Lindsey Buckingham’s ridiculously rad guitar dancing over the industrial disco grind of Nine Inch Nails‘ “Copy of A,” before shifting to a truncated version of Queens of The Stone Age‘s “My God is The Sun” as Dave Grohl pounded his heart out on drums and Fleetwood’s Buckingham added magnificent new colors.
