I love how they parodied The Beatles, Dave using a hollow body that's up super high, the outfits, the stage behavior, Dave using the kind of light alternate picking mainly instead of using his standard down picking, it's awesome!
Haha yeah Taylor is a fcking champion & Dave is actually prob an even better drummer! The Colour & The Shape was my first ever CD purchase back in '97-'98. One of the greatest rock bands of all time!!! Legends!
Here's what David Letterman said about Foo Fighters before this performance: "Let me tell you a little something about Foo Fighters...so 15 years ago, I had open-heart surgery. These people saved my life. I was out, not doing the show for, like, 5 or 6 weeks. And I was talking with Sheila Rogers [producer of The Late Show at the time], and she says 'On your first show back, is there anything special that you'd like musically?' I said 'Well, yeah.' We had got to talking, and I said 'What about Foo Fighters?' They had been on, I think, at the time, 4 or 5 times. She said 'I'll ask them, but it could be a problem.' I said 'Just ask them, and also, there's a song of theirs I would like to hear. It's special to me, it's been meaningful to me and my heart recovery. It would be just great.' 2 days later, she calls back. She says 'Ohh, they're on tour in South America.' Then I said 'Oh, darn.' Then she said 'That's all right, they cancelled the tour.' ... She said 'They're coming back to do the show, and they're going to do the song you asked for.' ...and ladies and gentlemen, happily, we've been joined at the hip."
Absolutely right, except that is what he said just before their performance of this song on the last Letterman show. This is not that performance. Look at the last show, the stage set up is totally different. Plus while they played this, they showed dozens of clips from the history of the show.
aelix56 Exactly. SO COOL that Dave loves the Foos and they came to play his fave song. FAR LESS COOL that they let the average South American ticket holder wait around for a re-scheduled show. Letterman could have anything he wanted. Why punish ppl waiting to see FF? Very bothered by this.
@@beachblond1968 it was clearly a personal favor to the dude who just had heart surgery I get it's inconvenient to the south americans but they went to support their friend
Just came here bc I wanted to see Taylor smile, feels so unreal hes gone. Thanks for everything, we will never forget the passion and love you always put on the stage. We gonna miss you, Taylor. Im crying rn, but see you smile gives me relief and makes me feel so lucky to share this timeline with you. We all love you.
That baseline is very very good. Whoever is running sound is at the top of their game. This is a wonderful song and the drum part is not the easiest to stay in time but of course they've been playing it for 20 years. Just an outstanding band.
Dave you are my idol my friend. Not only are you an amazing musician, but a great businessman, dedicated and focused, no drugs, pure brains and creativity. You my friend are the epitome of American music and entertainment entrepreneurship. And that is why you and your amazing band are my idol. God bless you guys!
@@nikkilove6213 I actually opened this account as my official chat account so I can have a little time for my fans and know how some of you feel about me and the band precisely.
Fan of Dave since the morning show when I was 10. My all time favorite Foo song on the Color and the Shape album. Always has been. Come to find Dave loves this song. Awesome!
Grunge died in 1995. It was pretty much dead by then. Garbage released Garbage in 1995 and they made fun/parody of grunge in their song Only Happy When It Rains. It was dead. It did not last long at all. 1991 or very late 1990 if you were in seattle till 1995.
This live version (Live on Letterman) of Everlong by Foo Fighters has both a cathartic and sparky music energy. The vocals and music of this live performance recreate the original in a first rate way.
I know right!! I'm a drummer and when I first learned this song it was very hard cause of the 16th notes at the beginning and dynamics are a bit tricky, but other wise it's amazing! Taylor Hawkins is their drummer and he's earned my respect!
Yes, rest in beats Taylor.....you were an ICONIC drummer.....how can I envision FOOs without you???? sympathies to his wife and children and bandmembers and friends!
This band singlehandedly kept actual, good rock music afloat from the mid 90's until today. As a rock listener, their albums have been unusually solid with an amazing 1-3 hits per release. They did great guitar and drum music during the shitty late 90's modern rock era, the shitty Metallica 2000's, mallcore and Nu Metal garbage, and up to this day. You have bands like the Killers and Black Keys taking up their own reigns in the genre, but Foo Fighters have created a seamless blend of punk roots, 90's indie rock and early 80's Van Halen arena rock to create a kingdom for themselves that defined a generation of guitar music that I'd feel proud to expose my kid to. Their drummer is incredibly under-rated. Thanks guys.
