BB2ME #18 — Playing with all your heart is the best option
Dave Grohl walked on stage. He smiled at me. He was ready to rock. I wondered if I was properly prepared for the concert.
The same thought and question went through 19,000 minds as Dave strutted around the stage, strumming his guitar, yelling, “are you ready?”.
It was a hot summer night last year. I was attending a Foo Fighters concert with Kim at Merriweather Post Pavilion. What happened next was awesome.
Hours of pure energy and passion
Dave played the opening chords of “All My Life”. The band kicked in as the crowd erupted. Next, they played “Learn to Fly” and “The Pretender”.
Three classic Foo Fighters songs in a row. We were sitting on the lawn when the concert started. Everyone was standing after that barrage, bouncing to the music. I had not witnessed that kind of energy in a large crowd for years.
It was something to behold. The only person who was more excited than the audience was Dave. You could tell he was loving every minute of it.
