I'm reading the comments and agreeing with all the hype. But can we please talk about Taylor Hawkins? The man is a gem, he always plays his soul out, he's a massive talent, and he is constantly playing and smiling like he's the star in the latest toothpaste commercial. That man elevates music. He is the drummer your favorite drummer speaks highly of. Can we all just agree he makes this everything it is.
The drummer is the heartbeat of the band. It sucks that sooooooo many great drummers get overlooked. And you are absolutely right...Hawkins is a fantastic drummer and his “drum face” is THE BEST!
I remember a Foos concert at a festival.. Dave was ill, he had nearly no voice. And still they played for 3 hours, Taylor helped him a lot and the show was beyond awesome. Thank you Taylor, you created pure art. Loved him performing under pressure. Rest in peace, still can't believe this tragedy 💔
I cried for the last days, thinking of having running dry. You made me crying on and so I 'll continue to leave it to an open end. In times like these, One could hardly face reality, that did never ever hurt like THAT! Never felt such a deep and endless, black painted and pure broken sorrow, Dear Taylor!
Pat Smear is so beyond cool that he looks like he is watching the other kids in the band - proud as a bigger brother in an actual garage-band practice with younger siblings for a school performance - noting some talent in the other kids if they practice a bit.
What I really respect about Dave and the boys, is that whether they are playing for 100 OR 100,000, they still put all that they have into the song! Brilliant!
Yeah, Dave is one of those rock stars that shows that he genuinely loves his job. He doesn't thrive on the fame or hate it, he just loves to play his music and entertain. He looks like he's having fun EVERY TIME HE PERFORMS. That's amazing. He's also a pitmaster, so I greatly respect that.
I think part of it is that he always has been and always will be a music fan. He remembers what is was like stumbling on those records for the first time as a teenager, what it was to meet your heroes for the first time, what it was like to get into the small club and be pressed up against the stage, etc. Etc.
That one lady in the glasses in the front row is having the time of her life. No phone distracting her. In total sync with the band. Awesome. Love the Foo Fighters. I hope get a chance to see them live in concert.
I know eh? I would really hate to see them stop their present tour. They had a few Canadian dates and I wanted to see them the 1st time If Dave Grohl and his band accept all the Love and Support that's out here for them, maybe they will resume at some point. ALL THAT TALENT should be tapped into
i want to be friends with her! my friends are lame at shows. she danced with dave and remained respectful by not groping him. unlike the second time dave went down, not enough dancing.
Linda Flewelling I know right! I found her a tiny bit cringe at first because she literally knew every word to every song, but she is actually awesome!
that was me at cal jam alllll the way in the back, man you shouldve seen me and this random dude when they played nirvana songs we jumped for joy and were the only ones trying to start a mosh pit (nobody in the actual...pit...disappointed)
Pat is such a fucking badass. The oldest man in the band, the voice of wiseness and reason, and still a fucking punk rocker. The energy, the passion, amazing.
RIP Taylor. Im extremely happy to have had the pleasure and privilege to see and hear you in person years ago. Thank you for all your years of great drumming and good times. This show truly shows all of those great qualities you represent. Enjoy your time up there with the greats.
[YOU ]This show truly shows all of those great qualities you represent [ME} As a drug abuser, it's not a great quality as a mortal individual, so you say QUALITYE(S) His habits are not a great example to society, whether he's in the public eye or not. Your comments have become a large & clear example, nowadays.... What not to follow
Greatest thing Dave ever did was add Pat to the fold. I would love to have a coffee with Pat and Dave but I'll just hang and listen to Pat. Seems like a genuine great guy
After 1 week, it still feels surreal that Taylor is gone… Finally I am able to see concert videos, this is 4th or 5th in a row that I watch today. Never thought I will be crying watching rock concerts… The band and lady with glasses in front row having a blast, just living the best times of their lives… reminds me of myself at their concert. I’m only hoping for time to heal our broken hearts and that one day this will be back, even though it will never be the same again…
You should feel so lucky and proud of being in one of their concerts. This was my whole life band, for every moment, and never had the chance to see them live. Even if I see them it won't be the same without Taylor. The reason why I loved drums.