That's depressing. There's many great bands like the At the Drive In/Mars Volta that shit on the foo fighters. Shit even Paramore shits on the Foo Fighters. You have all this prog, psych rock, industrial out there. They're not even better than their mainstream contemporaries like RHCP or Radiohead. Foo Fighters are bland dad rock. They have zero classic albums and all of their contemporaries have always been better. You should listen to music outside the grammys and billboard charts. The Black Keys? Are you fucking with me?
This is a cringe mine to dig lol. You're one of those "born in the wrong generation" right ? Can't accept anything. How about Linkin Park, Green Day, Blink-182, MCR, The Killers, Paramore, Avenged Sevenfold, ... just to name a few ?
You won’t ever get a better live version of Supersonic. Whitey on them drums is what made this an anthem live, Noel playing it the beat he ever has, never been bettered live since and i doubt it will at the reunion gigs next summer. Just glad i was there to witness these lads in their pomp.
When they introduced me and my wife as Mr. and Mrs. we walked in with this starting it was sick. And we had our parents and the rest of the members of our wedding walk into Nirvana teen spirit! It was so sick!
This is one of the best rock songs of the 1990s and like wow, he should have gone out on stage back in the day, looking exactly like he does in their Everlong music video, with spiked punk hair leather and chains.
That guy was with David Grohl while they were in Nirvana. He played 2nd guitar in the last years of Nirvana's existence. That's something only 3 people can say on this planet. He's also 1 of 2 people that can say he played for Nirvana and Foo Fighters.
Absolutely epic band playing a masterpiece for a timeless and amazing late night host!!! Favorite Foo song to go along with your favorite late night host.....February 2022 it doesn't get any better than that!!!!🤘🔥❤
Lamentable perdida Taylor solo tristeza sin palabras mano solo tu musica tremendo batero por eso Dave te tuvo como su alma gemela bless ¡¡ desde Venezuela vuela alto¡¡¡
Please don’t judge me! I’m late to really listening to Foo Fighters. I knew some of their music. But not a lot. I really got in to them in this last year! Rest In Peace to Taylor Hawkins. Your talents will be missed! My condolences to Taylor’s family & friends and the Foo Fighters family.
It is with a heavy heart that we lost the great Taylor Hawkins. His drumming skills and ecstatic character will never be forgotten. RIP Taylor 😢
💔
I'm so very sad...I keep coming back to this recording...🖤🖤
the Colombian Coke is unmixed better watch out
Fuckin brilliant, no other words
Ever long not foreverlong . Promise not to stop when I say When . Power up Dave Ghrle , never stop
It must be so terrifying playing drums for one of the best drummers in history.
Taylor Hawkins is also one of the best drummers in history.
@@michaelhusada no doubt dude beats the hell out of them
That's why Taylor Hawkins is so perfect, he can actually do it
Thats a stretch. Dave is great. No denying that. But best EVER?? Idk..its one of those things to where there is no correct answer. Its subjective
Nirvana was like the simplest band ever, not to take away from their talent. But best ever? Lol
I love how they parodied The Beatles, Dave using a hollow body that's up super high, the outfits, the stage behavior, Dave using the kind of light alternate picking mainly instead of using his standard down picking, it's awesome!
Aries and the logo on the kick
Gave me more of an In Bloom vibe ... although that was also making fun of pop bands of around that time
I love it so much. I immediately thought of that video of the live performance of "I wanna hold your hand"
It wasn't a parody, it was an homage.
Good eye
The drums in this song are just amazing
Everything about this song is just amazing. The guitar work is so simple, elegant, and timeless. FF
Agreed, but it is Taylor man, he friggin is a BEAST!!!!
Ben Radka Dave did the drums in the original recording.
Haha yeah Taylor is a fcking champion & Dave is actually prob an even better drummer!
The Colour & The Shape was my first ever CD purchase back in '97-'98.
One of the greatest rock bands of all time!!! Legends!
1:51 to 1:55. WOW!
And all of a sudden, a song enters your head and it's stuck for everlong.
This is a good comment.
