorry but 4ths don't exist it is quarters not fourths so 3/4 not 3/4th
I love Dave
He might not have the greatest voice, but he puts his whole heart into his performance. Passion, man, passion.
Best person ever

***** Well, uh, since Gandhi was a pacifist that would kinda make sense that Dave Grohl would kick his ass.

The funny thing is...Dave Grohl is the last dude that would kick anybody's ass...he's one of the truly nice guys of rock. A grounded individual.
Dave acting like he’s to cool to have ever heard tiny dancer before that movie scene.
Most people *hadn't*. It wasn't till after that movie came out that it even hit 500k sold.
He did not even mention Elton John or lyrics by Bernie Taupin I found his version disrespectful.
John Frusciante does a killer cover of this song!
serious question, why do people like Frusciante? RHCP are great and all, but they're guitar isn't that central to the band if u ask me. Just seems like people freak out over John cuz he's the guitarist of a band they really like but don't have an objective reason to why. What about him is soooooo good that Rolling Stone rated him higher in greatest guitarist of all time over so many more influential players?

Nicholas van Tol I personally think there's huge funk elements in a lot of John's playing style , I also wouldn't say they are "funk" . I Can understand why people think his not that good , but I personally think he deserves to be where he his today.
I'm not saying he's not good, he's a talented artist overall (making music in general) but his musician-ship I'd say is lacking for the podium he's put on
I had the pleasure of seeing the Foo open with an acoustic set for Bob Dylan at the X in St. Paul MN in '06 and it is still to this day the best overall live performance I have ever witnessed. I'm not even that big on the FF but Grohl is a natural performer, not just with the music but his entire act.

While the Eagles are the best band I've ever heard from a Live vs. album standpoint, Dave is my favorite complete live performer. Interesting to think about where he would be with everything had Kurt not passed. Keep on rocking Mr Grohl!

What adds to the awesomeness is that Jason Lee looks like Dave Grohl in Almost Famous.

never seen Almost Famous but "tiny dancer" is one of the many great classic Elton songs from the 70's. Dave can't be serious that he never heard it lol.

What a beautiful man, what a beautifu song...
John Frusciante......
Frusciante is much better!! :)
+Jesper “Dib” Locher I didn't say it was a competition but by the way your communicating you think it is... All I said was Frusciante is better when was it wrong to voice a personal opinion?
+Jesper “Dib” Locher sorry Jesper but your acting like a doosh... It doesn't make it a fact by me saying Frusciante is better as the words are coming from my mind and I'm inputting them on here, it's you that perceives me to think that way when in fact it's me thinking it. I also replied to a comment from someone I assumed agreed as they said Frusicante so please don't tell me how my mind works it how something should be written.
+Jesper “Dib” Locher to be honest I didn't think we were having a discussion as questions are usually involved. We are not exchanging ideas your just telling me how I should write an opinion...

That dude looks like the drummer from Nirvana
If I had a pound for every time I saw that joke in a CZcams comments section, I'd be rich
And yet still people like Alyson Bateman above don't realise and have to comment "But it is the drummer from Nirvana" and whilst people get bites, unfortunately people will continue to bring out this joke.
It's morphed into "Looks like that bloke from Foo Fighters" too.
yeah but hes the singer from the band nickleback
Tom Andrews you would also be very fat
ToWatchMusic
I hope THAT was a joke too... I really hope you know he's a lead singer of the "Foo Fighters"... Not shitty ass Nickleback. LOL!!!!
I love Dave Grohl!!!! He actually has an entire album that he did entirely on his own.
He played two separate guitars, a bass guitar, drums of course, and sang... All on his own!!!!
If you don't understand how this is possible... I wish you the best in life, and hope you educate yourself a little more on how recording studios work.
I don't mean this part directly to you,
ToWatchMusic...
Only to those that say shit like,
"That's impossible to play all instruments AT ONCE!!!!" Which he OBVIOUSLY didn't do. It was done in a recording studio. Which I find VERY obvious how it's done.
Just amazing..... Dave is a amazing musician, my second version fav of this song, just behaind jhon frusicante version
This takes me back.
Hallo SOS Mother and Father of all creation are here in the physical in person on earth to show the way phone home today! It's been an arduous journey for Mama Papa to reach all on earth to wake up!
This was pretty good. John frusciante does an amazing cover over this song!!!
No one covered this song better than John Frusciante!
Oh yes :-)
Maksim Senko yes yes!
Deve Grohl is a damn fine example of hell yes. Humor, decency, talent together with humility and respect for those who came before... he can chew gum with his sphincter for all I care. Good man, wonderful creator and musician. Shut up.
Best concert I ever went to... Foo Fighters.
Dave's Funny & Talented. He can make The Amour Hotdog sounds cool, LOL !!!!
