Warren Haynes Presents: The Benefit Concert Volume 20 is out on December 8th and available here: lnk.to/warrenhaynes
This video will premiere Friday Dec 1st @ 10AM EST / 4PM CET, make sure to set your reminder for the premiere.
The upcoming release of 'The Benefit Concert Volume 20' by Warren Haynes includes a spectacular highlight: the first-ever--and only to date--performance of Dave Grohl’s 23-minute instrumental epic, "Play," which extends to an extraordinary 36 minutes in its live rendition. This live performance is now available, offering fans the opportunity to witness “Play” being brought to life on that unforgettable evening.
Originally composed and performed entirely by Grohl on every instrument, “Play” is an expansive journey through Grohl's musical prowess and creativity. The video release captures the energy and intensity of “Play” as rendered by Grohl and a veritable murderers row of musical accomplices including Greg Kurstin (keys), guitarists Jason Falkner, Alain Johannes and Barrett Jones, Chris Chaney (bass) and Drew Hester (percussion). The performance's distinctiveness was further elevated by the rhythmic artistry of Abby the Spoon Lady, a prominent Asheville-based busker and advocate for street performance, whose unique spoon-playing skill brought an unexpected and captivating dimension to “Play.” Delivering a blend of visual and auditory artistry, this one and only live version of “Play” is a key highlight of 'The Benefit Concert Volume 20'.
Musicians:
Greg Kurstin - Keyboards
Jason Falkner - Guitar
Alain Johannes - Guitar
Barrett Jones - Guitar
Chris Chaney - Bass
Drew Hester - Percussion

He made Nirvana what it was just as much if not more than anyone else in the band. Look at who is still here. Dave wasn't the problem in Nirvana. He was the glue. The straw that stirs the drink. I've been hooked on Dave since the first FF album. When I found out he played every instrument that set him apart from a lot of musicians I like. Being a musician myself. Dave is "good" if not great at everything musical. And his vision of how others would play his music is clear and appealing obviously. Unique tunings....it's formula that has remained since day one. It's his/ their sound. It's been done before and copied and nothing new but Dave is a great song writer and because he is a multi instrument player he can emulate what he hears in his head. But the production is always top notch. Not many out there in the music world to get behind a kit, sing lead, play guitar and bass the step behind the keys and kill all of it.

@@beatmeouttame if you watch the Sonic Highways, Seattle episode outtake. Whith Barret and Dave going through the old songs, there songs off the first album. I imagine, as producer, and as his friend of a few years at that point, he had input on things, ideas ro pass on to Dave, and (even though not mentioned anywhere) there was only really those 2 on the project. So it wouldn't surprise me if Barret whacked a bass or guitar line or two on it.

The look on Grohl's face after that finger-picked guitar solo was the embodiment of Animal from the Muppets. I don't really care what anyone has to say, Dave Grohl is on my top 5 list of the best drummers on the planet. I love this arrangement and Grohl put it all together! The dude doesn't even read music! He doesn't even know which notes he's playing, or why, which is why he's been a huge musical influence for well over 30 years. When you know what you're doing, but you don't know why, that's art. Travel light, Taylor Hawkins...we miss you!

MAGNUM OPUS di Dave Grohl! As the Missa Solemnis of Beethoven. I believe that Play is also a tribute to many other historic bands. I hear references to Sonic Youth, Jane's Addiction, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Faith No More, Soundgarden, and many others. This live version and the original studio version are also nicely different sometimes in a Led Zeppelin way, appreciate that.
