Foo Fighters (http://www.x1063.com/iplaylist/artist/144725/) frontman Dave Grohl paid tribute to his former band Nirvana during a set at England's V Festival.

Following a surprise acoustic show earlier in the day, the rockers took to the stage in Chelmsford, Essex on Saturday night and made a reference to the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" band.

Before launching into "Learn To Fly," Grohl said, "This goes out to Snow Patrol, Pink and the band I used to drum for..."

He added, "...Juliette and The Licks! Man, I really blew that gig!"

How cool for Nirvana to be remembered. I am up in Seattle for the time being and have been able to poke around the old neighborhoods and clubs where Nirvana played in the early days. Even walked by my old store on Broadway where all the grunge musicians in the day used to frequent. Brought back a lot of memories. Don't miss the rain, but miss the musical cauldron Seattle used to be.
