Foo Fighters star Dave Grohl wowed the intimate crowd at Los Angeles' Largo dinner club on Wednesday night (18Mar09) as he ripped through his favourite classic rock songs during a three-minute medley with composersinger Jon Brion.

Grohl was an unannounced guest on comedian Greg Proops' monthly Largo chat show - and he wowed diners with career tales.

But it was his jam with resident venue performer Brion which proved thehighlight of the night - the pair performed classics by Rush, Foghat, Eddie Money and the Edgar Winter Group in a three-minute medley.

Grohl also performed a reading of the selected lyrics of heavy metal group Manowar.

Chatting to Proops, the rocker recalled his first acid trip, revealing he tried to make himself a coffee while coming down from his high - and knocked himself out.

He said, "I saw this percolator... and all I could think was, 'Coffee!' So I take it down, plug it in, don't put anything in it, and then, poof! I was thrown to the ground, in altered states, out of my mind! I was out for, like, two days".
