Watch Dave Grohl Cover ‘Summer Breeze’ With Beck and Tenacious D

As the group broke into the first chorus of “Summer season Breeze,” Grohl ambled onstage to sing the song’s yearning electric guitar riff (not compared with his vocalized rendition of the “Stairway to Heaven” solo throughout his 2000 visual appeal on The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn).

“Summer time Breeze” peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Scorching 100, moving into a three-way tie for Seals & Crofts’ most important hit together with 1973’s “Diamond Girl” and 1976’s “Get Nearer.” Jim Seals, the duo’s principal lyricist and singer, died in June at the age of 80.
