CONCERT REVIEW: Foo Fighters Bring 31 Years of Big Rock Hits to BC Place
The band played three decades of hits and honored Taylor Hawkins with a salute during "Aurora," as Queens of the Stone Age joined the set.
- On Sunday, Sept 20, the Foo Fighters performed a three-hour concert at BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, marking their return to the city where they first played 31 years ago.
- Dave Grohl recalled a 1995 show at the Commodore Ballroom on Granville Street, noting the current performance was "four times longer than when we played the Commodore in '95."
- During "Aurora," Grohl performed a heartfelt salute to late drummer Taylor Hawkins, and he reflected that writing "Marigold" 36 years ago on a beat-up sofa made the Foo Fighters possible.
- Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme joined the performance, showcasing a bond with Grohl dating to 1992, and turned stage mishaps during "Make It Wit You" into pure theatre.
- The band's current lineup features bassist Nate Mendel, guitarists Pat Smear and Chris Shiflett, keyboardist Rami Jaffee, and drummer Ilan Rubin, performing with razor-sharp dynamics throughout the tour.
