[@Papatorrejano]

Elliot Easton, a musician's musician. The Cars, those are well crafted songs. R.I.P. Taylor, Ben Orr and Rick Ocasek.

[@mojojasons]

Well said!

[@5yearsout]

Got that right!

[@deadshot4245]

some of the most amazing arrangements when you dig into the mixes

[@williamgriffith6061]

Seeing him rip that solo legit got me emotional. Dave Ghrol fucking gets it. He's like, "fuck it the Cars need to be played live with this guy at least one last time at least"

[@deanallen927]

One of the best guitar players of that era and proves he has a timeless style. also played with Credence in recent years.

[@conchrepublictheband]

Elliot Easton is a guitar genius!!!

[@23nacho23]

Easton was always underrated.

[@buffdoc46]

Elliots leads are so dang iconic. Always perfect in the pocket. Amazing guitarist. My High School days

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

Elliot Easton, such a badass!

[@JavierRamirez-wu5ru]

Elliot chops Holy moly!

[@patrickhale424]

Jesus Titty Fuckin Christ,!! Elliott Easton has been one of my favorite guitar players since I first heard The Cars in 1978 🤘🤘 RIP , Benjamin Orr, Ric Ocasek and Taylor Hawkins.... Gone way too soon but NEVER FORGOTTEN 🤘🤘🤘

[@RockAndGrohlMe]

This whole thing has to bring some healing to all the mourners there. Elliot Easton lost Ben Orr a hundred years ago and then Ric Ocasek. And these were SUCH Taylor songs to have everyone singing and dancing to! Epic sendoff for Taylor and the Greats before him. I still miss you, Freddie. ❤‍🩹💔❤‍🩹💔❤‍🩹

[@nickphillips1721]

Elliot Easton is Still one of my favorite players!...............his entire playing, every single note, on Bye Bye love, is still one of the greatest things I have ever heard!

[@scottwhite2757]

Seeing and hearing Elliot play made my day ..

[@andyg2278]

Elliot Easton makes every note count….you can sing to his solos!

[@analiajimenalopez4666]

Thanks ...❤❤❤ Elliot i love you , so fine and perfect guitarist ... I love you EE ❤

[@bohs1984]

One of THEE most underrated guitar players of all time. The man is a monster player in so many different styles.

[@TheChef470]

I'm in my late 50's and I'm from Boston.....the Cars were my band : ) God bless you Elliot I have goosebumps.....and Dave did a great job on Dave Robinson's amazing drum parts.

[@ChrisLawton66]

Great to see that EE still has it.

[@willjam465]

Love The Cars. Such great songs. "Just What I Needed" was the first song I learned to play on the drums. Always holds a special place for me.

[@sharonwalsh7840]

The Cars was my first real Rock concert at the age of 14. My mother brought me. She was a fan too!

[@joywaban9458]

The best guitarist Elliot eston

[@stevengottlieb3449]

Elliot melts it.

[@CheetahSnowLeopard]

Elliot’s solos always so very tasty. 😋

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Elliot Easton is an absolute MONSTER and riff master.

[@sgt.thundercok4704]

Man they could have chose 10 other better Cars songs to do than 'Shake It Up'. Glad they did 'Just What I Needed'. Epic keyboard line.

[@finickymook8653]

Josh Homme... what a revelation!... didn't realise he was such a great vocalist... also the gleeful look on Dave's face during the wonderful intro...

[@startervisions]

...ever heard of QOTSA?

[@Papatorrejano]

Live or in studio, he's got some decent versions of other artists. Billy Idol, Romeo Void, The Doors, Elliot Smith, Mark Lanegan, Cream, Artic Monkeys.

[@therapist6328]

Mr.Mook, Josh Homme is one helluva voice and songwriter. Search up his luve stuff. Check out his catalogue, it might not be all to your taste, but he can't be denied.

[@lindacoy7165]

And does a great Bowie as seen at the other tribute ❤

[@ROOKTABULA]

LMFAO!! What? Wow.

[@williamshipley2257]

Elliot Easton is classically trained. Degree in Music Theory from Cal Berkeley. Mother was a concert pianist I think.

