On Thursday night, P!NK was one of many artists who performed at the FireAid benefit concert, taking the stage at the Kia Forum for an impassioned set that included a cover of Led Zeppelin’s version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.”
P!NK began her portion of the night with a rendition of 2017 song “What About Us,” after which she told the crowd that she was going to “keep my feet on the ground” with “a couple of songs that bring me comfort.” She then launched into a stirring cover of the Janis Joplin classic “Me and Bobby McGee.”
After belting her heart out on the “Bobby McGee” outro — which made her “almost pass out” — she took a drink and asked the audience “We got any Led Zeppelin fans out there?” Responding to their applause, she said “Alright, thank God” and introduced the next song: her version of “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You.”
P!NK, of course, is a very talented vocalist, and brought those skills to her take on the song, leaning into its bluesy feel with a smoky grit, and soulfully wailing over its high-energy breakdowns. For the climax, her guitarist delivered a blistering solo. Watch a clip of the performance below.
FireAid was organized to raise relief funds for Los Angeles after devastating wildfires his the city earlier this month. The concert was held across two venues, and featured performances by Nirvana, Green Day and Billie Eilish, Joni Mitchell, Anderson .Paak and Dr. Dre, Lady Gaga, Olivia Rodrigo, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stevie Nicks, Jelly Roll, P!NK, Sting, Stephen Stills, John Mayer, Earth, Wind, & Fire, and more.