I feel the same way! This song has been on repeat for a whole workshift! I wish I came across this song years ago.
Yup this song is timeless!
It’s clearly a tribute the suits and even the drum setup on a stand. Plus the fonts of Foo Fighters. All together.... good comment!
nice pun. You're My Hero
RIP Taylor Hawkins. Your incredible talent will never be forgotten.
Best Foo Fighters song, in my opinion.
I'd go so far as to say one of the best songs ever Frank
Glenn Streatfeild
Very true, Glenn.
My wife and I had the acoustic version for our first dance when we got married.
Yes that and My Hero I love that song
THE LIBERALS SAYS YOUR OPINION IS WRONG
Dave can totally rock anything. Singing, drumming, guitar, suit and tie, long hair, short hair, mustache, beard. Just anything. He's everything dude.
Don’t forget the mutton chops lol
Just not bare face. That shit looks hilarious.
a f*cking legend
I'm 38 and have been a rock drummer since I was 14. I'm heartbroken. He was so incredibly talented.
Here's what David Letterman said about Foo Fighters before this performance:
"Let me tell you a little something about Foo Fighters...so 15 years ago, I had open-heart surgery. These people saved my life. I was out, not doing the show for, like, 5 or 6 weeks.

Absolutely right, except that is what he said just before their performance of this song on the last Letterman show. This is not that performance. Look at the last show, the stage set up is totally different. Plus while they played this, they showed dozens of clips from the history of the show.
And that's the day the entirety of south america declared war on david letterman.

"Breathe out so I can breathe you in" Anyone who's ever been in love knows that feeling.
amen to that :)
Make sure to brush your teeth tho
Well spoken Angela.
Very true...
Exquisite line.....♡
the song saved my life I swear
real
It's currently saving mine. Thank you for your comment!
so many times
I wouldn't say that but I definitely do come to it now and then when things get rough
we are here
Impressed by the drummer's job.
+Nombre Aleatorio I always thought the same as you for that reason I like so much this song
Funny fact: in the album that features this song, Dave Grohl, the singer, play the drums in every song
Same with the first album haha
+CINEM4 Actually four songs on the record have Goldsmith's playing
didnt grohl re-record the whole album (and thats why goldsmith left)?
Those bass fills in the chorus are incredible so simple but melodic
Seriously preem, haven't seen anyone else do those fills before and they just vibe too hard
Nate is such an underrated bassist, he's rock solid. Never plays a wrong note.
that guy air drumming at 3:46 is my hero for sure
How could you not? I've been air drumming to this song for 25yrs. RIP, Taylor Hawkins. Damn.😢
😂😂😂
These guys are a class act. And the homage to the Beatles is the cherry on top.
Wluld ike to thjnk is homage to Nirvana !
Just came here bc I wanted to see Taylor smile, feels so unreal hes gone. Thanks for everything, we will never forget the passion and love you always put on the stage.
We gonna miss you, Taylor.
Im crying rn, but see you smile gives me relief and makes me feel so lucky to share this timeline with you.
We all love you.

That hi hat work makes a tear come to my eye
Most underrated part of the song.
gives me a boner for some reason
110% AGREE with you Nick^^^
Jaclyn Overgaauw Thank you... I really wish I had friends who notice small stuff like that in music lol
Gives the song so much more personality.
The mixing in this is some of the best I've ever heard from a TV performance. The bass sounds especially incredible.
This song is just one of those songs that'll make you feel any kind of emotion. Happiness, Sadness, Love, Excitement.. the list goes on.
I love those little flairs that Nate added to the bass line, really changed the feel of this song
wutzerface77 Bro really though, I noticed that aswell
wutzerface77 cc.
They definitely change it a lot, I now add those flairs whenever I play it.
He’s actually a fantastic bassist. His work with sunny day real estate showcases his ability. Foo fighters not so much
those extra flairs are because they have two bassists lol
"My favorite band playing my favorite song." D.L.
so blessed that i found this song, incredible
The guitar at the beginning is amazing, god damn
Drop D tuning

TheBlapman yeah, but elegant as hell
@@brenner5147 probably a better riff than anything from his old band.
You are beautifull.....
2:24 Smear's face is exactly my face when I watch this
Saw them live and I was to his side... hes doing faces at all times hahahahah
I bloody love Pat Smear. Proper gent
He's such a happy boy, he's so cute!
