As was similar to the DC show, the first half was completely based on Foo Fighters greatest hits. And this was just night 1 of 2 in Boston.įollowing opening sets by Boston favorites Mission of Burma, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones, the Foo's came on right at 8pm. The Fenway show was sold out with approximately 35,000 people in attendance.

Prior to the show, I walked over to a 'pop up shop' selling Foo Fighters memorabilia, only to realize their was a 20 minute wait to get into the store. When it finally arrived, Boston was ready for it. (I'm a huge Sox fan) I had purchased presale tix to this back in November, and it was a long 8 months waiting for the highly anticipated weekend. No.that would be their huge Boston gig at the Beloved Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox.

You can read the full review here.īut somehow, that show wasn't the Foo concert I was most excited for this year. Dave Grohl and company played the hits, as well as their debut album almost in its entirely. Everything came together perfectly for the Foo's 20th Anniversary Show. So I very recently reviewed an epic night with the Foo Fighters in DC for the 4th of July. With more material on the way, the Foo Fighters’ hard earned success and popularity is not set to diminish any time soon. In 2008 the band played two sold out shows at Wembley Stadium in London, England, each night rocking the world of 86,000 people. The Foo Fighters have played to sold out crowds all over the world, managing to pack out small venues and huge arenas alike. Their success is not limited to the United States, though, as they have found themselves winners of accolades from all over the globe due to albums such as 2011’s “Wasting Light” debuting at number one in 12 countries. The Foo Fighters have received a staggering 25 Grammy nominations over the past 18 years, and have managed to take home 11 awards, including four for Best Rock Album. Gentle verses lead into powerful, shredding choruses, which encapsulate the songs' emotion. Many of the band’s hit songs, such as “Everlong” and “The Pretender”, are distinctive for their melodic cores which balance out the harder edge of the Foo Fighters’ thrashing rock sound. They are as much influenced by Dave Grohl’s former band-mate Kurt Kobain’s, minimalist rock aesthetic as they are by the decadence of bands such as Queen and the melodic purity of bands like the Beatles. The Foo Fighters’ alternative rock sound has been cultivated from the band’s love of various genres and other artists. Several studio albums later and the band is still picking up fans from all across the globe. Members Dave Grohl, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear, Nate Mendel, and Taylor Hawkins have been bringing their brand of hard rock to the world since the release of their debut album “Foo Fighters” in 1995.
