This is from this past weekend. Dave Grohl his friends and his broken leg show up and do a pre-concert show as part of a motorcycle rally in Washington DC. He performs a solid cover of Neil Young's Cinnamon Girl.
Of particular interest is that behind the drums is Pearl Jam's very original drummer Dave Krusen. Krusen provided all the drum work on Pearl Jam's first album Ten and likely lives comfortably off those royalties (if he was smart). He left the band somewhat voluntarily before PJ ever even really became big due to his substance abuse problems and put himself into rehab at that point--a good move given the number of substance related deaths in the bands around him. Other members of this "band" are former members of Blind Melon who had their own issue with substance abuse seeing Shannon Hoon (their lead singer) die of an overdose and Grohl himself saw Kurt Cobain commit suicide. Ahhh...such happy tales...
Regardless, enjoy...
