Administrators sam_webmaster Posted January 24, 2008 Administrators Share Posted January 24, 2008 John Paul Jones w/Foo Fighters @ Grammys [1.24.08] As previously announced, the Foo Fighters will perform as part of this year's "My GRAMMY Moment" segment on the telecast (Feb. 10th). Produced in partnership with YouTube and CBS.com, up to 20 unsigned musicians will be given the unique opportunity to play with Foo Fighters as part of an orchestra created specifically for this event. Three of these musicians will vie to be a featured instrumentalist during the performance. Arranging the orchestral piece and taking up the baton as special guest conductor will be Led Zeppelin's legendary multi-instrumentalist John Paul Jones. Together the Foo Fighters, Jones and this talented musical ensemble will provide the world with an entirely new take on the Foo Fighters' hit single "The Pretender." www.johnpauljones.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
