Watch Dave Grohl and Beck Team Up on a Thunderous 'E-Pro'

Dave Grohl and Greg Kurstin joined forces with Beck for a rendition of “E-Pro” as a part of the duo’s ongoing Hanukkah Sessions venture.

The efficiency came about on Dec. 5 on the Largo in Los Angeles, with the official video launched at present (see beneath).

Beck dealt with guitar and lead vocal duties, with the ever-powerful Grohl on drums, Kurstin on keyboards and the latter’s the fowl and the bee bandmate Inara George serving to out with the music’s infectious “na na, na na na na na” refrain.

Beck scored a hit with “E-Pro” in 2005, as the one reached No. 1 on the choice chart. He’s half Jewish from his mom’s aspect and has firmly rejected strategies that he’s a scientologist.

“I’m not a Scientologist. I don’t have any connection or affiliation with it,” he told the Sydney Morning Herald in 2019. “My father was doing Scientology within the ’60s, so it’s one thing that has been round for many of my life. But the one time I hear something unfavourable about it’s in interviews. In the true world, individuals I do know, they don’t give a [expletive]. I used to be raised celebrating Jewish holidays, and I think about myself Jewish.”

Watch Beck Join the Hanukkah Sessions to Perform ‘E-Pro’

The Hanukkah Sessions, which began in 2020, find Grohl and producer Kurstin covering famous Jewish acts. In previous years, they have delivered these songs in studio locations, with occasional guests. This year’s installment marks the first time the sessions have been recorded and released from a live show. It’s not their first live Hanukkah-related performance, however, as Grohl and Kurstin played a Hanukkah Sessions set in 2021 at the BottleRock festival in Napa.

The Largo gig was a charity event, benefiting the Anti-Defamation League. Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, pop singer Pink, Tenacious D and director Judd Apatow were among the performers during the event.

Grohl and Beck have a friendship spanning back to the ‘90s, when they were major forces in the era’s alt-rock revolution. The two have shared a mutual respect ever since. When Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear reunited to play Nirvana songs at a January 2020 charity event, Beck was one of the guests who joined them.

A conversation with Beck inspired actually inspired Grohl to move to the San Fernando Valley. “There’s that funny stigma that is the San Fernando Valley, that it’s not a cool place to live,” Grohl told the Daily News in 2013. “I never understood that. So when Beck said ‘I think I’m gonna move out of Silver Lake.’ I said, ‘Dude! Valley! You’ve gotta go Valley.’

“The engineer within the studio stated: ‘The Valley? You don’t need to dwell within the Valley,'” Grohl added, “and I stated, ‘Well, why?’ And he stated, ‘Because it’s the [expletive] Valley!’ That’s once I realized, that’s precisely the place I need to dwell. Let all people have the opposite aspect of the hill. I’ve the [expletive] Valley!”