3:45 the dude in the tie air drumming is my spirit animal
He is "My Hero" too lol ;)
that snare sounds delicious
it sounds like the drummer from Nirvana
i hope your joking.
triggered much?
PokeDJX I hope you're in some sort of English class.
TAYLOR sounds delicious... I think he's seriously becoming one of the best rock drummers of these 20 - 30 last years... Power AND groove man..!
So sad, one of the hardest losses of a musician or actor since Bowie and Robin Williams.. Take care @Foo Fighters, we are so many that mourn with you.
love this song from the foot finders
I couldn't stop smiling the whole video. He's never skipped a beat.
This mix is perfection. The engineer nailed it.
Dave you are my idol my friend. Not only are you an amazing musician, but a great businessman, dedicated and focused, no drugs, pure brains and creativity. You my friend are the epitome of American music and entertainment entrepreneurship. And that is why you and your amazing band are my idol. God bless you guys!
Well said Bro
I swear nearly all foo fighters vids, the first comment i see is
'The singer looks like the drummer from Nirvana'
Wait... is it the drummer from Nirvana?
@@jollesracing517 yes)))
The worst thing is that he actually doesn’t
And every single one of them is correct.
Tim Schilperoort no, I think he looks more like the drummer from Queens Of The Stone Age
Heartbreaking loss. Loved him and how great he is here. Rip.
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Thank you for lifting my spirits when I'm down and troubled. Ever long is my all time favorite as was your performance on Letterman. RIP Hawkins.
@@nikkilove6213 I’m sure you must be surprised to receive a message from me right?.

@@LeoLarrosa1987in our hearts maybe
Lets hear it for Pat Smear too. The guitarist in the far right. Pat has played tours with Nirvana, Foo Fighters and Paul McCartney. Not too shabby.
Obrigado Taylor , você foi uma inspiração, iria te ver amanhã no lolla . Descanse em paz, sua carisma com seus fãs e de outro mundo, obrigado 🙏🏽 😞
R.I.P Taylor Hawkins I had to watch this performance again when I heard about your passing.
This live version (Live on Letterman) of Everlong by Foo Fighters has both a cathartic and sparky music energy. The vocals and music of this live performance recreate the original in a first rate way.
awesome!! these guys are super talented, the drummer doesn't get enough love IMO
he laid some beautiful drum tracks on this one!!!
I think it needed more cowbell
***** Except Dave.
I know right!! I'm a drummer and when I first learned this song it was very hard cause of the 16th notes at the beginning and dynamics are a bit tricky, but other wise it's amazing! Taylor Hawkins is their drummer and he's earned my respect!
waqqodonkey will hunt does
Brooklyn *෴* it's a fun song to play , though I've heard that Dave laid down the original drum track on this one
One of the finest performances that I have ever seen. Grohl truly is a damn rock God.
Pat Smear played an integral part in this amazing performance coming to life the way it did.
The music here is incredibly good. Also, huge shout out for whoever mixed this; I can hear every instrument in detail which is awesome.
ive been to their concert twice, and i will def attend their concert again in the future, but it'll never be the same again.
The lyrics and drumming on this is real good
Best live version of this song imo, rip Taylor ❤
RIP Taylor Hawkins, the world loses one of the best drummers ever today.
Hes gone from the world but his music will be eternal
This song will always remind me of the energy of the great Taylor Watkins. RIP Rock Star 🙏🏽🙏🏽
the bass mixing is really nice
Love the lines just before the chorus ends
Yes, rest in beats Taylor.....you were an ICONIC drummer.....how can I envision FOOs without you???? sympathies to his wife and children and bandmembers and friends!
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Letterman's favorite song!
is that a joke because of the lyrics being a play on having guests or is it really so
Captain Silver it is true actually
It is actually his favorite song
Is true.. Letterman also had them close his last show with it.
Dave's hair is almost as epic as the song....
Yup
it reminds me of kurt's its sad
It is epic
Watching this again and again for years now. I have always loved this song and still come back to watch this Beatles-like tribute.
R.I.P. Taylor!! 🥁🔥🔥🤘🏾
❤the Band will Never Be This Good Again 😢
amazing performance
Pat Smear is so cool and an excellent guitar player !
