On November 19, 1994, former Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl joined a new band for one night on national television, performing two songs on Saturday Night Live with the show’s musical guests Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Except for a cameo appearance at the MTV Movie Awards that summer, it was Grohl’s first time behind a kit, in public, since Nirvana’s sudden end earlier that year.
