Dave Grohl seemed to be living his rock and roll fantasy last night at the debut of the Sound City Players at the Sundance Film Festival’s Park City Live. Or at least putting the super in supergroup. “It’s going to be a long fucking night – you know that, right?” Grohl said to the cheering crowd before bringing 17 musicians on stage for three-plus hours of performances from Rage Against the Machine’s Brad Wilk, Queens of the Stone Age’s Alain Johannes, Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic, Masters of Reality’s Chris Goss, Lee Ving, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Slip Knot’s Corey Taylor, Rick Springfield, John Fogerty and Stevie Nicks.

“We’re not even close guys,” Grohl said an hour into the performance. “Everybody do a shot.” 
Divided into an evening of mini-sets backed almost entirely by Foo Fighters (who apparently learned 50 songs in 10 days) Grohl guided the crowd through a live history of the Sound City Studios (and his own musical development). Introducing Lee Ving, he told the story of hearing the artist at age 12 and “knowing in that moment he wanted to be a musician.” Or listening to Cheap Trick’s “Surrender” as a drunk sixteen-year-old.
