Drummer Taylor Hawkins, lead the group with a long version of Queen’s “Somebody to Love.” Guitarist, Pat Smear, played opening chords of “Blitzkrieg Bop” to lead the crowd in shouting “Hey! Ho!

The band even managed to cover Tom Petty’s “Breakdown.” Little wonder, the two hour set was an attempt by Dave Grohl to “fit 26 years (of music) into two hours.” The band gave it the college try and the fans were ecstatic.
