Geddy Lee & Alex Lifeson played at the Foo Fighters show in Toronto this past weekend w/ Taylor Hawkins.

First clip shows entire stage and video screens. Dave Grohl's reaction at the end is priceless:

Second one is from stage left (forward to 1:45 mark if you want to skip the drum solo):

Excellent, thanx. They are on the 2nd leg of the Snakes & Arrows tour.

The guy who produced Snakes & Arrows has worked with the Foo's in the past. Apparently, that is the connection between the two bands.

I wonder how much of a surprise that really was to Grohl. I imagine he is jamming away on his kit and then somebody "whispers" to him to break into YYZ. He looks up and there are Geddy and Alex w/axes ready to go. :D

Grohl is a big Rush fan and that was actually Taylor Hawkins on drums. Pictures at the Foo website indicate they practiced it during soundcheck.

Was this part of the "Canadian content in entertainment laws" thing?

If Britney Spears does a concert in Toronto, does Celine Dion have to come onstage for a set?

:gomer:

Cool vids. Thanks.
