John Paul Jones, Dave Grohl, Josh Homme rock
Chicago
Impossible to meet expectations account for why some bands labeled
'Super Group' don't last long. Blind Faith, the group
that brought Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker of Cream and Steve Winwood

Van Halen veterans Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar
with guitar wizard Joe Satriani and Chili Pepper drummer
Chad Smith. The other, new Power Trio Them
Crooked Vultures, made its debut at midnight in a packed Chicago
club. Get a wrap here on the 12 song set Zeppelin
bassist John Paul Jones, Nirvana & Foo Fighter Dave
Grohl and Queens of the Stone Age front man Josh Homme
did at the Metro
