They are totally insane!!!

[@sjmonville]

The passion Taylor had playing the drums is unmatched. Rest in peace to a beyond talent musician.

[@lelandkinsella7380]

💯

[@brianeardley1329]

He is channeling Corky Laing!

[@ReginaldForman]

​@@brianeardley1329yah i felt that too

[@holybear]

Nonsense, check out Keith Moon

[@CalebKnox]

Not quite unmatched. Have you seen his son playing my hero at the Taylor tribute show?

[@charlesdanger2062]

The fact the Foo Fighters haven't been asked to perform at the Super Bowl is criminal.

[@billdexter6148]

Especially after Price covered them when he did his epic Superbowl performance.

[@miggy78]

You have to pay to perform at the Super Bowl, they don’t ask. They might offer, but you still have to pay. It’s seen as an epic opportunity to showcase any artist or band.

[@danflak2370]

So true!!

[@veleo13]

They have been, but they’ve rejected it, cause they know it’s all pure marketing!

[@Left4Green]

Lol they’ve rejected it. They’ve been asked.

[@toolrammsteindeftones]

You gotta give props to the Howard Stern studio. This sounds excellent.

[@adamoftheeast6569]

Taylor’s drums sound soooo good. His kick hits so hard!

[@gusmat]

Real masters of audio capture

[@jaywalshmusicandsong1736]

It's part of the deal...Howard's been having live music forever.

[@nigelsmith721]

agreed...superb mix always.

[@drurigney8616]

I watch many on Howard Stern show. excellent!

[@Killenmachine05]

thats how you properly mix a fucking good bass tone.

[@herobzzy]

noticed that too. the bass tone is always great on howard stern show performances.

[@MrAdamloring1985]

Heck yeah. And let’s stop and give some props to Nate, who is terribly underrated as a bass player. He is always solid as a rock, and doesn’t mind laying in the cut and chilling.

[@KS-sh4xn]

They just plug the bass into the line in for Howard's voice mic...the tone is already set.

[@jetydosa1]

I was just going to type that. The sound is amazing

[@CasteloBrancoG]

fr that bass is nasty!!

[@bathrat]

Dave has the right vocals to do this song justice.

[@SamLopezI]

Dave's guitar is just a prop.

[@howieh7877]

Dave those vocals, holy moly that is good.

[@nickcharles6530]

Surprised the hell outta me, too!

[@mikebeeazy9855]

All that rest from touring seems to have benefited Dave’s vocals for sure

[@jaywalshmusicandsong1736]

@Jeepers Creepers17 not everyone can scream properly or sound good

[@detestor420]

you guys ever hear of Probot ????

[@detestor420]

@Jeepers Creepers17 oh you can ?? id like to see you front a hardcore/metal band !! its not "easy" or anything of the sort.. i am a metal vocalist and trust me it takes alot of practice to scream

[@huppmoile]

Whomever did the final audio mix for this deserves a Grammy... and a medal. Absolutely stellar.

[@casaraku1]

Howard Sterns studios are the best, great acoustics for this studio and engineering... whoever plays there sounds amazing if they have talent.

[@chrisfactmanolitsis5070]

Chris's solos were on the quiet side

[@noaff-fn7up]

@@chrisfactmanolitsis5070 Thanks. I thought something was wrong with my audio when I seen everyone raving about the mix.

[@jadakid6942]

What a band. They can play pretty much anything they want and sound awesome. Taylor Hawkins is a beast.

[@joejitsu4444]

Great point. Agreed. If you're going to replace the drummer for Nirvana, you know Dave is going to pick a masterful gem.

[@mooniejohnson]

Taylor is *definitely* Animal in human form. 😛

[@Nowhandles]

Damn, just damn...

[@daniellawing3779]

was*

[@davidwatt49]

God I love Chris Shiflett's playing.The guy is so underrated.

[@TheLeatheryman]

I know! He’s quiet AF, yet plays like the biblical beast!

[@muhammadraihan3184]

Yeah

[@madatown]

His playing has come along was since No Use for a Name.

[@davidedipatria1787]

Yeah is great

[@ericgesell3820]

A buddy and I were just talking about Chris and how underrated he is. F'in great!

[@keithsullivan5815]

I love when Chris actually gets to play a real solo. He's a damn good guitar player, but not many foo songs give him a chance to really show it

[@logancreed5041]

Very very true 🎸

[@MotownGuitarJoe]

Long Road to Ruin - my fave FF guitar solo song

[@Dylan-fd5fd]

Couldn’t have said it any better

[@NoobsonXbox]

hes played some van halen at some shows and omggg def confirms it for me!

