So stacked was the line-up for FireAid, the five-hour benefit concert staged last night (January 30) to raise funds for those affected by the horrifying wildfires which swept Los Angeles earlier this month, that the bill was split between two venues, the Kia Forum and Intuit Dome. The evening saw performances from music industry legends (Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, Stevie Wonder, Rod Stewart) rock giants (Nirvana, Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and pop superstars (Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, Gracie Abrams), plus a handful of artists - Alanis Morisette, Pink, No Doubt - who could arguably straddle all three classifications.
Performing at the KIA Forum, Pink proved her versatility by following a performance of her 2017 hit single What About Us (co-written by Snow Patrol's Johnny McDaid) with covers of two AM radio classics, Me and Bobby McGee, written by Kris Kristofferson and recorded by Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin's timeless Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, from the English quartet's self-titled 1969 debut album.
