Yesterday was Foo Fighters Day in Richmond, Virginia, and what better way than to celebrate with a Foo Fighters concert. Last night, Dave Grohl and co. made good on their promise to play a crowdsourced show to 1,500 diehard fans, who had purchased tickets on the mere premise that it might inspire the band to return to Virginia’s capital for the first time in 16 years.
Making up for lost time, Foo Fighters rattled through a 23-song setlist of greatest hits and fan favorites. Grohl also took time to pay tribute to late GWAR frontman David Brockie and share a favorite memory of the monstrous metal band. “One of the greatest compliments I’ve gotten in my life … they asked Brockie about a Grammy nomination and he somehow made his way to me and said, ‘Dave Grohl has actually had teeth removed so he could fit more Grammy dicks in his mouth.'”
Below, you’ll find a few fan-shot videos from last night along with the full setlist.
