@@nasariogomez3530 They were Bob Dylan's backing band when he went electric. Martin Scorsese made a feature called, The Last Waltz, documenting their final shows before breaking up in the late 70's. There were many guest appearances from Clapton to Muddy Waters. Well worth watching if you love music. It is available here on YT in pieces. I have been to hundreds of shows and they stand out as the best band that I have ever seen live. Just my opinion.
This is how I remember Taylor Hawkins. I watched this video a few years ago before his passing and it was amazing then. It’s just as amazing now and even more so with how much love he shows to Dave, Luke, the fans, and the music. Rest In Peace Taylor, thanks for the memories.
Personal Opinion, Foo Fighters aren't on this level. Sorry Dave, but you I prefer it when you are on the drums and I loved to listen to Nirvana. But I am not a fan of your group the Foo Fighters, not everyone can like everything. This however, with you on the drums, you are supposed as one of the best I have ever heard, to play them anyway and someone else as Lead Vocals is something that I do like.
love Luke. ❤❤ although, Justin Hawkins (The Darkness) is the Best Front man; judging from hundreds of videos & live shows. He had Luke on JH Rides Again and IT WAS FANTASTIC!! Rest in Heaven Taylor Hawkins! WE'll never forget you!!!!!
I did not notice that until I read your comment! I was recommended this video because I was watching Luke's live performances and didn't know he sang with Taylor... but this part was tearing.
Dave Grohl: "Every band should study Queen at Live Aid And if every barrier is gone, you become Freddie Mercury, I consider him the greatest frontman of all time. You'd think he was more than human. The way he controlled Wembley at Live Aid 1985? He stood up there and did his vocal warm-up with the audience , something that intimate where they realise, 'yeah that's the f--kin' dude'"
Go see the Struts. Luke Spiller's performance is very similar. He is another super frontman as well that controls. Not sure why they are not selling out 20,000 seat arenas on their own. They are that good. Grohl realizes it and is why he has them opening.
Luke Spiller is a Showman with great stage presence very much a Peacock like Freddie was ! Luke's persona just fits the classic definition of a "Rock Star" . When he is on stage you are hypnotically drawn to him! The Struts are a refreshing ray of hope for Rock ! The Foo's shows are pretty dynamic and frequently filled with cool surprises like when they got Rick Astley up there with'em singing "Never gonna give you up! A cool "MENTOS" moment!!!
this has been one of my favorite songs since it was first out and i was a little kid. i was blessed to see Taylor sing it live four times, i miss him everyday. still so sad.
A very good tribute to one of the best rock bands ever, performed by one of the best rocks bands currently in existence. Taylor Hawkins is a gem, and it is always good to see him doing Queen songs with the Foo Fighters. Add Luke Spiller to the mix and you basically have two grown men channeling their inner Freddie.
Thanks Dave - keep nurturing those guys (The Struts). They can carry their own weight the more people actually see and hear them. Your guys and their guys prove that Rock and Roll is not dead - it's alive and well.
What I like most about this band Is that they pay tribute to the band's who paved the way for them. Their musical presence shows that they want rock 'N' roll to live forever. P.S I love their music.
Taylor has a great voice. I am surprised he was never a lead singer in a Band. Interesting how him and Dave can both sing and play drums. They are so amazing.
I’ve seen The Rolling Stones, Green Day, WEEZER, fall out boy, Guns N’ Roses, poison, and this particular foo fighters concert was easily the best one I’ve ever been to
Rip Taylor, you have touched my life in so many ways!! Best drummer, awesome singer, best man that I have ever had the privilege of meeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have to say I have a thirteen year old cousin and she is getting into this glam/classic rock 70s music which I'm totally thrilled about. Its really to see a resurgence with bands like The Struts and Greta Van Fleet bringing this sound to a new generation. But it must have been soooo incredible to experience Bowie and Freddie Mercury for real back in the day. I never really experienced the loss of Mercury because In was young when he died but in my middle age accepting that David Bowie passed is just, I still can't.
This was such a great show! I saw them that night and I saw them a few nights previous at Jones Beach. Jones Beach was better, honestly- that was a magical show and the energy was megawatt intense. But seeing them here was fantastic and it was so good! I danced my ass off and sang to every single song and had such a fantastic time. LOVE the Foo Fighters!!
it was awesome seeing them do this live. the struts were pretty good. but I think his voice is awesome for covering queen. and Taylor is surprisingly good at it! the best part is when you can tell how much fun they have doing this.
As a teenager it was seemingly impossible to find someone else who liked them as much as I did. To hear a whole crowd of a modern audience singing along with this got me kind of misty-eyed.
Saw the struts at download 2018 and I had never heard of them before, they just blew.me away one of the best bands of the festival and this performance is just amazing.
The Foo Fighters are stellar, they give such utter respect when they cover a song be it Queen, Metallica, Kiss or even Rick Astley, aside from their own, they just rock good music!
me and my wife flew into NYC on the 17th the day of this concert...i had no idea they were playing this night, it was about 6:30 that night and i googled "rock shows in NYC" and it popped up they were playing MSG, we walked from the Marriott in Times Square and found out it was sold out, asked someone who worked there if any tix would be available, he quietly said "go stand at the box office they will drop some tix right before the show" well we stood in line of about 10 people and it was our turn at the window and we scored front row side stage (tix were the Foo Fighters friends and family tix) i was blown TF away...i literally had my nuts on the monitor guys neck, it was unbelievable!! we were about 20 feet to the right of this camera angle front row...i hate it for the guy that paid way more than me and got the seats WAY WAY at the top in advance because it was the only ones left and i walked in 30 minutes before show and was almost sitting on the stage..
I bought tickets to a Motley Crue show right before it started and got 10th row tickets. A friend of mine who was a bartender met some roadies the night before who gave him tickets. We ended up sitting right next to each other. They were obviously tickets that were held back for whatever reason. Another person I knew bought his tickets months in advance and had nosebleed. I couldn't resist rubbing it in his face afterwards. It didn't come close to the show Dave Grohl and his band puts on though. Frickin amazing guy
@@pissedoffpetedotcom for what it's worth I know the guitar player in Vince's solo band his name is Jeff Blando I'm good friends with him...check him out sometime
una de las grandes bandas de rock que aun quedan,ojala los pueda disfrutar muchos años mas. la musica de ahora no la entiendo,no tiene contenido como el rock
How true. If you can get this song right you can sing anything! The outfits are like someone's LSD nightmare! You gotta love a Foo Fighter concert. Never goes right, hey you Kiss Face Guy and the kid drummer!