[@Obeseblackman27]

I'm the biggest led zep fan, and his solo on rock and roll at the Kennedy centre honours for led Zeppelin was up there emotionally and better technically than Jimmy Pages.

[@enduman]

These dudes literally never disappoint.

[@bampcs]

Taylor is beating those drums like they owe him money.

[@xXxLegendWolfxXx]

Fuck yeah dude!

[@DomGiglio]

oh, fuck yes he is...dude is a BEAST!

[@LucasAlvesMusic]

he learned to be an loan shark from the best

[@murdoch.22]

fuck yeah dude

[@quaidbergo]

Like they owe him money and they kicked his dog. he's crazy good.

[@tradingnasdaq]

This is honestly an incredible version.

[@rockybarzini8786]

Rest in peace Leslie West the man who wrote Mississipi Queen,The nan who creat mountain,The man who inspire generations of guitarists and musician (Jimi Hindrix-Randy Rhoads-Slash...)

[@kevinwells4888]

We wore out many a 8 tracks listening to Mountain. This brought a tear to my eye.

[@MamoswineBING]

Something in the soul of this song just brings out the best emotion in its players

[@bjs030]

“This one is for Leslie, and Jew” Dave with the subtle pun

[@alr9967]

RIP Taylor. That smile while masterfully drumming is missed

[@32bevula]

Fine tribute to Leslie West and this bona fide rock CLASSIC. Nice to see a new generation recognise the great, underrated Mountain.

[@Chappomusic]

The end of this clip marks why Howard is the best presenter of the last decades , real emotions , no show , real passion. RIP Leslie , thumbs up for Leslie, Howard and Foo Fighters

[@rnrtruestories]

great cover!

[@tmseh]

Mississippi Queen. Foo Fighters. OK, let's do this.

[@DCMA247]

Sam Kinison also did a cover of it that was badass too.

[@Orangelemonblue]

The Energy that this songs brings out of the people playing it, and the people listening to it is absolutely phenomenal

[@randystone6781]

Absolute, undeniable proof that Dave and the boys will totally kick ass on any song they play... 🤘🤘

[@midnightrider7648]

Drums were just about spot on with the original mountain drummer's.

[@kelm95]

I remember watching the foos in the early 2000s, seeing Dave singing songs like monkey wrench and breakout like there's no tomorrow and thinking... This guy's voice won't last long. Here I am, decades later, seeing how wrong I was and what a legend is Dave Grohl.

[@Tim85-y2q]

He did go through a rough patch a few years back, but his voice seems to have come back a lot now.

[@detestor420]

ever hear of probot ??

[@coolguyponus]

Taylor had such finesse AND power.

[@rushmore3927]

Howie's studio tech audio team are amazing.

[@714milky]

Dave Grohl is a fucking living legend.

[@hanson2205]

Milky tell us what you really feel lol ..... totally agree bruh

[@careygosa8100]

💯

[@xXxLegendWolfxXx]

@@OlinKreutzRules yup, he has a huge reputation since Nirvana (which is obviously) but it’s really cool he kept staying in the same spotlight when he started this band even he didn’t mean to do that.

[@painkiller1968]

lol

[@zeppafloyd]

@@OlinKreutzRules Yeah. He seems legit genuine. And he obviously just plain loves rock & roll of every incarnation.

[@heathermetz6576]

Foo Fighters did this song in immense justice, an awesome tribute to Leslie West!

Damn that is the best I’ve heard Dave sound in years man wow

[@angrytater2456]

This is rock n roll in a pure form. Amazing. Leslie, we still listen to you and dance. I look at that wry smile and I remember that the sun will come up tomorrow. Thank you for giving us joy.

[@kens.3729]

Absolutely Killed it. It’s NO wonder why the Foo Fighters are in a league of their own. R.I.P. Leslie.

[@myfavoritedream2149]

I was just listening to Mississippi Queen last night. Epic.

[@michaelfrazia4569]

ditto...something made me look up live mountain and I wanted to hear Leslie live. the song is an American classic

[@scottfrommaryland7658]

Great version of Mississippi Queen. Dave and Chris nailed it. I think of Leslie every time I play my Les Paul Jr.l

[@scottsmith1455]

Foo Fighters are fucking incredible!

[@KingBobCat]

Freaking Awesome! RIP Leslie! ✌

[@jacestephenweatherall1732]

[@buckybeen1]

I've sung this song many times, and it is a vocal cord ripper. Well done. And I always appreciate how stoked the Foos are by rock and roll. Fly that flag.
