I was the kid Dave came up to, and I come watch this back every now and then. It really was an amazing moment, and I can't believe all the comments I see about me! I just don't want people to think I was some ungrateful little kid. I'm a huge Foo Fighters fan and I think that Dave wrote the song to describe the "times like these". If anyone watched the entire webcast, they were lucky enough to see that I got Dave's shoes at the end of the show.. I still have them on display in my home. I would definitely want to go back to this day. I just thought people would want to hear how I felt about my experience, don't mean to brag at all.
I feel like that's just the kind of dude dave is, he's got a massive heart and he does it for those reasons, just a moment of his time and he helped to make someone's life shine so bright in that moment and you'll always have that man, i couldn't possibly be more happy for you dude, and proud of the way Dave carries the weight of rock and roll with cool and graceful hand. You picked the right band to be such a big fan of bro.
Haha, awesomeness!! Before even seeing this comment I was thinking to myself "wonder if that kid even realized how cool of a moment that was". Good perspective dude!
Honestly, that moment with Dave, the kid, and the guitar, makes this performance one of the most epic performances of all time. It makes me smile and tear up with joy every time I watch this.
I think it's no coincidence The Foos dressed like the Beatles when they played this Ed Sullivan theatre. Even the logo on the drums uses the same font the Beatles had on their kit. Dave never misses a trick!! The ultimate rock band!!!!!
Hard to believe! R.I.P. Taylor. Definitely one of the best Drummers and all around cool dude! Prayers are with his family and many friends. Dennis 61 years Austin, Tx
Dave Grohl has almost single handedly kept rock-and-roll alive over the last two decades. Future generations will owe an immense debt of gratitude to him
@@IanOPadrick I think you have to take the garage rock / post-punk revival groups out of the equation, because there were a shit ton of good rock bands during that era (The Strokes, White Stripes, Libertines, Interpol, etc)
@@TheStereoField I'm not saying the White Stripes did it singpehandedly, but there is a marked uptick in the popularity of these bands after the White Stripes put Elephant out, specifically when Seven Nation Army hits. And Jack White has continued to carry that forward, Help Us Stranger by his project The Raconteurs beat out Old Town Road the weekend they both came out for the #1 spot
@@TheStereoField I think the point is - Foo Fighters are still on top and making great music - since 1995. Generations of fans. Of those you mentioned, White Stripes are defunct, Strokes were inactive for like seven years? The others are not at the same level.
I've always wondered if the kid in the audience that Dave reached out to still watches this video and if he still gets a thrill from it. God bless the person that took him to the show too. That must have been such a thrill for you all. I know I would never forget that night. I would be willing to bet that Dave gave him some incentive to get into music.
I wish it would. I just got told by my daughter, who I just met again for the first time in 15 years, that got took away from me because of her slimeball dad, that she didnt want to see me again because o didnt qant her the first time
Without a doubt, the most underrated band ever... Dave is such a class guy, I’ve seen many concerts when he involves the fan base. Shows his appreciation every time. Fan for life!
Foo Fighters are hardly underrated. 😅 I know real fans from age 20 to guys in their 60's. A local band covers a Foo Fighters song at least once every gig.
Awesome song. Even the chords and leads are phenomenal. The tacky bass licks and the drumming. Hell even the lyrics are badass. If you ever wrote music you would know they had fun writing this.
RIP Taylor. What made you the best drummer is that I can hear you so well, I tend to focus on your drumming. Man, you could slam that thing. And you had fun doing it.
Man,what a beautiful song and what a beautiful band period!: great live band. I now know why Mr.TAYLOR Hawkins is so much well loved and respected. This here is truly a tight family. Dave Grohl and his Foo-Fighters band" Great Drummer' very solid- Very heavy Hitter" a powerhouse drummer, very "Locomotive like a Chu ' Chu'Train-love his style Taylor Hawkins is now a Rock 'N Roll Legend Forever ' Everyone misses him.
I think this is by far the best live version of this song. Between the sound management, the middle at 2:20 and the ending, just an amazing recording!!
The passion that these guys display on stage is stirring and humbling. As an aspiring artist I am "mouth agape" as I hear what they do. Masters of their craft and will go down in history as one of the greatest rock bands ever. Funny that they weren't in it to be the greatest, it happened through their true passion and commitment.
The last time I saw a friend of mine was when he sent me a message/video on facebook playing this song. He died that night. This is an amazingly special song. Rest in Peace Wayne Roberts xxxxxxxxxx
Listen Kid, I see everybody I lost pretty much everyday, you have a chance to recover, enjoy the time you had, and remember. I never had that luxury of celebrating someone's life, you do. Now I'm drugged out and feel numb, hopefully your young enough to get help that will help. Me, I'm just drugged up and dead inside, can't wait for peace, don't know why God did this to me, but I'm damn sure gonna tell him send me to Heaven or Hell, I don't want to come back here, ever. At least God is Mercyful and I won't suffer too long. Can always count on Dad and Bro and The Spirit to take care of my worthless ass.
I learned to play this 16 years ago. It meant the world to me then nut it took a whole new meaning on when we learned of my mum's cancer. This was the first song I heard after we heard it come be treated. Not looking for sympathy guys, just saying. This song is the shit! Love you guys!
Ik Thomas the moment was so perfect. The fact he went out of his way to the audience and interacted with that kid was so awesome. That kids gonna look back and think "it's times like these you learn to live again". Sorry that had to be said :P
I get the feeling that this year is a particularly good time to see this band, so excited! Not been this jealous of a kid since my cousin got a Buzz Lightyear in 95...
I never knew where they were from until after tonight when I watched a video of the reading festival and Dave grohl said they were from out side Washington DC in va That’s right where my dad’s family is from my dad was born in falls church va just across the Potomac river Can’t wait to go visit out there I really think the foo fighters are great

