The Official "Sound City Players" Thread

Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 7:32 PM

Well folks, John's got a busy few weeks ahead of him. Tonight he was spotted at the Sundance Film Festival, watching the premiere of Dave Grohl's new movie "Sound City," which John is featured in. Of course, JF recorded at the Sound City Studios with Carl Perkins in 1996.

John and other guests in the movie (Stevie Nicks, Rick Springfield, plus members of Nirvana, Cheap Trick, and the Foo Fighters) are performing as the "Sound City Players" in Utah tonight, in LA in a few weeks, and more shows are rumored in the future.

If you find any news articles, videos clips, or interviews about this exciting endeavor, post them here! John is supposed in play a mini-set with the band, and Nirvana co-founder Krist Novoselic posted a brief clip of the soundcheck here:

Looking forward to everyone's clips!

    Great videos, especially the rearranged Fortunate Son! Here's the complete setlist from the show:

    1. Hi-Heel Sneakers
    2. Travelin' Band
    3. Born on the Bayou
    4. Centerfield
    5. Keep on Chooglin'
    6. Bad Moon Rising
    7. Proud Mary
    8. Fortunate Son

    When John came onstage, the crew misplaced his guitar, so he and the Foo Fighters improvised with "Hi-Heel Sneakers" with John on harmonica while they found the guitar (just as he did on the Canada Tour when the drums broke down).
