Doctors, lawyers, and investment bankers pay thousands of dollars to join rock and roll fantasy camps and jam with mostly has beens for a week. Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl gets to play London’s iconic Wembley Stadium and have legends like Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones join his band onstage for two songs. Some guys have all the luck...
On Saturday June 7th, during the Foos two-night stand at Wembley(!), Grohl returned to his former instrument, stepping behind the kit while drummer Taylor Hawkins belted out “Rock and Roll” alongside the mighty Zep's respective guitarist and bassist. Grohl returned upfront to sing the Led Zeppelin II album track “Ramble On”
In March, Rush’s Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee joined Hawkins on stage in Toronto for a run through the Canadian trio’s classic instrumental “YYZ” and a few weeks later the Foos were joined on stage in Japan by Huey Lewis who jammed with them on harmonica. And now, 2/3 of the surviving Led Zeppelin.
Why couldn't any of this happened when the Foos were good?
