[@CrinleyRock]

Just a word for Dave Grohl. The man can humbly go from workd class front man, to unselfish unparalleled drummer, and subtlety add harmonies on top of it all. Hats off to Dave.

[@MrROTD]

I love how JPJ fits right in even though he is two generatoins removed, he helped start this musical movement and is then still part of it decades later. Who can say they did that? What is he thinking at these moments? I would be overjoyed my work bore such fruiit.

Just a word for how fucking good Alain Johannes is. An underrated genius.

[@codiejman533]

Blew my mind how much he has been involved with. and to find out he was part of What is This. I basically say thats the band that birthed the Chili Peppers. or at least a couple of its members were from it.

[@adamdam]

@@codiejman533 Everything he touches is gold it seems, a legitimate musician with a rare gift truly embracing creativity and expression in its highest musical form and such a hero to be doing all that after everything he has lost.

[@woopimagpie]

I first saw his name on Jason Falkner's (another criminally underrated artist) album back in the 90s, and then the work he did with QOTSA. When you look up all the artists and projects he's been a part of, holy heck, the dude has been involved with a wildly impressive list. Alain has been influencing and guiding so much of the music I'm inspired by all this time and I didn't even know it. Amazing.

[@adamdam]

@@woopimagpie unknown hero in a way, blessed many great projects behind the scenes, when he toured in QOTSA, that was my favorite and most nostalgic era of the band.

[@ianmason2003]

Yes. Glad someone said it. A part of Cornell’s solo band and his own band Eleven(which never got the credit should) even

[@mikesekula3949]

Once talked to JPJ at a bar for 30 minutes before I figured out who he was. Dude is so chill it's unfathomable considering who he is. Still blown away, ~30 years later.

[@joshuakirkwood666]

I am jealous of everyone who attended this. In every way possible. I cannot imagine a more perfect concert. The remaining members of RUSH would like to have been there

[@johnwilles4636]

John Paul Jones is a special human being.

[@ruimarques8669]

Anyone who has a minimal understanding of music will easily realize that this performance is epic. It's all impressive, but what I want to highlight is the fact that Josh can sing and play those impossible guitar riffs.

[@Ojb_1959]

JPJ makes any group a supergroup, theoretically 🤘🏼

[@iancarroll1246]

And literally! What a musical giant he is.

I Just got shown QOTSA and im hooked. that got me finding this band. and honestly Id love a new QOTSA album already and a tour. BUT if Dave Grohl isnt ready to find a new drummer and get foo fighters going again. Id love to go to a show of this band.

[@jamezason]

I think we get a new TCV album, then Josh will get back to QOTSA. Not sure about FF. I think they more time (another year) to really consider if they are at the end of the road or not. Dave has enough friends to start a new musical journey (solo), but could also see him handle the drumming on the FF albums and they use a touring drummer. As a fan of all 3 bands, they owe us nothing more, so I support the guys no matter what they decide.

[@gypdarin1458]

Had i been there, if i wasnt already crying i would have sharded myself, screamed loud as ffff and then wept like a betch

[@DanJanTube]

I wonder how often Josh looked to his side and thought "that's john paul fuckin' jones!"

[@ivanjulian2532]

Watching Dave Grohl watching John Paul Jones on piano at the end of Daffodils is very touching. Dave's a huge music historian. He knows he was watching the same guy who played keyboard on No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. It's a mind warp when you think about what's happening at the end of Daffodils. For at least 5 minutes JPJ is pumping out some of the most hard core bass in the history of rock music, and then he finishes with such a beautiful piece on piano.

[@Jimmy1982Playlists]

God, I love this band... this album... this lineup (Al included!)... praying for a new album!

[@thewedge8823]

WHere do they play daffodils here? I can't find it

[@darrylbennett4297]

There is also a pretty big smile on JPJ face while Dave is smashing the Bonham triplets during the climax of daffodils. They are the best rhythm section I’ve seen live

Most bands Grohl played drums for were better than the Foos- not to denigrate the Foos, who are decent, but he’s a world class rock drummer.

[@stevesack284]

That CD easily became my favorite for the year it came out. Still on my rotation to this day.

[@macl653]

The way JPJ and Grohl look at each other right at the end of Dead End Friends kills me. They ended it perfectly and also Dave with that hair hammering those drums is so damm Bonam-esq

[@jacobneylon647]

This Warsaw goes to 10 and then takes it to 11. When Dave breaks into that massive groove, somehow going even harder than he was before, Josh and Jones both soloing their asses off over it; that’s a one-of-a-kind moment right there. Then flawlessly shooting back into the Am section. So intense!

Thank god for fucking recording technology and the talented mofos who produce it to the way it is. What a time to be alive!! Also reconciling with the fact that I may never be able to see TCV live 😢 at least we all have this. Though in recent videos Josh and Dave are talking about a possible reunion?!?! We would all just die if it happens Hailing from tiny Malaysia🇲🇾 in Southeast Asia

[@SLAYERSWINE1]

I was fortunate to see TCV at Chicago's Metro in 2009. In 1999 I interviewed & got my picture taken with John Paul Jones. Incredibly humble & modest musical ICON.

[@ivanjulian2532]

According to Wikipedia (so do take this with a grain of salt) apparently Jimmy Page reckons he was very close to being a part of this band. I can believe that to be true given that Page and JPJ played at a Foos show at Wembley roughly 2 years earlier, so clearly they all knew each other. However, I can't imagine Page fitting in with Josh Homme's songwriting all that well. To my ear at least, these songs are definitely Josh Homme songs and that means Jimmy Page would have had to play the role of backing guitarist.

[@the-gasless-billows]

Would've no doubt developed differently with Jimmy in the band.

[@rainingkind]

Jimmy has a few standout backing performances on his résumé, but I’m glad he wasn’t in this band.

[@rodriguezelfeliz4623]

Yeah, as much as I love Page, he would probably not fit in with this band. Alain on the other hand, he's a great fit and I am sad that he is not considered an official member

[@cirionbarboza4625]

@@rodriguezelfeliz4623 he is not official, but will always be Josh's secret weapon

[@MichaelSotoCE]

i mean jimmy was a session player. surely he could fit in with another guitarist. and how wouldn't his style work? I mean he played things like Friends and dancing days and plus his demos are wild

[@b.snoodleman5864]

I was lucky enough to meet and hang out backstage with Josh on two different occasions and I can't think of anyone more deserving of the success he has achieved. He really is a genuine good person, but I do like his Kyuss stuff better.

[@zenzer0380]

What a sound they get...POW! Like a sudden storm with titanic thunder and lightning. They really warm up at Gunman. After that it gets.... as some would say EPIC! These gentlemen all certainly sacrificed their instruments to the great gods of badass jams this noche.

[@ironcityap]

Experts make what they do seem easy. They make me feel like I could be on that stage, despite me not playing an instrument. They are far beyond experts. Each of the 4 (Alain is vastly underrated, and also not Kyle Gass’ long lost twin) is a master. I would have given body parts to see that show. The band, the venue… it really gets no better.

[@jamesgugle7789]

Oh. My. God. Just that. Oh. My God. How freaking awesome and overwhelming and wonderful and amazing and............ My only tiny complaint is for the videographers. I wish they had synced the audio and video so that every camera was locked in to Dave's drum strikes. Everything would automatically be timed correctly between audio and video for the instruments and vocals that way. Simple, yet I'm quite surprised to notice how badly off the audio is with Dave's drum strikes on so many camera angles.

[@JohnDaubSuperfan369]

One of the better Scumbag jams, albeit a tad lengthy. Shame about the mix, as per, it's like JPJ isn't even there.