This band singlehandedly kept actual, good rock music afloat from the mid 90's until today. As a rock listener, their albums have been unusually solid with an amazing 1-3 hits per release.

Their drummer is incredibly under-rated. Thanks guys.
You do realise that Dave and the band are huge fans of most of the music you just called "garbage", right?
Truly a cringeworthy comment. Do people still think like "I wish I was born in the 70s. All the music today sucks." lol
You really sum up the problem of why I stopped listening to music after Kurt died -- not just being in mourning but this, this garbage.
That's depressing. There's many great bands like the At the Drive In/Mars Volta that shit on the foo fighters. Shit even Paramore shits on the Foo Fighters.

You always gave your all whenever you are behind the kit.
Your music will last Everlong...
one of the best rock songs ever written
I absolutely love that this is the band that closed out David Letterman.
air drumming guy: 3:45
Sergio Rodriguez me ...
Ha
that’s so me
How dare you.
That's me in the bus everyday
My favorite Foo song!!
I can watch this performance over and over and over and feel elated, bop my head and get choked up 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. So bitter sweet 🙏🏼😔
Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.
Pat is a legend
go to the gym to work out arms? forget that, just play the drums! Brilliant performance by Taylor
Rest easy Taylor . We will miss you sir and Thank you for the music
A master class of rock & roll for youth. Thanks Foo Fighters for keep this spirit that sometimes seems lost!!!!
Bass fills at about 3:00 make the song so much better
this song. this performance. everything. rock and roll. rip Taylor
The CBS tele is all I want
I absolutely love the homage to The Beatles!
You won’t ever get a better live version of Supersonic. Whitey on them drums is what made this an anthem live, Noel playing it the beat he ever has, never been bettered live since and i doubt it will at the reunion gigs next summer. Just glad i was there to witness these lads in their pomp.
Assistindo os vídeos, uma época marcada! Descanse em paz Taylor 🤍🥀
the whole setup had me confused, then half way through i was like "The Beatles"
It's the Ed Sullivan theater, where the Beatles made their first U.S. appearance.
That’s why all the guitar straps are so high
Not to mention that Dave LOVE-LOVE-LOVES The Beatles.
Yes !!!
Even the band logo was changed to look like The Beatles logo
It's straight-up rock and roll but among the greatest musical compositions across all genres. God bless Taylor and long live the Foo Fighters.
This band is unbelievable
When they introduced me and my wife as Mr. and Mrs. we walked in with this starting it was sick. And we had our parents and the rest of the members of our wedding walk into Nirvana teen spirit! It was so sick!
Who's here celebrating Taylor amazing career and their best song ever....Long...
RIP TAYLOR HAWKINS....2022💔
Does nobody notice that Nate's weird bass line kicks ass here? So fucking good live.
Great performance! Love the Beatles tribute with the suits and the logo on the bass drum.
This is one of the best rock songs of the 1990s and like wow, he should have gone out on stage back in the day, looking exactly like he does in their Everlong music video, with spiked punk hair leather and chains.
That guy was with David Grohl while they were in Nirvana. He played 2nd guitar in the last years of Nirvana's existence. That's something only 3 people can say on this planet. He's also 1 of 2 people that can say he played for Nirvana and Foo Fighters.
Lol. "That guy" is Pat Smear from The Germs.
🙄
1 of 3, as several times Krist Novoselic had joined Foo Fighters in the studio. But as far as official members go, you’re 100% right
At their absolute prime
One of the best Drummers of my generation. Thank you Bro. A sad day for Rock and Roll. Hawkins and Perth both have their Wings.
Rest in Peace Taylor Hawkins, Truly a great musician who was taken way too soon :-(
This Is my favorite the Beatles song
Absolutely epic band playing a masterpiece for a timeless and amazing late night host!!! Favorite Foo song to go along with your favorite late night host.....February 2022 it doesn't get any better than that!!!!🤘🔥❤
I still feel bad about losing Taylor Hawkins. I almost can't watch... RIP
How cool are the Foo Fighters? "We've got new records coming out, but you bet we'll play your favorite song from 15 years ago."

Llevo años viendo este video y escuchando esta canción y no me cansaré nunca de ambas cosas. Es genial.
