I honestly don't know how I made it through the school day yesterday because I was so excited for the Foo Fighters concert. I could hardly stand it because I absolutely love the Foo Fighters! I have seen them several times in concert but I have to say that last night was probably the best one yet! They played for over three hours! They got the night started with "Run" from their latest album, Concrete and Gold, and that got the crowd screaming along with Dave Grohl. They played a few other songs from the new album, such as "The Sky is a Neighborhood," "Sunday Rain," and "Dirty Water," but they mostly played the hits! My favorite moment came early on when they played "The Pretender," my favorite Foo Fighters song, with some fabulous extended solos. In fact, almost every song they played featured epic solos which was just fine with me. They played "All My Life," "Rope," "My Hero," which included a lot of audience participation, "These Days," "Walk," "Times Like These," "Breakout," "Monkey Wrench," and "Best of You." Throughout their set they played a few covers, such as "Under My Wheels," by Alice Cooper, "Another One Bites The Dust," by Queen, "Blitzkrieg Pop," by the Ramones, "Let There Be Rock," by AC/DC, and "Breakdown," by Tom Petty (another highlight!). During a cover of "Under Pressure," by Queen, Dave Grohl got behind the drum kit (sigh!). They also played an awesome rendition of "Dear Rosemary" with Bob Mould, who opened for them. They ended the evening, as they often do, with "Everlong." I think Dave Grohl is just so damn cool and he kept up a steady stream of wisecracks at the audience ("I've been playing for two and half hours! Get up off your asses!"). It was an amazing concert! Did I mention that they played for over three hours! The show didn't end until after midnight so I honestly don't know how I will make it through the school day today!
