Up until last night, Metallica was the best live show I had ever seen.
That is, until Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters rolled into town. Considering I had never seen the Foo live before, I went to the MTS center with high expectations. I loved their newest album "Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace" and was fully prepared to sing along with any anthems they decided to choose. But what I witnessed was much more than just another rock show. Dave Grohl treated me to the kind of electricity that wreaked of experience and the kind of on-stage savvy that can only be gained by writing, recording and touring vigorously for the past 13+ years. Even those who had seen the Foo in concert before were blown away by the intensity that they brought this time around.
Considering Dave is rounding 40, one would think father time would at least show signs of catching up to him. Not a chance in hell. His voice is still every bit as powerful as it ever was, if not better. Witnessing this show made me realize that Dave Grohl is THE performer of our generation. He's taken what Kurt Cobain started so many years ago and refined it to the point of perfection. Long live the Foo Fighters.