[@lesflynn4455]

Wow. Thats one helluva prestigious resume. I had no idea. He could probably play anything, and explain the intricacies and theory behind it.

[@Lickmaker]

Berklee College of Music in Boston. Not the same institution as Berkeley.

[@kathrickaby3951]

How great would it have been to see Greg hawkes and David robinson up there too RIP Ben and Ric

[@michaelconway6720]

That was great. Elliot Easton is an amazing guitarist.

[@zaphodbeeblebrox879]

Rami doing his thing is everything

[@RockAndGrohlMe]

Rami got to SHINE with this short set!

[@MsFuqyu]

Rami is underrated in the mainstream. Guy is GOLDEN.

[@sbrave]

Elliott Easton could more than hold his own in the 70's/80's. He always made every solo note count, and these 2 solos are a the perfect example. I think Grohl was more of a fan of these other bands than was once believed : ) Him playing guitar on Live Wire is killer.

[@jcg2922]

Always thought Josh Homme's voice harkened back to a lot of 70's and 80's new wave/synth pop singers. He's right at home here.

[@Rockingoodman]

Except that he acted like a total d**k and sang as poorly as ever. Watching him walk all over Elliott's chance to talk to the audience reminded me why I hated having to watch josh perform every time tqotsa opened for good bands. Elliott's response was super kind. He just formed up with the real musicians there.

[@TheBritomart]

Josh Homme- King of 80'sTop 40 Karaoke

[@ROOKTABULA]

I loved _loved_ playing and singing Just What I Needed with my band, back when I was alive.

[@colerobert9700]

When i saw this footage I was like Josh does sound a little like Ben Orr this should be good and Josh killed it,What a great performance and to see Elliot there playing those iconic cars guitar riffs was so awesome, Great to see Elliot out there, Such an underrated guitar player the backbone for the cars

[@markkennedy5335]

Loved the Cars. This is awesome 👏👏

[@mr.mertman5711]

Underrated guitarist, for sure...

[@kbusby4824]

Just what I Needed, JH and EE!! Great stuff. RIP Ben, Ric and Taylor.

[@andyg2278]

I’ve been crying tears of joy and sadness at so many of these songs. I’ve never seen a collection of artists as this concert. Shows the love for Taylor.

[@lesflynn4455]

This was an unexpected treat. The Cars made some brilliant songs. What I really loved about this was that everybody on the stage was having a total blast. They were loving playing those songs.

[@1927su]

…🎶Doesn’t matter where ya been, as long as it was deep.. Rip Ben, Ric,& Taylor 🎶

[@elifaudio1472]

perfect solos everytime.

[@chrisw9179]

I saw The Cars open for Styx at the Forum in 78. The first new wave band 99% of the crowd had heard (or heard of). Moving In Stereo had everyone off their noggins.

[@Wez666]

Easton is such an underrated guitarist

[@loveitwhenyoudothat]

Josh homme is a truly beautiful man

[@jaredbracci3529]

EE, The Cars Master Mechanic❤

[@shawnlittle3184]

The Cars are the Balls of Killa rock and roll. First hummer to Moving in Stereo and leave it to me. saw em in Boston on their album deal show. Then when they came to My home town of Portland Maine. Best advice to any kid,about doing Music. The Cars the cars and Candy o.Better fucking be in your line up.

[@chickenbeek]

Omg the synchronicity. Me -full on death metal head, shred guitar loving maniac for 40 years, and i've uttered Elliot Eastons' name quite of a few times in the last few weeks. I think twice today even just talking to myself. I was just pondering the sound of the 80's and bands i kinda shunned an grew respect for over the decades. There was a lot of talent in the 80's and a lot of the soundtrack to the 80's. But if i'm being fully honest, in the mainstream of popular music, the Cars definitely were a staple and an easily named to go of the sound of the 80's. It's no question. They were all over MTV, they wrote sings chicks shaked their ass too, or wanted to fk you too as soon as they came on. I truly absorbed later what a kick ass guitar player he is. And for the cork sniffing anti pop, punk rock/prog/ self indigent metal head guitar player musician type,. what he really was. It only made me go back to revisit and realize he was a consummate professional who played to the tune and killed it.