The Foo Fighters are that Phoenix that rose out of the ashes of Nirvana. Thank you Dave for all the work you've done to kerp the torch alive. Kurt is watching with approval and we love you for it.
One of the best bands of this generation if not thee best! You can tell they play for the love of it. I love how the audience is part of the band in this gig. My heart absolutely breaks for the band and the family of Taylor. He was an amazing musician and a ray of light. I pray he’s engulfed in an endless ocean of love for eternity.
Not sure if anyone notices but the blend of the 3 guitars is so critical in their music and their choice of instruments is key. Chris plays a lot of Teles which are great for hi end and picking the chords, Dave on the 335 which is thicker and more mid toned then Pat play a baritone guitar which rounds out the low end of the guitar spectrum... The result is 3 parts working together to make one big fat sound!
Whenever I feel sad, I just look at Pat Smear playing guitar and I feel better. The man always looks like he’s thinking “holy crap this is the best thing I’ve ever done!” Same with Taylor, RIP
The Foo Fighters are probably the last true rock stars. They all absolutely love what they do and are still having the time of their lives. Songs they have sang every day for 20 years and they still give it the energy of the first night. They genuinely care if the audience has a good time and want to make sure that when every single person front to back talks about the best show they ever saw, it's theirs. That's the ego to have. It sucks Taylor left the show early. After Kiss and the FF, there won't be another one. And for that I say thanks for all the fish.
I love how all the old videos are getting new likes and comments. The first song feels ironic now, it is indeed times like these that we learn to live again. Even if we don’t want to right now.
One of the most talented bands in rock history. They can play all their songs to perfection. But they can also play every other bands songs as well. No egos. Dave and Hawkins can exchange vocal and drum duties. I love these guys.
Taylor dropping his stick at 1:09:51 and still playing even whilst trying to pick up his stick,, and then playing a section with the stick upside down to flip it the right side up right before the main riff, what a legend. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
They all seem really happy to be the Foo Fighters, I love seeing a band that's just friendship and camaraderie, and on top of that they are fully tight in the rhythm section. It looks like a bunch of mates who are accidentally brilliant
I so wish we could turn back the clocks - so Taylor could be with us again - his music career ended way too soon - RIP Taylor Hawkins you beautiful human x
Black heart with a gaping wound, put back together by a troubled groove. Is now shattered into a million pieces. My thoughts and prayers go out to Taylor's wife, kids, band mates and of course my fellow Foo Fans. Gods added another percussionist to his All star band. Neil Peart, Keith Moon, Charlie Watts and now Taylor Hawkins. Long Live Rock, be it dead or alive!
Sooo awesome. I love how Dave lets Ashley join and completely goes along with her doing not quite what they agreed on initially. When you spontaneously invite someone up on stage, you gotta just Grohl with it.
This video shows us how great Taylor Hawkins really was at playing the drums. I am so glad I got to see him oerform. So sorry for the loss. Rest in peace legend.
They make you NEED to dance; one of the many things I love about them. They always put on a great show, even if it's in someone's garage. Just love them.
I've followed the hawk from Alanis morissette coattails and seeing hawk play in many many different situations bands and he is always spot on..,;:"::"!; I don't jump on the bandwagon and compare him to Bonham or Ward or cliff Taylor Hawking is the master of his craft and for all you drummers out there keep on fucking drumming and if you make it fucking a;
I have been a musician for going on 20 years and I must say its people like Dave that keep me going. Other than him being inspiring and a insanely talented musician he is just a wholesome human.
