First, Joe Walsh, and now Rick Nielsen!  We can get used to these classic rock giants showing up to perform with the Foo Fighters.

Nielsen joined the Foos during their show at Chicago’s Wrigley Field last night (July 29) to perform “Ain’t That A Shame,” the Fats Domino classic song Cheap Trick famously covered on Cheap Trick at Budokan.  

Nielsen, of course, is no stranger to the Foo Fighters.  The guitarist appeared on their 2014 album Sonic Highways and on the HBO docuseries of the same name, which chronicled the making of the album.
