Without doubt my favourite ff recording, Taylor Hawkins fully unleashed, you will always be a legend, a star and your mastery of the drums is just exceptional. RIP
Taylor was an alien from another planet. Is it only me that keeps watching only him playing during the show? Rip taylor. 😢 The most charismatic fighter.
This is my favourite rendition of this song and the song I show and will show everyone when we discuss how great Taylor was. An amazing drummer and probably a fucking fantastic person. An absolute honor to live in a time where I can say these legends exist.
So true I saw band in 2015 and they all played amazing. Dave and Taylor were smiling all evening like it wasnt a concert for 20 000 people in big arena but evening with friends.
The Best of the “best of you” performances. Powerful, emotional, played like the last song they would ever play. Taylor’s stick twirl at 7:17 was so badass!!! Legend.
Yes, but he has to be really really cafrefull with it and take a lot lot lot lot care for it. He must protect it maybe with more professional training he already have!
Doesn't sound that healthy to me in all honesty. It has this raspy quality it didn't use to, that sounds like he's pushing too hard. He's getting older, so he might be overcompensating to a vocal change. He'll adjust, I imagine, but pushing is never a good thing.
@@mikejenkins4924 IMHO he sounds better now than he did for awhile a few years back. He's said he quit smoking, so that will probably help. That said, he's 52 now, he's not going to sound like he did at 30 no matter what he does.
@@mikejenkins4924 Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it doesn't (though again, I don't think there's any way that could not be the case for someone who sings like he does for as long as he has), only that it seems to me like he probably is taking some steps to address the issue. In recordings from 2015/16ish he sounded REALLY rough as opposed to just moderately strained like here. He'll likely never get everything back, so stopping further damage may be the best we as fans can hope for. Dave drums with gloves now too, time catches up with all of us.
It's literally impossible to watch without getting emotional.. The whole band everyone has its own thing going on but oh my Taylor.. You were something else my friend.. My idol.. You will always live on in our hearts and souls and ears we love you.. ❤️
Foos Finest. Power, melody, lyrics, epic riffage, rhythmic time changes, and executed like it was the only song that meant anything. This live version cranks it up, and they're all into it. This is what makes the Grohlsters such a good band.
There's something special about the way Taylor got so much spotlight in this song, and then him leading the final note at the end, he led the song, it was very special.
I would love to see anyone live! I’m a musician and I have played out but sadly never ever had an opportunity to actually go to a concert! So pathetic 🤦🏻♀️Love Foo Fighters love how much talent Dave possesses
@@narcolepsynonsense9346 When all of this Covid nonsense is in the rearview, you owe it to yourself. Get out there if you can for a show, even if it's in a dingy club. Some of my most memorable concerts have been in dive bar venues!
I've been a fan since the beginning, but this song cemented my love for their music. It became my anthem for a while, when I was going through some shit.
@@cosmopotts8889 honestly I agree with that too. Kurt was very particular. I'd like to believe he would move past whether he "likes" the music or not, just that he's grown as a musician.
Kurt as a young man would have hated it. I'm not sure how he would feel as they got older. It would depend on the personality type. Stubborn or not. Some people feel a certain way a particular time and carry that with them no matter what, some people grow out of it. Kurt didn't like Dave towards the later years of Nirvana. I have read articles and seen many videos on that.
My God… if anyone ever asks “how good was Taylor”, just send them this video. He is now a legend. Up there with Peart, Copeland, and any other drummer considered elite. RIP, TH.
This song and this particular performance is absolutely heaven sent!! Taylor Hawkins is incredible, the band are incredible and I love the way they all congregate around Taylor and play like the legends they are. The soft guitars leading to the drum recovery then the guitars singing louder makes my hair stand on end!! Love it 🇬🇧😍
Yeah, Dave's voice was a little rough here, and yes Puddle of Mudd murdered About a Girl, however both of them can definitely still sing if the song is in the right key. Dave is holding up much better than Wes however
I get soooooo lost in the Foo's and especially when I watch them. What I would give to have been in this room!!! Geeeezus Taylor is such an underrated drummer ... but damn he belongs right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss CONCERTS!!!!