When the lead singer becomes the drummer...and the drummer becomes the lead singer...got to love Foo Fighters!
But the lead singer used to be a drummer
Kayleigh Evans Ahahah I know right! Only for one of the greatest grunge bands of our generation too.
I hope u know Dave’s history
He was the drummer of Nirvana !!
Fuckn A. Rip Taylor
Rest in paradise Taylor Hawkins. We love you. Truly a legend and one of the greatest to ever do it
You know you’re a great f’ing band when your drummer and singer can switch spots
The same as queen back then, and the beatles way back then, foo fighters are destinied for greatness
The best ones that I have ever witnessed at switching positions was, The Band. Those guys were /are incredible.
Tommy I have no idea who they are but I’m down to give them a listen

Love how Luke Spiller just owns the stage, best frontman I've seen in a long time, since Freddie really x
Struts career took off after opening for Foos. 🤩
Luke is the best
Good dancer too!😃
love Luke. ❤❤
although, Justin Hawkins (The Darkness) is the Best Front man; judging from hundreds of videos & live shows.
He had Luke on JH Rides Again and IT WAS FANTASTIC!!
Rest in Heaven Taylor Hawkins! WE'll never forget you!!!!!
I am waiting for Luke Spiller to become a legend 🙌 👏
Huge Queen fan since 1977, so you know I am absolutely loving this freaking song! FF n The Struts, what a magic time that must have been.
Love how Taylor hugs his son Shane behind the drum kit at the end. Rest in beats and peace Taylor. 🥁🎼🎸💔

He looks like so many big front men...Jagger

@@arramos6802 aaaah for real. Exactly what I'm thinking
this has been one of my favorite songs since it was first out and i was a little kid. i was blessed to see Taylor sing it live four times, i miss him everyday. still so sad.
The pure happiness from Taylor makes me so happy. Still can’t believe this force of nature is gone 💔
A very good tribute to one of the best rock bands ever, performed by one of the best rocks bands currently in existence.

and he just died lol

Taylor, you were the best. Thank you for everything. RIP
Thanks Dave - keep nurturing those guys (The Struts). They can carry their own weight the more people actually see and hear them. Your guys and their guys prove that Rock and Roll is not dead - it's alive and well.
The Struts should absolutely be playing stadium shows at this point. It is criminal that they are not as big as they deserve to be.
What I like most about this band Is that they pay tribute to the band's who paved the way for them. Their musical presence shows that they want rock 'N' roll to live forever. P.S I love their music.
I have to watch this everyday . How can you not smile watching this . Rest in Paradise Taylor

