Dave Grohl made one of his first public appearances since the March death of Foo Fighters’ drummer Taylor Hawkins, appearing tonight (Aug. 16) at the tiny Largo at the Coronet in Los Angeles …
Beck was the only performer announced for the night, which was already star-studded before the Grohl appearance: comedian Pete Holmes and Apatow bantered back and forth to open the show, followed by a short set by Tenacious D culminating in a faithful singalong of REO Speedwagon’s “I’m Gonna Keep on Loving You” to rapturous applause.
Sarah Silverman tried out new material before Beck entered, acoustic guitar in tow, for a set featuring some of his deep-cut classics, including “Cyanide Breathmint” and “Debra,” with longtime collaborator Kurstin on keys. Black and Reiley helped out on a ramshackle run-through of the “Mellow Gold” cut “Truckdriving Neighbors Downstairs” before the gang started into “Summer Breeze” Grohl strided in just in time to sing the short guitar part, met by amazed whoops and a semi-standing ovation from the stunned audience. The night was rounded out with a Grohl-less run-through of the Rolling Stones classic “Dead Flowers,” with Reiley taking on lead vocal duties.
Grohl is next scheduled to appear during two tributes to Hawkins in London and Los Angeles in September before playing as part of the James Gang reunion in Columbus, Ohio on November 13.
