Last night at Los Angeles’ Walt Disney Concert Hall, former Hüsker Dü and Sugar frontman Bob Mould was honored with a star-studded tribute concert. Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, Ryan Adams, Spoon’s Britt Daniel, The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn, and No Age were among the acts who took part, performing songs from Mould’s entire discography, including Hüsker Dü, Sugar, and Mould’s own solo material.
According to inlandSoCal.com, the performance featured covers of Mould’s “Black Sheets of Rain” and “Heartbreak A Stranger” by Adams, Hüsker Dü’s ”Real World” and Sugar’s “A Good Idea” by Finn, and Sugar’s “The Act We Act” by Daniel. For his part, Grohl teamed up with Mould for performances of Hüsker Dü’s “Hardly Getting Over It” and “Could You Be The One” and switched to drums for “New Day Rising”. Then, to close things out, Mould dished out renditions of ”Makes No Sense At All” and Sugar’s “Hoover Dam”, among other tracks, before being rejoined by everyone for a performance of ”See a Little Light”.
