Dave Grohl
American rockers Foo Fighters played the first of three last-minute UK club shows at Brighton’s 600-capacity Concorde 2 venue in Sussex ahead of a headline slot during the closing ceremony of the first Invictus Games at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London.
Posing under the pseudonym 'The Holy Shits', tickets for the show were announced at 4pm the previous day and sold out (almost) instantly. Using the small capacity of the venue and loyal fan base as a precedent for choosing a mixed setlist, Dave Grohl, Nate Medal, Taylor Hawkins, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee tore through a 2-hour set peppered with tracks less-often played live including opener Enough Space, Up In Arms and Big Me.
Pointing out the presence of tribute band UK Foo Fighters in the audience, Grohl called up front man Jay Apperley to the stage to sing a song – ”Come up here brother, let’s see what you’ve got!”. Apperley scrambled through the sweaty crowd to the stage but went green as the opening riffs of screamer White Limo were strummed, however he did the song justice as Grohl relinquished vocal duties on one of the more vocally challenging songs in the Foo Fighter’s repertoire.
The main set was closed out with Hey, Johnny Park! and Everlong from second reconrd The Colour and the Shape before the band returned to the stage for a one-song encore of classic One by One track All My Life which was dedicated to all the fans outside the venue, who had been listening through the windows the entire night. Grohl requested the blinds be lifted so the fans outside could catch a glimpse of the magic on stage, requested the main audience quieten down so he could hear the outside screams and often drifted over to play to them during the closer.
All in all a fantastic re-introduction to one of the best touring rock bands of today and while no new material from the band’s forthcoming studio release ‘Sonic Highways’ was played, we very much look forward to the live experience with new material.
David Eric Grohl _!
imposibleeeee decir todo lo que transmitis♥
Si dentro de 20 años un hijo le pregunta a su padre: '¿Conoces a los Foo Fighters? ¿Qué disco debería tener?'; sin duda alguna la respuesta sería "In Your Honor".
