Last night, my brother, Tim, and I tripped to the Rogers Centre again for another one of the best concert experiences courtesy of Foo Fighters and their Concrete and Gold World Tour. This is the first stadium show I've attended and it did not disappoint one bit. My voice is crackling and I lost more of my hearing. But it was definitely a night to remember. Check out a few pics below.
The Beaches kickstarted the event. They really got us going and rocked the house for the early crowd.
The Struts took the stage up next. Now half, if not, 75% the crowd were all for them and they put on an amazing set. Great songs and fan interaction. I'll fully see them again the chance arises.
The grandaddy of rock and roll then took the stage. The all glorious Foo Fighters tore the dome off the stadium. Opening the show with All My Life, Learn To Fly, and my presonal favourite, The Pretender, they continued with track after track of hard hitting music, words really cannot describe the experience of their set.
We were right up against the rail beside the ramp, where frontman Dave Grohl ran up and down numerous times. Adding to the theatrics, drummer Taylor Hawkins through together a lengthy drum solo above the stage.
The highlight, in my opinion, was when Luke Spiller of The Struts sang a duet with Taylor Hawkins and the band covered Queen and David Bowie's anthem, Under Pressure. This also saw us see Dave Grohl live on drums for the first time.
Ending with Big Me, Times Like These, and Everlong, it was a performance that left me still wanting more. The crowd was amazing, the bands delivered, and this will always be a night to remember. Until next time Foo Fighters.
Can't forget the merch! Picked up some tour tees. One was purchased from the stadium, one from a vendor's gym bag. One is a little better than the other, so I'll leave the judgment up to you.
