Nirvana’s Reunion, Dr. Dre’s Cali Cameo, Lady Gaga’s Show-Closer & More of the Best Photos From FireAid Benefit Concert
With a lineup of 27 acts across two venues to raise money for wildfire victims, Thursday's FireAid concert was poised to be an epic night.
The most unexpected part of the night came from the unannounced reunion of the surviving members of Nirvana — drummer Dave Grohl and bassist Krist Novoselic, along with touring guitarist Pat Smear — plus a revolving door of female vocalists (lovingly dubbed “Hervana”). They started out with St. Vincent for “Breed,” then Sonic Youth’s Kim Gordon for “School,” followed by Joan Jett on “Territorial Pissings,” and finally Dave’s 18-year-old daughter Violet Grohl for “All Apologies.” The performance needed (and got) no introduction, as audience members at the Forum and at home pieced together what they were witnessing in real time. We also got P!nk covering Led Zeppelin and Janis Joplin, Lady Gaga debuting the one-night-only new song “All I Need Is Time,” Joni Mitchell bringing the emotional weight with “Both Sides Now” and much more.
