A West Coast tribute to Taylor Hawkins

Earlier this month, the Foo Fighters brought an extraordinary group of rock, metal, and pop all-stars together at Wembley Stadium in London to celebrate the life of their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins.

Last night (September 27), they repeated the feat at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles, recruiting many of Hawkins' friends, family, and heroes for an incredible night of music.

The evening saw Wolfgang Van Halen nail Panama (after promising he'd never play the track live), Nancy Wilson play Heart's Barracuda with the Foo Fighters, members of Nirvana and Soundgarden come together for a set of Soundgarden songs... and that's not even the half of it.

Scroll down to see our full coverage of the momentous tribute concert.
