This is how I remember Taylor Hawkins. I watched this video a few years ago before his passing and it was amazing then. It’s just as amazing now and even more so with how much love he shows to Dave, Luke, the fans, and the music. Rest In Peace Taylor, thanks for the memories.

Personal Opinion, Foo Fighters aren't on this level. Sorry Dave, but you I prefer it when you are on the drums and I loved to listen to Nirvana. But I am not a fan of your group the Foo Fighters, not everyone can like everything. This however, with you on the drums, you are supposed as one of the best I have ever heard, to play them anyway and someone else as Lead Vocals is something that I do like.

Love how Luke Spiller just owns the stage, best frontman I've seen in a long time, since Freddie really x

A very good tribute to one of the best rock bands ever, performed by one of the best rocks bands currently in existence. Taylor Hawkins is a gem, and it is always good to see him doing Queen songs with the Foo Fighters. Add Luke Spiller to the mix and you basically have two grown men channeling their inner Freddie.

Luke Spiller is a Showman with great stage presence very much a Peacock like Freddie was ! Luke's persona just fits the classic definition of a "Rock Star" . When he is on stage you are hypnotically drawn to him! The Struts are a refreshing ray of hope for Rock ! The Foo's shows are pretty dynamic and frequently filled with cool surprises like when they got Rick Astley up there with'em singing "Never gonna give you up! A cool "MENTOS" moment!!!

Taylor, you were the best. Thank you for everything. RIP

It's when you realize Freddy Mercury's greatness ...to dare to sing in the original key for most of the nowadays singers is a huge task

What I like most about this band Is that they pay tribute to the band's who paved the way for them. Their musical presence shows that they want rock 'N' roll to live forever. P.S I love their music.

I just love how much Taylor Hawkins loves Queen, obviously they dont have the Bowie and Freddie range but it was fun to watch.

me and my wife flew into NYC on the 17th the day of this concert...i had no idea they were playing this night, it was about 6:30 that night and i googled "rock shows in NYC" and it popped up they were playing MSG, we walked from the Marriott in Times Square and found out it was sold out, asked someone who worked there if any tix would be available, he quietly said "go stand at the box office they will drop some tix right before the show" well we stood in line of about 10 people and it was our turn at the window and we scored front row side stage (tix were the Foo Fighters friends and family tix) i was blown TF away...i literally had my nuts on the monitor guys neck, it was unbelievable!! we were about 20 feet to the right of this camera angle front row...i hate it for the guy that paid way more than me and got the seats WAY WAY at the top in advance because it was the only ones left and i walked in 30 minutes before show and was almost sitting on the stage..

@Jim Powers- thank you so much for posting these videos of the Foo Fighters! I am enjoying them so much!

I was lucky enough to see this performance a few feet from the front row the next night. What an amazing night!

This was such a great show! I saw them that night and I saw them a few nights previous at Jones Beach. Jones Beach was better, honestly- that was a magical show and the energy was megawatt intense. But seeing them here was fantastic and it was so good! I danced my ass off and sang to every single song and had such a fantastic time. LOVE the Foo Fighters!!

Freddie would be like: “I’ll take it from here, Darling.”

I have to say I have a thirteen year old cousin and she is getting into this glam/classic rock 70s music which I'm totally thrilled about. Its really to see a resurgence with bands like The Struts and Greta Van Fleet bringing this sound to a new generation. But it must have been soooo incredible to experience Bowie and Freddie Mercury for real back in the day. I never really experienced the loss of Mercury because In was young when he died but in my middle age accepting that David Bowie passed is just, I still can't.

I gotta go see these guys. Always looks like a genuine good time.