[@timmothymonaghan5236]

Bad Ass Good job !!!!!!!!!!!! So good to hear this Live again

[@Concrete_Jockey]

Wow. Didn’t know the Foo’s could play The Cars, but I loved it.

[@deancoburn944]

That’s what makes them so great! They can adapt and play anything! Gotta love it!

[@RobertFairweatherMusic]

Elliot Easton is the sheet.

[@nq1313]

I love Homme. But as a Cars fan since childhood (and a musician) he is no where O'casek/Orr vocals (where is Gregg Hawkes??). Elliot Easton still brings it. Simplicity at it's most amazing.

[@loveitwhenyoudothat]

Superb

[@chadmefford7425]

Elliot was flawless, Foo Fighters were great. Josh ok but could have learned the words

[@tdietro]

That was great! Only way it could have been better is if they did Moving In Stereo too.

[@cuetheraven7161]

Beautiful!

[@therealwilfreddierkes9980]

Incredible. ❤

[@dougmurrayshow]

Love your channel

[@boofert.washington2499]

Wow.

[@cricketslayer1]

I couldve watched them do 4 cars songs.

[@Trippy_solutions]

Last time I saw a picture of Josh he was looking really skinny glad to see him back at a healthy weight!

[@vp579]

Anyone else remember hearing the beginning of Just What I Needed on the radio years ago and thinking they were about to hear Led Zep's Good Times, Bad Times?

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Never. Not once.

[@patrickhale424]

What are you smoking?!?! I need some of that..... It's got you on another planet for sure. Never once ,in the thousands of times I've heard that song , did I ever hear the intro and mistake it for Zeppelin 🤣😂🤣. Puff puff pass mofo 🤘🤘

[@cultfilmfreakreviews]

the singer looks like Chris Penn from Footloose

[@AvantTrash]

Jeez Josh, how do you NOT know the lyrics to Just What I Needed?

[@therapist6328]

Lots of drinks

[@CasualGameDev]

Normally he is excellent but I was honestly surprised how bad he goofed on that song haha, it was a big night with probably lots of drinks involved, as long as he doesn't let it happen again! xD He was amazing at Wembley tho

[@melissatyree566]

@@CasualGameDev ...he seemed to be on good behavior. No kicking camera people in the face. No offense, but they could have found someone better to sing the cars songs. He wasn't putting any effort into it. Disappointing.🥱

[@CasualGameDev]

@@melissatyree566 Thats true but I couldnt rrally imagine Justin singing them either, maybe dave? I bet taylor would kill it if he was here man

[@capt_howdy]

bruh this show was better than wembley lmao

[@maragus1190]

Fucking epic

[@IrishNDF]

Where was The blond haired backup singer Samantha?

[@scottlalexander510]

The choice of singer was poor and uninspiring, especially when he interrupted Elliot when he was talking, but Easton killed it as always!

[@matthewgierula5674]

Its very weird to see Josh sing without a guitar.

[@ejdrapes5098]

Is there a reason Dave played drums? Didn’t love it tbh. The drums on Shake it Up sounded like Everlong. Pat Wilson was there. Why not have him do it?

[@RishPanjeetJr]

I love The cars. Meanwhile, Homme looks like a little Popeye man.

[@FartsInTanks]

Looks like a karaoke. Good thing they invented teleprompters for the stage floor or someone else would have had to sing.

[@JavierRamirez-wu5ru]

Lefty

[@GlobalMiles]

It’s nice to see master drummer Grohl completely fuck up the drums...in exactly the same way every high school band does. Yeah, you probably didn’t hear it. ; )

[@lesflynn4455]

Lol. I'm not a muso but my ears caught something, wondering if Dave fucked up for a moment. He has the best excuse. He's not really a drummer these days, and he just spread himself too thin. But hell, Roger and Rufus Taylor, Stewart Copeland, Danny Carey and that bloke from Blink 182 were waiting in the wings. Oh well, it was Daves show. He called the shots. I enjoyed it anyway.

[@kdawgaz]

Maybe the singer could have learned the freakin' words or used a teleprompter....lame choice.

[@scottmatson4816]

The singer does not belong on the same stage as Elliot Easton. Everyone’s drunk uncle could sing this better.
