March 25th marks the day that we lost Taylor Hawkins, the drummer and backbone of the Foo Fighters. His death was a shock to the music world, and WMMR was up all night with tributes when the news broke.

Taylor was so beloved, not only by fans, but by his peers. When his bandmates announced a pair of tribute concerts, we knew they would be a convergence of rock royalty that was not to be missed.

Pierre Robert was on site at the second tribute show in Los Angeles at the Kia Forum, as were Connor and Sara from the WMMR family. The entire event was recorded and was certainly worthy of a theatrical release. While we wait for that epic concert film, here's a few highlights that stood out in a night full of memorable moments.

From roughly 10:30am to somewhere around 3 (we call it Pierre Standard Time) weekdays Philadelphia rocks with (and loves) Pierre Robert on WMMR. Pierre Robert began his illustrious career at the pioneering progressive rock station KSAN, in his hometown San Francisco, but it’s through his uninterrupted 42-year tenure at Philadelphia‘s legendary WMMR that he’s made his mark. One of the city’s most recognizable celebrities will write about being at the center of its live music scene and greeting his legions of fans as if personal friends in the smallest clubs and largest stadiums.
