Original post: Pearl Jam's highly anticipated, very sold out, only Philadelphia area show is this Wednesday evening at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion. This leg of shows are rescheduled from their 2020 tour that was planned in support of their album Gigaton.

If you recall, this concert was our introduction to the Verified Fan system which added an extra layer of verification to all potential ticket purchasers. The band does everything they can to make sure that true fans are buying tickets. So does WMMR.

MMR's Program Director, Bill Weston, is offering up his own personal tickets for a contest, but they have to go to a serious fan. The same guy who gave us "three legged stool", "barn door", "privileged" "Santa’s gotta go" and countless other gems has handed over a pair of seats to The Preston & Steve Show to give away live on air.

The morning show has not announced yet how they will be giving away the tickets. The only details that have been confirmed are that the contest will happen Wednesday morning. Listeners are encouraged to start listening beginning at 6am to increase their chances of winning.

One lucky MMR listener is actually going to Win The PD's Tickets. Tune in to 93.3 WMMR beginning at 6am on Wednesday, September 14th to score those tickets. Good luck!

In memory of the first anniversary of the passing of Taylor Hawkins on March 25, we're looking back on the two tribute concerts organized by the Foo Fighters. The London and Los Angeles shows were incredible events full of light and love. They were reflections of Hawkins, himself. Foo fans the world over will forever miss and remember one incredible drummer and ambassador for rock music.

We send our thoughts to the family and friends of Taylor Hawkins on this anniversary and every day they miss the unique force he was.

The Taylor Hawkins Tribute Concert at London's Wembley Stadium on Saturday, September 3 will likely go down as one of the most emotional and cathartic moments in rock in 2022.

The stacked bill featured some of the late Foo Fighters drummer's best friends, biggest influences and peers. Combined, those artists delivered an incredible six-hour show. It's one the thousands in attendance and those watching around the world won't soon forget. The Foo Fighters, themselves, delivered an incredible set where they were joined by a number of different drummers. Among them were Josh Freese, Travis Barker, Nandi Bushell, Rufus Taylor and Shane Hawkins, Taylor's 16-year-old son. If that weren't enough, Paul McCartney made a surprise appearance, too.

Preceding the Foos' set was an all-star lineup of performers that included Queen, Rush's Geddy Lee and Alex Lifeson, Stewart Copeland, Brian Johnson, Lars Ulrich, Mark Ronson, Violet Grohl, The James Gang, The Pretenders, Them Crooked Vultures, Supergrass and more.