While no one can predict the future, I'm fairly certain that the Foo Fighters cannot continue - as heartbreaking and solemn as that is. Not because a killer drummer couldn't technically play the music, but something unique and essential is forever lost. As Bonham is/was that essential strand of DNA of Led Zeppelin, Taylor is to Foo Fighters. Can you visualize, after 20+ years, Dave looking back to sync up with Taylor, knowing as a drummer instinctively what is going to occur in the next millisecond - only to see someone else in the seat? I didn't think so. that's what WE see. On a deeper level, it's impossible to describe knowing what is about to be played, even the first time for something new and unique. Like knowing what your lifelong partner is about to say, only and 120 BPM, lol. Pandemic related references we hear about the "empty seat at the table" This is the forever empty seat on the stage. I remember hearing Dave describe this friendship as the "longest relationship I've ever had" Forget the salacious shit about "10 Substances" found - so what if he took meds of ANY type? He was functioning on a level few ever attain, solid, reliable and the epitome of what "hard rock" is. Because of the incredible cardio levels of playing that way constantly, his heart was massively outsized (600 grams - to average men's heart is 250-350gm) - metaphorically, physically, literally and figuratively Taylors heart was too big. Who would disagree? For me it was that child-like innocence... that normality he maintained throughout all of his personal success. It wasn't the financial success that pleased him -those seeking to buy happiness often find there isn't enough riches in the world. To be as grateful as Taylor was, to find intensity and joy with what life brought, vs ever seeking, never finding... Parallels have been drawn to Kurt, but they were different as night and day. Analytical vs. simple (in the greatest sense of the word); cynical vs innocent, dark vs light, grateful vs. unsatisfied, challenging vs accepting. Stories abound, about invoices for gear he bought kids at the local drum store, visits to elementary schools, his love of people, drums, kids, drums, his own wife, kids and extended family, drums. Sense a pattern here? I don't know about Dave, Pat and the rest of the band, or anyone else in the world, but There Goes MY Hero. If you see this posted in a few places, please try to understand. I am deeply and irrevocably saddened and simply want to share and remember.
I think Dave puts too much pressure on his band members and any known name wont take that risk to fill that position. Also 10 substances are not medicine
I have since read an article that stated Taylor as saying, my body is so bloody sore and im exchausted... hence the meds and THC found... he also is said to have mentioned, how does he do a 20 somethings job at 50 and survive...
Definitely one of the most talented bands in Rock History!! I love these guys and everything they do is amazing. Even when they cover other bands songs. In a lot of cases they do the songs better than the band that the song they are covering!!
That it is Shane! That it is... Glad you made it through lock down and Covid and all the other crazy stuff the last year! See you healthy next time in the Foo rabbit hole my strong friend. EDIT: So much of fun Shane! So much of fun. Ensure the RUclips all-go-rythm brings you back in a few months. Stay safe all of you until then.
I watched this the night b4 Taylor's news. . I cried a few times...poor Dave. Long love the nirvana, foo fighters and rest in beats Taylor Hawkins. You will be greatly missed brotha
The eyes of Taylor talking about his best friend in the world, the coolest and also the nicest person in the whole world, Dave, was so awesome. Seriously one of the best, if not THE best duos of any band ever in rock history. Never be the same again... :´( Thank you Dave for being so seriously cool and nice at the same time...such a unique personality!
Got to love the foo! Truly the music got me through being paralyzed from a flu shot in 2018 I'm up now regaining life.learning to walk again! "Let there be rock"
The secret of DG putting this band together? My guess is that he put on an atomic clock driven metronome and adjusted the beat-rate by a micro-second - watching these (not so) random guys throw up as a physical reaction. He is a drummer after all. Not the best instrumentalists in the world - but they are effing physically unable to slide off beat from each other. Making sure that his buddy Taylor will refuse even the slightest deviation by anyone. Proving how greate 4 over 4 can sound when being respected and understood. To the point that when they do slide the BPM ever so slightly, they do it collectively and organically. The pacing of this band is effing telepathic. And because they do not have a recording rolling in the background - they can play the pacing. Probably better than any other band on Earth since the days of Prince and peak E-street band and some few. While also truly enjoying playing live as that little purple genius did. With a deep understanding that musicians are nothin if they are not working those instruments together. Perhaps the most amazing thing though is that I actually believe they are a gang of semi-functional buddies. Now, if we could teach kids (for their own sake) to understand that this concert was filmed and posted on youtube better than their own private phone-recording could ever be, maybe they could just let themselves go for an hour like my favourite girl with foggy glasses?
