Overview
- At Inglewood's Kia Forum, the band marked Grohl’s 57th birthday with a sold-out benefit directing proceeds to Hope the Mission and Los Angeles Mission.
- The show was their first L.A. date in over a year and the first there since Ilan Rubin replaced Josh Freese on drums.
- With Pat Smear sidelined by a broken foot, Jason Falkner handled guitar duties as Smear’s image appeared on Rubin’s kick drum.
- Grohl honored Taylor Hawkins with a solo “Under You,” noting the Forum also hosted the 2022 all-star tribute to the late drummer.
- The two-and-a-half-hour set on a rotating center stage mixed hits with extended jams, including a nod to Motörhead, and the band next plays UTAS Stadium before Welcome to Rockville in May.