Brings tears to my eyes. What a beautiful tribute to Freddy and David

Foo fighters, where the best drummers the singer and where the best singer is the drummer. Love this band!!
Well said salute
My god, i did NOT realize until just now how badly i really truly needed this in my life.
Thx for sharing
Oh geez I'm crying again.
And it's 11/23.
I love all of these people. And one still breaks my heart.
And yet the music and memories play on.❤️💔❤️🎶
Never heard of the struts but I like his voice. Awesome performance!!
I was lucky enough to see this performance a few feet from the front row the next night. What an amazing night!
Remember the good old days when we could have more then 10 people together in one place? You know 2 weeks ago...
es wird zeit das wir das wieder erleben dürfen. Also Leute bleibt zuhause! in english: STAY AT FUCKING HOME
Ye....
. Those where the days
Ye....... those where the days
Yes...
Sort of
grateful that I saw this show at JONES BEACH 7/12/2018.. Miss you TAYLOR. Freddy and DAVID BOWIE..
Taylor Hawkins voice is killer too! 🤩🤩 love rewatching this once in a while all so talented!!
He sings a track on the Dennis Wilson album Pacific Ocean Blues, and he had a gorgeous tone to his voice.
@@philyates7670 he died 😭
Rip Taylor, you have touched my life in so many ways!! Best drummer, awesome singer, best man that I have ever had the privilege of meeting!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This put a smile on my face. Thanks for this.
It's when you realize Freddy Mercury's greatness ...to dare to sing in the original key for most of the nowadays singers is a huge task
What's not to like about this? A tribute to Freddy Mercury & David Bowie. Two of the greatest rockers of all time.
@Gelmir Curufin not to mention they could pull a random nirvana song or song nirvana covered. If that is true, thats sad
RIP David and Freddie
They simply made a piece of shit from a master piece
Did you really write FreddY????? ahaha
@Gelmir Curufin what do you do at your shows?

So many good things in just one concert, thanks for a piece of Queen. The best concert in my Life!
they did a billy joel cover 2
I saw them the week before in Philly. Holy shit it was fucking amazing! 3 hours... I HAD to sit down at one point.
Same experience here 🙋, they played all the good songs, I couldn't believed, first band that really gives their followers what they want!

They were incredible. Did you see Nothing More as well?
Got to see Queen & Bowie in younger days. Am new to the Foo Fighters & Strut -- this is IMPRESSIVE!! R.I.P. T. Hawkins.
NOBODY could do what David and Freddy did. Two legends that will never be forgotten.
ITS FREDDIE
Yeah, they reached a peak point that no one will ever achieve, however, a tribute isnt bad if its well done
Yeah but for this generation Dave comes pretty close to that kind of iconic status.
Ima Pig .... but it was still a good run..
Yeah, but the Foo Fighters did this song some justice. Fucking awesome.
Hawkins and Mercury are singing in the heavens. What a gift to have had them a moment. ❤
I just love how much Taylor Hawkins loves Queen, obviously they dont have the Bowie and Freddie range but it was fun to watch.
I'm just frickin' holding back tears right now.
Love the way Dave gets on the kit and casually starts playing Bonhams version of the Purdey shuffle from Fool In The Rain....
Great tribute guys. Can’t believe I’ve only just found this.
The Foo Fighters are stellar, they give such utter respect when they cover a song be it Queen, Metallica, Kiss or even Rick Astley, aside from their own, they just rock good music!
Omg, 2 favorite bands sing the legendary songs by another favorite band and singer, shock
The best cover I've heard.
Seriously, yes. That took some serious match up of talent to come close enough to David Bowie and Freddy Mercury, didn't it?
I love you guys sent this song well and beautiful

Taylor and Travis 2 of the best of our generation to play the skins. The intensity and showmanship from a drummer is worth the show alone
That "Smells Like Teen Spirit" tease at 6:42
Omg I love seeing Dave on the drums❤️
Seen videos of foos doing Queen many times but I never heard Taylor do Bowies voice before and it was amazing!
Love love love thank you so much xxxxxx
Love Luke Spiller's dancing at 5:52 on!
I REALLY like those, FOO FIGHTERS!!!! Those Guyz are, really COOL!!!
singing a Queen's song with an Eddie VH t-shirt is perfection

This one still burns
This cover was so awesome to watch that night! Possibly the best concert I've been to yet!
you need to go to alot more concerts
Been a while since I've seen this. This is a great video on so many levels.

Luke Spiller probably should be playing Freddie Mercury in that Bohemian Rhapsody Movie.
Or maybe the singer from Foxy Shazam?
Just got goose bumps watching this, omfg, out fing standing!
Is there some contest that I can enter to watch Bohemian Rhapsody with Taylor Hawkins?!!!!!!!!
you've got to be able to find acid good enough to fulfill that experience
And me too!!!
No acid required.
@@Eudaimaniac44 can I just have the acid? I'm pretty sure I can trip hard enough to pretend I won that contest.

2:50 Dave playing the intro of this Aussie hit. What was the title again? Looked it up. It's "Down Under" by Men at Work.
SO SHWEEEETTT...much love Tee with LIONS NAMED LEO.[the music worldwide}
...aaahh h yeah SOOO fun..!!!

“I’ll take it from here, Darling.”