I hope this girl found this video. She fucking sang Everlong with Dave Grohl & the entire band and it was professionally recorded. Id be talking about it every day of my life.
Sharing this incredible concert, with this clear sound, is a gift of humanity for all the broken hearted friends and lovers and family members of the powerful shining One and Only Taylor Hawkins. I broke into peaces! No one can repair. Not even the f... thing we call time. Thank you for everything and being and staying my lifeguiding, bright shining sun. Thank you, Taylor!
Totally on my bucket list it has been for years. Anywhere from Minneapolis to Texas to Chicago. I don’t care as long as it’s after my 430 coffee at McDonald’s and before my first stroke.💜💜💜
El año pasada los vi en concierto en San Diego con mi hija de 11 años estuvimos tan cerca del escenario, todo el concierto mi hija en mis hombros, el mejor concierto de nuestras vidas, un sueño que teníamos de ir juntos a un concierto de foo, estuvo increíble gran recuerdo para ambos

Dave mandated the Vax for them . Fucking idiot
TAYLOR LIVES!
Well thank you eternally
How are you planning to remember hem?
He didn't die for natural cause, I would like to know!
Neil and Taylor, crashing cans together forever. The love they showed in real time....

The Hawk!!! Love him!!!

Thank you Taylor, you created pure art. Loved him performing under pressure. Rest in peace, still can't believe this tragedy 💔
I cried for the last days,
thinking
of having running dry.
You made me crying on
and so I 'll continue to leave it to an open end.
In times like these,
One could hardly face reality,
that did never ever hurt like THAT!
Never felt such a deep and endless,
black painted and
pure broken sorrow,
Dear Taylor!
What concert was this? I'd love to find it and watch it! ❤
@@victoriapraechter459 search in youtube "Foo Fighters Live at Rock am Ring 2018 HD"
I just love Pat Smear, he always looks like he's watching his favourite band when he plays.
He always looks so awkward up there like he is trying to focus on not screwing up. LOL
Pat Smear is so beyond cool that he looks like he is watching the other kids in the band - proud as a bigger brother in an actual garage-band practice with younger siblings for a school performance - noting some talent in the other kids if they practice a bit.
Tiberius Wallace that’s because he is. He’ll never be a foo fighter in mind.
that is so fn true! i never noticed until reading this comment. well done.
exactly so much passion
What I really respect about Dave and the boys, is that whether they are playing for 100 OR 100,000, they still put all that they have into the song! Brilliant!
so true, i just seen them Dec. 1st 2017 in fresno for a croud of 17,000ish,.. and they still gave it there all like they were playing say @ Wembley
Carol Milam true shit !!!!!!! They love what they do and we love them for that !!!!
I saw them at CAL JAM and they had the same energy as here. amazing.

A bit different scenario for seeing them in concert now.
If you are recording on your phone…you ain’t there 🙄
I agree. Put your f'n phones away and enjoy the show as meant to be. Rip Taylor. Love to all
Really seems she is, lovely to see such a level of pleasure being had!
That woman in front is having the time of her life!!
i want to be friends with her! my friends are lame at shows. she danced with dave and remained respectful by not groping him. unlike the second time dave went down, not enough dancing.

And the most important: she's not with a cell phone in her hand.
