Dave Grohl's Sound City Players visited New York this week, and after their gig Wednesday at Hammerstein Ballroom, the band stopped by the Late Show with David Letterman to play their new track "You Can't Fix This." Grohl led the Foo Fighters, Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Alain Johannes, a talented group that sounded like a band that has been together for years.
