      Who (among the living) do you propose for the next one? Take Sir Paul, for example, or Bruce Springsteen - you probably couldn't pick many examples of more beloved musicians who are currently still alive (personal music tastes aside). Would you really expect rock royalty to turn up en masse for some random 'we love you' show? These crossovers happen all the time, but you'll never hit something on this scale without that deep, burning hurt that comes from a life gone too soon.

Look at the size of the crowd? Then we have the 2nd concert in America coming up with different musicians, it's awesome, but at what expense? Death?

      @540マンモス My Dad was definitely a dork, and was one of those guys back in the day that looked like he was an extra in Revenge of the Nerds. That said, I've also heard rock stars like Dave Grohl and other heroes of mine talk about their kids in interviews, and they've been asked what their kids think of their legendary Dad's and it's always "my kids think I'm a total dork and are embarrassed." There was a video of the RHCP playing a show in Halloween costumes at one of their kid's Elementary School a few years back, and apparently the kid was super embarrassed that their Dad showed up at their school with all his friends, especially because the teachers were all Millennials that were losing their minds. On the flip-side a Phil Collins, a guy my nerdy ass Dad loved in his heyday, married a much younger woman and their young son was in the junior high band, and the band director had the kids playing some of his songs and they had him come on stage to sing for the parents at their concert--the only one who looked embarrassed was Phil, and all the kids thought it was great, so figure that one out. Stuff everyone I grew up with thought was lame became cool in an ironic (but kinda not really) sort of way, and the stuff that was always cool has become lame and embarrassing to much younger kids growing up today.
      So, not throwing shade I'm just making an observation and it doesn't mean anyone loves their Dad any less, but it's rare for kids to think their Dad's are cool their entire life. There's that period when they're younger, and then their school aged years when parents are lame, and then sometime during or after college it flips back around again. If you can't recall going through phases, I'd bet you just forgot.

    I was never a huge fan of the Foos, but I loved how Hawkins played. The most joyous and genuinely moving thing on the night for me was his son getting up to play My Hero. I had tears in my eyes. Shane even moves like his Dad behind the kit. A chip off the ole block. More power to him!

    You were absolute magic throughout the entire show, Justin. Nailed the Van Halen, AC/DC and Queen songs you sang. Fucking brilliant throughout, during an historic gig that had a stupendous amount of absolute first rate moments. And I am not even a fan of The Darkness (although that may now change ..also been a keen subscriber since you started this channel) or the Foo Fighters. (Went mainly for Rush and the odd chance McCartney might show up....).
    Immense.

      And how great was it that McCartney got it done? I had tickets to see him maybe 12 years ago, had to choose between that and a work trip to Brazil (hey, Copacabana). I've been wary of trying again ever since - I felt at the time it was a 'last chance' but damn he still has those (slightly modified) pipes. Which seems physically impossible, but long may it continue.

      @@theritchie2173 I understand you. But although his voice may have aged significantly in the past 12 years, you should still go and see him live. There is so much magic emitted in those 2 and a half hours that he performs. You'll only regret it if you don't.

      I saw Wolf last year. I’m planning to go to every Mammoth WVH show nearby, now. He’s a funny front man, and an excellent musician/vocalist. He Grohled that album (wrote, played, produced, sang, etc., then hired a touring band). He’s a “must see”. Be prepared to smile and laugh and enjoy his music.

    What an honor having Brian ask you to join him on Back in Black. Brian is so ready to share the limelight, no rock star ego. As Dave said, "if Brian asks you to join him, you f**king do it!" The whole world showed their appreciation for Taylor. He was a lot like Brian, ready to elevate other musicians. I enjoyed the show, it was very emotional.

    Thanks Justin loving the channel, at almost 70 years of age and having attended so many gigs & festivals over the years including 1970 IOW I just wanted to say that the loss of so many great musicians throughout my life is always so difficult to come to terms with and like Dave Grohl at Taylor’s farewell gig still brings me to tears, and yet so many moments during my life are made easier with the help of you musicians and your amazing music. I can live without most things but not music. Tony, Coverack in Cornwall.

    Justin, you killed it with your performance of Under Pressure at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert. Even with the poor audio on some of the uploads I've listened to--your vocals still stand out. A quick funny story: I had recently donated a significant portion of the CD collection my Wife and I had accumulated over 30 years+ and last night when I was telling her that I had discovered your CZcams Channel, she expressed her concern that her cherised CD of The Darkness-Permission to Land was included in the donation. So, last night, at about midnight, after she went to bed, I started rifling through the CD's we had kept and there it was, the Permission to Land CD! Marriage Saved! Life is good! Justin to the rescue again.