Pat is such a fucking badass. The oldest man in the band, the voice of wiseness and reason, and still a fucking punk rocker. The energy, the passion, amazing.

Well put! They flew right out of the ashes and keep soaring. I will be a witness to their flight in August. My first Foo concert!!!

when you do things not for someone but because you find its a way of your one and only expression it comes out great times 100 levels.

The result is 3 parts working together to make one big fat sound!
You nailed it. Often their sound runs a chord pattern up while another runs down around Dave’s pattern. It’s simple, deep and tone perfected.
So true - plus all those different chord inversions. Great musicians.
Interesting!
It's a real nice blend no doubt!
God I’d love a 335…
Whenever I feel sad, I just look at Pat Smear playing guitar and I feel better. The man always looks like he’s thinking “holy crap this is the best thing I’ve ever done!” Same with Taylor, RIP
Sound engineer needs an award for this. Flawlessly Perfect.
The Foo Fighters are probably the last true rock stars. They all absolutely love what they do and are still having the time of their lives.

I love how all the old videos are getting new likes and comments. The first song feels ironic now, it is indeed times like these that we learn to live again. Even if we don’t want to right now.

Christ, Taylor is a front man in a drummers body...and a damn good one at that...at both.
That smile makes me think he wasn't real. Just smashing, having the best time ever.
Taylor dropping his stick at 1:09:51 and still playing even whilst trying to pick up his stick,, and then playing a section with the stick upside down to flip it the right side up right before the main riff, what a legend. RIP Taylor Hawkins.
Love You Taylor, you were my favorite drummer of all time, THANKS FOR GIVING YOUR ALL 🌬☠🏴☠️❤👍🏻👍🏻
Perfektni pisen nazivo, vynikajici Foo Fighters😅❤
They all seem really happy to be the Foo Fighters, I love seeing a band that's just friendship and camaraderie, and on top of that they are fully tight in the rhythm section. It looks like a bunch of mates who are accidentally brilliant
Feels like that doesn't it!
I swear, the more I rewatch this live the greater it gets! It should be in the hall of fame of greatest live shows
Yep, agree...
Thank you Taylor,God bless his family,Dave,the band and foo fans everywhere. I will miss your smiling face and the joy you brought.
Can we all just agree that Pat Smear is the coolest guy ever?
Yes. He is the GERMS. Punk rock 4 ever.
I so wish we could turn back the clocks - so Taylor could be with us again - his music career ended way too soon - RIP Taylor Hawkins you beautiful human x
Dave: Can you imagine a singing drummer?
Taylor: I've learned from the best.
💔
There will never be another one like Taylor. Deeply missed.
I fucking love that you can see taylor singing the songs in the background. What an extraordinary guy.
His face and smile and energy are beyond infectious. He's damn near a Muppet.
Taylor stole the spotlight on Sunday Rain, Gosh how I'm going to miss seeing this guy playing drums and singing
Black heart with a gaping wound, put back together by a troubled groove.
Is now shattered into a million pieces.
My thoughts and prayers go out to Taylor's wife, kids, band mates and of course my fellow Foo Fans.
Gods added another percussionist to his All star band.
Neil Peart, Keith Moon, Charlie Watts and now Taylor Hawkins.
Long Live Rock, be it dead or alive!
Charlie Watts too
@@paulinestavaris3114 No slight was intended to Charlie. Thank you and I added him to the list.
Sooo awesome. I love how Dave lets Ashley join and completely goes along with her doing not quite what they agreed on initially. When you spontaneously invite someone up on stage, you gotta just Grohl with it.
I said the CHORUSES...mashugana
right?!?
It was lockdown when I’ve discovered this video. One of the few good memories from that time.
This video shows us how great Taylor Hawkins really was at playing the drums. I am so glad I got to see him oerform. So sorry for the loss. Rest in peace legend.
