The mighty Foo Fighters

After an agonising wait, behind the screen on stage a drum stick was thrown into the air – the crowd went crazy, then it was thrown again, and again to loud cheers every time. The crowd were being built up for what was to be one of the greatest rock shows most will have ever seen.The feedback to ‘In Your Honour’ kicked in, and after this point I can guarantee no-one in the building will have looked at their watch or left to get a drink, the Foo Fighters didn’t let up for 2 hours, playing a selection of songs from all five of their albums to date. An extended version of ‘Stacked Actor’ saw Dave Grohl run to a platform at the back of the floor area to trade guitar solos with Chris Shifflet. Dave was a true performer, putting every ounce of energy and enthusiasm he could possibly have mustered into his playing and singing. He ran from one end of the stage to another and had a huge grin on his face as though he was absolutely loving it! A sensational version of ‘Everlong’ began acoustically with Dave, and then the rest of the band joined him for the last chorus. DOA was fantastic live, and new single ‘Resolve’ was excellent, as was ‘I’ll Stick Around’. ‘Times Like These’, ‘No Way Back’, ‘Best of You’, ‘Generator’ and ‘Breakout’ were all played, and every single song they did made you want to jump up and down and scream along to the lyrics with Dave!
