While everyone else even remotely famous was at Coachella for April's middle two weekends, Seattle-born legends Brandi Carlile and David Grohl took to the streets of their home city to busk.
Their set in front of Pike Place Market on Saturday was live streamed. You can still watch their performance of The Beatles' "Let It Be" and the Foo Fighters' "Times Like These" on Carlile's Facebook page.
Carlile announced the surprise performance on Instagram just before arriving at the market.

"Honestly one of the most surreal moments of my life," she wrote.

Bystanders told the Seattle Timesthat the set lasted 15 to 20 minutes, and the two stars never formally introduced themselves to their last minute audience.
"I looked over and I was like: 'Oh my, that's Dave Grohl!" a passerby named Matt said in the Seattle Times.
Another named Dani said "neither of them spoke at all."
Fans couldn't believe how casual the entire encounter was.

This impromptu set is probably better than any Coachella stage.