The Foo always gives me chills, as if they're singing my ife
Mad respect for taylor. Being able to sing so wel while drumming is no easy feat
Many years ago, in 1969, I saw the Doors
They played til 3
The Good aso give everything to their fans am
That had to be amazing!
So good seeing Pat smile. Such a great guy!!!!
Talyor... gone from this world... but will never be forgotten... you're a legend that will live in our hearts and minds
Gained so much respect for Dave for going into the audience
They make you NEED to dance; one of the many things I love about them. They always put on a great show, even if it's in someone's garage. Just love them.
God I almost cried at the end of this. RIP Taylor
Love me some Foo s and Taylor is such a natural on the drums kills it every time ...someday I hope to them live😘
What I dig about Dave Grohl is that while he takes the music extremely seriously, he doesn't take himself too seriously. So much fun!
dave is really the most humble, nicest and the coolest rockstar, i fkn love him man

10 substances are meds... my mother is on 9 and she does bugger all, all day, she doesnt jam for 3 hours everyday like a maniac
I suspect your on the money....
Totally agree with you. I can't imagine another drummer.
I have since read an article that stated Taylor as saying, my body is so bloody sore and im exchausted... hence the meds and THC found... he also is said to have mentioned, how does he do a 20 somethings job at 50 and survive...
Rip Taylor you young god
Es increíble como una persona como Taylor dejo en nuestros corazones esta energía y autenticidad, te extrañaremos por siempre.
Definitely one of the most talented bands in Rock History!! I love these guys and everything they do is amazing. Even when they cover other bands songs. In a lot of cases they do the songs better than the band that the song they are covering!!
Fantastic music by really great people.
That it is Shane!
That it is...
Glad you made it through lock down and Covid and all the other crazy stuff the last year!
See you healthy next time in the Foo rabbit hole my strong friend.
EDIT: So much of fun Shane!
So much of fun.
Ensure the RUclips all-go-rythm brings you back in a few months.
Stay safe all of you until then.
Can't help but shed a tear. 😢
What a loss.
STOLEN 💔🙏
They always give the best they have and it's just right and great .Just the King Dave and his band , boys 🙏😇🤘🤙
ASHLEY CRUSHED IT! I don't know where she is right now, but I'm guessing she remembers singing with the Foo's.
Hopefully, she picked up a singing gig!
Great show! thanks Dave, thanks foo fighters for bringing such happiness in these dark times!
I watched this the night b4 Taylor's news. . I cried a few times...poor Dave. Long love the nirvana, foo fighters and rest in beats Taylor Hawkins. You will be greatly missed brotha
It's performances like this that make you appreciate how amazing their music sounds in a small venue. I would have loved to have been there.
I miss you so much, Taylor. Such a great musician and a guy too. Long life to the Foo
1:10:31 Pat's punk rock roots right there, look at that downstroking!!!
Hey Dave, just awesome. Come to Perth and stay with us. We love Taylor. Not gone but continually loved.
What a frontman Dave Grolsh is, LIVING LEGEND, what a BAND!!!!!!!!!! XXX.
YES!!!! I was so happy to discover this! I love Foo Fighters! Dave Grohl is such a decent guy, and Taylor, you are a frigging awesome drummer!!!
The eyes of Taylor talking about his best friend in the world, the coolest and also the nicest person in the whole world, Dave, was so awesome. Seriously one of the best, if not THE best duos of any band ever in rock history. Never be the same again... :´(
Thank you Dave for being so seriously cool and nice at the same time...such a unique personality!
Got to love the foo! Truly the music got me through being paralyzed from a flu shot in 2018 I'm up now regaining life.learning to walk again! "Let there be rock"
I love this band so much. Ever since I saw them in the Wellington town hall 20 some years ago. Never looked back!
Killer show.
He is the chosen one.
The secret of DG putting this band together? My guess is that he put on an atomic clock driven metronome and adjusted the beat-rate by a micro-second - watching these (not so) random guys throw up as a physical reaction.
