A Playful Tribute in Tartan

Each member brought his own energy and charisma to the stage, proving that the kilt was far more than just a costume.

A HEARTBREAK ANTHEM’S SECRET ORIGIN: For decades, Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand’s iconic 1978 duet has been the definitive soundtrack for a love that’s quietly fading away. Their voices, filled with raw longing and regret, tell the painful story of two longtime lovers who have drifted too far apart to find their way back. But what most people don’t know is that this powerful ballad of heartbreak began as the theme song for a little-known 1977 sitcom called All That Glitters.

“Rock history in motion.” When Foo Fighters invited Sir Paul McCartney to join them for “Get Back,” the stage became a crossroads: past and present, legend and disciples, the Beatle voice threading through modern distortion. As the crowd erupted, Dave Grohl’s grin said everything — honored, awed, electrified. McCartney’s presence wasn’t just a guest spot; it was a bridge. You wrote that people watched “rock history and living legends collided in pure magic” — and that’s exactly what the image captures. But behind the roar lies years of admiration, unspoken preparations, and a musical lineage that led to this moment. There’s more than applause in that frame — the backstory of how this meeting came to be, how Foo Fighters prepared, and what it meant to both generations of rock — that lies beyond the spotlight.
