Unbelievable Performance: Roger Waters and Foo Fighters Rock Out to Pink Floyd’s In The Flesh? on Jimmy Fallon Show – Watch Now!

Music Nation 365 Exclusive: Pink Floyd Week on The Tonight Show!

In September 2011, The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon delighted music fans worldwide by hosting a Pink Floyd week. The iconic band’s legacy was celebrated over five days with interviews featuring Nick Mason and Roger Waters, as well as exciting performances by various artists covering Pink Floyd classics.

Pearl Jam took on “Mother,” while Dierks Bentley delivered a heartfelt rendition of “Wish You Were Here.” Indie darlings The Shins mesmerized with their take on “Breathe,” and MGMT put their spin on “Lucifer Sam.” For Pink Floyd enthusiasts, this live event was a treat, even if it lacked the original band members’ presence.

However, the standout moment of the week came on September 27 when Roger Waters took the stage to perform “In The Flesh?” from The Wall alongside Foo Fighters as his backing band. This collaboration brought a new energy to the classic track, creating a memorable performance that resonated with fans old and new.

This wasn’t Foo Fighters’ first interaction with Pink Floyd’s music. In 1999, they recorded a version of “Have A Cigar” with Brian May of Queen, releasing it as a b-side before including it on the Mission Impossible 2 soundtrack. Taylor Hawkins took on vocal duties in place of Dave Grohl, showcasing the band’s versatility and love for experimenting with different genres.

Fans were treated to a raw and energetic rendition of “In The Flesh?” on The Tonight Show, with Foo Fighters infusing their signature rock sound into the Pink Floyd classic. The powerful riff and driving tempo of the song provided the perfect canvas for Foo Fighters’ dynamic guitarists, while Grohl’s electric stage presence added an extra layer of intensity to the performance.

Although some of the intricacies of the original song may have been lost in this high-octane reinterpretation, the sheer joy and enthusiasm exhibited by all involved made it a truly special moment for music fans everywhere. The performance captured the essence of Pink Floyd’s music while showcasing Foo Fighters’ ability to breathe new life into classic rock anthems.

As fans continue to relive and celebrate this unique collaboration, it serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal and influence of Pink Floyd’s music, as well as the creative spirit of artists like Foo Fighters who are unafraid to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.