He is a drummer after all. Not the best instrumentalists in the world - but they are effing physically unable to slide off beat from each other. Making sure that his buddy Taylor will refuse even the slightest deviation by anyone. Proving how greate 4 over 4 can sound when being respected and understood. To the point that when they do slide the BPM ever so slightly, they do it collectively and organically.
The pacing of this band is effing telepathic. And because they do not have a recording rolling in the background - they can play the pacing. Probably better than any other band on Earth since the days of Prince and peak E-street band and some few.
While also truly enjoying playing live as that little purple genius did. With a deep understanding that musicians are nothin if they are not working those instruments together.
Perhaps the most amazing thing though is that I actually believe they are a gang of semi-functional buddies.
Now, if we could teach kids (for their own sake) to understand that this concert was filmed and posted on youtube better than their own private phone-recording could ever be, maybe they could just let themselves go for an hour like my favourite girl with foggy glasses?
I think its funny that music has come to the point where we think bands are amazing if they dont play with backing tracks haha
As a musician my one and
Only wish is to hopefully Jam with the foo fighters! They are my gods
We miss you Foo Fighters ! all our prayers with you guys !
Sunday Rain.. has to be instantly a classic here
huge energy in this band , positive vibes only, thats what i feel from them. Im motivated after watching this, so thank you.
Rip Taylor Hawkins cali coast boi ahead of his time from the 90s. Always gonna be a remembered legend
I hope this girl found this video. She fucking sang Everlong with Dave Grohl & the entire band and it was professionally recorded. Id be talking about it every day of my life.
What a band. Wow. The lady in the front row w the glasses is my spirit animal.
Sky is a neighborhood has got a really uplifting chorus, very nice!
25 Fucking awesome years.......... I will always love the Foo....... 🙏🙏🤘🤘
I want a Dave Grohl Bobblehead on my dashboard, so I can jam in my car to Foo Fighters with Dave everyday!!!
LoveSound MusicCure Dude, same here xD
This is brilliant. Ideally his leg bounces up and down too in true Grohlism fashion.
Holy shit! Me too!
haha i never knew i wanted this untill now!!
Yes! How can we make this happen? Any bobblehead makers out there?
Sharing this incredible concert,
with this clear sound,
is a gift of humanity
for all the broken hearted friends and lovers and family members of the powerful shining One and Only
Taylor Hawkins.
I broke into peaces!
No one can repair.
Not even the f... thing
we call time.
Thank you for everything and being and staying my lifeguiding,
bright shining sun.
Thank you, Taylor!
On Sunday Rain, I love how Dave would sing with Taylor but would also step off to the side to give Taylor the spotlight.
I luv Taylor's E.V.H shirt
What the actual fuck!! Josh sounds so powerful. Im glad they found a cool drummer

How on earth was Pat Smear one of the members of one of the craziest bands ever. The dude is so chilled!
Totally on my bucket list it has been for years. Anywhere from Minneapolis to Texas to Chicago. I don’t care as long as it’s after my 430 coffee at McDonald’s and before my first stroke.💜💜💜
I love Pat's little smile. It always looks like he's got a secret or that he's remembering a funny joke he told the guys backstage. ;D
it is crazy to thing how pat smear is not recognized more for how much he always plays the middle of every song.
El año pasada los vi en concierto en San Diego con mi hija de 11 años estuvimos tan cerca del escenario, todo el concierto mi hija en mis hombros, el mejor concierto de nuestras vidas, un sueño que teníamos de ir juntos a un concierto de foo, estuvo increíble gran recuerdo para ambos
wild to actually be able to make out what Nate Mendel is playing
Can't stop watching this video. Just too good!
Just love this performance
Dave is definitely one of the best frontmen ever.
I can't wait to see the Foos in concert for the first time in August! Was a Christmas gift! Also got a Foo shirt, CD and Dave's book. I'm Foo ready!!!
