Dave Grohl played a rare private gig on February 10th at Phoenix, Arizona’s Crescent Ballroom for Crown Royal whiskey. Grohl, who was featured in a Super Bowl ad for the famed Canadian Whisky, performed a four-song set at the invitation-only event, “which was meant to celebrate the hospitality and military communities while working with two of the brand’s long-standing charity partners, CreatiVets and Packages From Home.”
Grohl’s mini-set consisted of acoustic run-throughs of “Times Like These,” “My Hero,” “Best Of You,” and “Everlong.”
Blabbermouth transcribed some of Grohl’s comments to the crowd regarding his and Foo Fighters‘ connection to Crown Royal, stating, “If you’re wondering why I’m here. I’ve had a long and fruitful relationship with Crown Royal. This goes back a long, long time. I’m talking, like, late-’90s, maybe mid-’90s. We went and we hung out with this band called Pantera a long time. If you’ve ever had a night with Pantera, you won’t remember it. But Pantera loved the Crown Royal. And they got us hooked on that Crown Royal.”
