Foo Fighters, Friday night at Sprint Center
In June 2008, Dave Grohl and the rest of Foo Fighters played two sold-out shows on a rotating stage at Wembley Stadium in London. At the very end, as fireworks lit up the skies above the stadium (which holds approximately 90,000 bodies), Grohl stopped and covered his eyes with his hands. He appeared to be crying — a fitting end to the biggest Foo Fighters show ever.
This past Friday night, at Sprint Center, a near capacity crowd got to feel firsthand a similarly powerful presence and emotion. Grohl and various lineups of his band have been performing for 16 years. To say that they put on “quite a show” is an understatement. It was close to two hours and 45 minutes of unadulterated arena rock dished out by a frontman who lovingly fed off the crowd’s energy and adoration.
