When the Foo Fighters made the surprise announcement they would be performing at the Forum, fans had no idea how memorable the tour kick-off and first show of 2015 would be.
The Foo Fighters were joined onstage by Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister, Trombone Shorty, guitarists Zakk Wylde and Slash, Perry Farrell, KISS’ Paul Stanley, Alice Cooper and Kyuss’ Nick Oliveri. One of the Forum concert’s many highlights came when David Lee Roth arrived onstage to perform Van Halen’s “Panama” and “Ain’t Talkin’ Bout Love” with the Foo Fighters.
In addition to all the special guests, the Foo Fighters also showcased their own work, performing a greatest hits set stocked with “My Hero,” “Learn to Fly,” “White Limo,” and “Everlong” alongside Sonic Highways cuts like “Congregation.”
All tickets for the very special in-the-round performance benefitting multiple charities set the buyer back $50, with $10 of that sum being distributed amongst Rock School Scholarship Fund, MusiCares and Sweet Relief.
