That Time The Foo Fighters Covered Led Zeppelin In Front Of Led Zeppelin And Barack Obama

A few weeks ago, we told you about President Obama’s Led Zeppelin speech at the Kennedy Center Honors, and last night, footage from the ceremony aired on CBS. The two best moments: the Foo Fighters’, with Taylor Hawkins on lead vocals and Dave Grohl on drums, ferocious cover of “Rock and Roll,” and President Obama mouthing the lyrics to “Whole Lotta Love,” while simultaneously tapping out the song’s solo on Michelle’s arm.

Good thing no one played “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.” So many mixed messages.