really ? you're so lucky man ! Foo Fighters still didn't come to my city and you get to get in close with him, how lucky you are

agreed 😲
12 years and counting!
@@Aannon COUNTING CROWES THE BEST BAND I EVER BEEN ✌️🇬🇧🇬🇧
@@Aannon THE JET LAG🤣🤡🇪🇦
it's even more years ago now😮
Rock n' Roll bands need to perform wearing suits more like they did in the 60's, this is so classy and cool.
Perfect sound mix for a live show. You can tell every hit on every instrument
Yup, this is way better than the original recording which sounds a bit muddy. I love that Nates bass is all over the place, great!
Honestly, that moment with Dave, the kid, and the guitar, makes this performance one of the most epic performances of all time. It makes me smile and tear up with joy every time I watch this.
Nate's bass never sound so loud and powerful
Nobody.... NOBODY has as much fun working as these guys!
RIP Taylor Hawkins, absolute beast of a drummer❤
😢😢😢
💔💔💔
We lost the best in the world. 😭
R.I.P. Taylor and Techoblade
Neil Peart's spirit animal. May they drum together into infinity.

Yea I spotted that right off. my roommate didn't get it till i filled him in. Was a fantastic idea!
George Routherford be the Quiet Foo?
Always a joker... and always paying respect where its due. A class act and a GOOD guy... all round.
I LOVE THE WAY Pat Smear JUMPS AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES :D
That kick drum is on speed !
This song always kicks me up on my darkests times.
Me too .. I get fired up and I hit the trails on my bike blasting this song over and over again . Been a dark last two years for me.
We need this on days like this.
What is going to take to get these guys in the R&R Hall of Fame. They are the definition of what it is to be a rockin, tight, band.
Grohl,goes down and shows the kid the chord,Wow pure class!
Hard to believe! R.I.P. Taylor. Definitely one of the best Drummers and all around cool dude!
Prayers are with his family and many friends.

The Foo writes some beautiful songs that bring up a well of tears from deep within that I forgot I had. This one is another one of those songs.
Dave Grohl has almost single handedly kept rock-and-roll alive over the last two decades. Future generations will owe an immense debt of gratitude to him

2:49 - Why DG is a national treasure. The music’s an afterthought. 💪

just my humble opinion, this song may just cure depression...
Better than Prozac!

Great Band! Handsome David!
that just warmed my heart
Woo so cool and super sweet Dave, this kid must be happy. :-))
The bass is awesome !!!
Super cool! What a sound! What a band!
So sorry about Taylor. His brotherly bond with Dave was something very special. They were like family.
GRANDE TAYLOR !!
I never get sick of hearing this song............ 🤘🤘🔥🔥
AWESOME PERFORMANCE! Love Foo Fighters, Dave ...needed this! bangin my head :-)
My favorite Foo fighters song, really good!!
Without a doubt, the most underrated band ever... Dave is such a class guy, I’ve seen many concerts when he involves the fan base. Shows his appreciation every time. Fan for life!
they just made the HOF and one of the best and biggest not really underrated
Underrated really?! You want underrated you should check out Rival Sons
Dave's cool, cool with the fan base but he did throw William Goldsmith under the bus
Foo Fighters are hardly underrated. 😅 I know real fans from age 20 to guys in their 60's. A local band covers a Foo Fighters song at least once every gig.
I don’t think you know what the word ‘underrated’ means!!
Million hugs to u guys from a fan for decades so sorry, I feel like I lost a friend and we never met ,only thru love of music
I miss Letterman and all the musicians he had on his show and outside the building. I was fortunate to see him live twice when visiting New York.
Foo Fighters. The best of the best! Can't wait to see them live again! They ROCK!!!!!!
This is the Foo's at their best....
Love the somewhat subtle Beatles themes that FF use in these performances. Can't go wrong with that!
maybe it's called Homage?...
@@ArielS62 Yep!
Like In Bloom.
It is the Ed Sullivan theater. Yes, an homage to the Beatle’s 1964 debut in the US.
Amazing!!.
Rocked my socks off in Perth recently...and it takes a lot to do that x Dave I love youxxxxx
Awesome song. Even the chords and leads are phenomenal. The tacky bass licks and the drumming. Hell even the lyrics are badass. If you ever wrote music you would know they had fun writing this.
Mi banda FAVORITA💓 Foo Fighters 💓
Love your guitar Dave!!!
what a kick ass version of my favorite FOO tune!!
One of most exciting and happy songs ever written! Brazil loves FF! 🇧🇷
RIP Taylor.
What made you the best drummer is that I can hear you so well, I tend to focus on your drumming. Man, you could slam that thing. And you had fun doing it.
The happiness on the face of that kid is priceless.
This guys have so much energy!
That was probably the best time of FF career. They were just FUCKING AWESOME. They still are.
Man,what a beautiful song and what a beautiful band period!: great live band.

2:59 is the time when the kid thought: "Damn, I wanna play guitar now"
Simply awesomeness
Bass badass!!!❤🔥
I'm glad the Foo's decided to continue on. But it will never be the same without Taylor's raw drumming and huge smile. Rest in peace. ❤

First time watching the Foo's since Taylor. Still hurts

Wrong !! There are other few out there
Disturbed, Limp Bizkit, Korn, QOSA, Metallica
What? Hahahahaha
@@db2848 yes, dude! Those are still bands that didn't sell out like scrawny little emos and still rock out hard
