Dave Grohl + Ryan Adams worshipping a punk legend? This is church for the broken-hearted.
Last November at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, some of today's most influential artists gathered to celebrate the music of Bob Mould. Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters), Britt Daniel (Spoon), Ryan Adams, No Age, Craig Finn and Tad Kubler (The Hold Steady), Margaret Cho with Grant Lee Phillips, and Jessica Dobson (The Shins, Deep Sea Diver) all performed songs from Bob's historic catalog. Until now, only the 2,265 concert attendees have seen these amazing performances. Fortunately, the entire evening was captured in stunning audio and high-quality video quality by filmmaker Justin Mitchell.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2011 tribute arrived right as Mould's autobiography dropped, marking his full emergence as a queer elder statesman in a genre that historically erased people like him.
Disney Concert Hall's Frank Gehry architecture was specifically designed for orchestral acoustics—making the crunch of Mould's Marshall stacks bouncing off those curves absolutely unholy.
