I didn’t see a thread about this, so figured I’d start one. Was wondering if Matt would be there for the Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert. Glad to see he can make it to the LA show now that PJ tour is over. I know Taylor was a BIG fan of Matt, so it’ll be great that he’s a part of this tribute.
So glad that I’ll be there for what will probably be an emotional, once-in-a-lifetime night. Anyone else going?

That said, I don't think of it as "a celebration of many artists who passed on" any more than it was also a celebration of those still alive. It was a celebration of artists and songs that Taylor Hawkins loved, some of whom are still alive, and some of whom passed on. And Taylor adoring the artist/band was really the only unifying theme re: who was invited to play & what songs were played. I'm sure most people organizing it also loved most/all of the artists who performed, but to me it didn't highlight those who passed on beyond honoring that fact that they, too, were artists Hawkins loved. The Bowie songs weren't about Bowie and nothing in particular was said about Bowie other than the links of the artists onstage to Bowie (like Omar Hakim and Nile Rogers), but probably everyone there is a giant Bowie fan. Same with all the others you list. Only Queen seemed to get more of a Queen moment when Brian May went out alone to the end of the long stage and sang that one song and the whole stadium sang along with their lights. That felt as much about honoring Queen as Taylor to me, but that was the only song that felt that way to me.
Totally understand and embrace that everything may have felt different to others.
It was great to see the breadth of both artists that Taylor Hawkins loved, and of artists who loved Taylor Hawkins

But that doesn't change my opinion on the band. I think another album, while highly unlikely given JPJ's age, would be killer.

Another awesome night. Hope we get to see a pro shot for this one too. Loved Taylor Momsen with the other Seattle guys-she obviously has direct empathy with them having opened for SG on their fateful tour. Def Leppard sounded cool-Low was great with Matt. Jeepers Miley Cyrus has some talent too. Shame TCV only did one original. Hope they record more but Queens have an announcement pending so looks like it won't happen.
