The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert Is The Rock Event Of The Year — Here’s How To Watch It

After the tragic death of Taylor Hawkins on March 25, 2022, the Foo Fighters, and the world, mourned. And, although various musicians paid tribute to Hawkins at the time, a recent concert at Wembley Arena on September 3, 2022, has proven to be an unexpected festival of rock royalty. Make no mistake, this concert — lead by Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters — is the rock event of the year. Did you expect Chrissie Hynde to duet with Paul McCartney in the same concert that also featured Kesha and the current version of Queen? Yeah. It’s that big.

If you missed this moving, and amazing tribute concert, you need to stream it, ASAP. But, get ready to set aside a little bit of time. This mind-blowing event is almost six hours long! In his introduction to the concert, Dave Grohl called it a “gigantic f*cking night for a gigantic f*cking person” and he was not messing around.

Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert Streaming

Although the concert was streaming live for free on YouTube over Labor Day weekend, it’s not anymore. So, to watch the entire concert in full, you have to hit up Paramount+.

But there’s a small catch. If you search “Taylor Hawkins” on Paramount+, you’ll get a 45-minute version of the concert. But, if you scroll down, you’ll notice there’s a second episode of The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert and that version is 5 hours and 38 minutes long. (Though, it too, seems to have cut-out a few performances.)

Here are the two versions, both on Paramount+.

• Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert (short version)
• Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert (long version)

Liam Gallagher + Foo Fighters

Now, even though the second Paramount+ episode gives you a longer version of the concert, it does strangely omit the opening, which has Liam Gallagher (of Oasis fame) playing two songs with the actual Foo Fighters. Why this is omitted from the streaming version is unclear, and odd because it is truly awesome. Here’s a snippet of that from Gallagher’s Instagram. (Yes, that is Dave Grohl on drums!)