OMG, That was the absolute best F...ing Rock Performance I have EVER SEEN! To Dave and the rest of the band! You guys are the pinnacle! and to Dave, if you ever get to read this post, Know This! If I were to die tomorrow, thanks to You, I Have LIVED! P.S Who the F...k are the 5 Assholes whom gave this a thumbs down! Are you Kidding!
Thank you, I wondered if that was what that part is called! If Dave Grohl isn’t shredding the fuck out of it, then I need that explained as well cause he looks to be ripping it to me🤘🏻
seriously! these last couple batches of them performing the new Medicine songs in their studio & all the classic hits have been mixed incredibly well. I would buy the audio from these sessions as an album in a heartbeat
When you turn one of your best songs into a straight up prog rock song just for the fuck of it....that was incredible. Howard has the best sound guys in the business, always has.
This is an amazing band with an amazing front man who’s talents are endless and I can only imagine what he’s experienced and the stories that he’s held and he’s an incredible inspiration!🎤🎼🎸
I’ve already commented on this but keep listening over and over. Taylor Hawkins has said that the legend, Roger Taylor of Queen was his hero growing up, this performance would surely give Roger Taylor goose bumps!! Mesmerising 😍🇬🇧
Looked at the comments after watching this and I can't help feeling like an echo. GREAT stuff all round but the stand out was how the video showed Taylor's work in this one. Thank you
Omg this is the best thing i have heard in days. I always get this overwhelming feeling of pure happiness, when the foos are playing, but this one even more was special, i couldnt stop smiling. Thanks for still rocking, guys!
This song is the pinnacle of FF's singles. And waddaya know, they keep going up. When life hits me hard, this is my go to song. Thank you for this incredible gift to humanity. And taylor, theres none like you. Legenda begawan. Cheers from indonesia
I love all the music critics in here, Taylor sped up. rock and roll is rock n roll, fuck the mistakes. Not even a Foo fighter fan and that drumming was bar none.
I think the older Dave gets the better Dave gets ... these guys have inspired my 39 year old ass to try harder at learning guitar and for that I'm Thankful!!! such fun awesome songs that mean something to me that I'm sure holds a completely different meaning to them as to why they wrote them but so many of their songs I relate to and connect to instantly ! THANK FOO!!!!!!
awesome version with a really epic bridge part!! all foos performing so well just as we know it from them! I especially dig the coolness of chris shiflett in this one 😄🙌🏻
Without doubt my favourite ff recording, Taylor Hawkins fully unleashed, you will always be a legend, a star and your mastery of the drums is just exceptional. RIP
I just knew I needed to listen to this version again when I heard the news. I'm still in disbelief, thank you Taylor.
Love detected. He fucking loved every minute he was smashing the drums. Legend. He was Neil Peart's spirit animal.
Thank you Dave Grohl and company, for saving rock and roll. Kudos also to Jack and Meg White. Love detected.
@@kp-rv3uiIndeed. Another lost amazing talent. He was phenomenal.
So we'll said. Perfect. Love.
There will never ever be another drummer like Taylor Hawkins! Just phenomenal! Good God, RIP Taylor, we miss you so damn much.
In every live performance, these guys are playing like it's their last. Love the passion.
Amazing live band
Heck yes. U said it perfectly. I feel it in my bones and cells the same way
Majestic. Goosebumps.
And then it was…
Taylor Hawkins is fucking incredible.
He sped up when he came in. Just sayin 🤷🏻♂️. Wish I was their bass player 👍🏻
@@jonathongoldby4564 I would love to see you play that song like Taylor did Jonathon. Just sayin.
He still sped up 👍🏻
@@jonathongoldby4564 wtv it gave the performance more energy
🤣
Taylor is a machine, he can't be human. Shit was flawless
He is really good
R.I.P
Taylor Hawkins looks "Unleashed" - like he's having the time of his life!
I would imagine so after being “forced” to not play live shows for a year lol I would feel the same way
Dave's always called him the happiest drummer on earth.
@@abrahamruiz8473 I don't think that's the right use of inverted commas🤔
Probably feels good to not play whatever Dave is calling music on this new record
@@tommurrayGTR what do you mean inverted commas? Those are quotation marks dude lol
The drums hit different now that Taylor’s gone. RIP to a LEGEND
What an epic version of this song.
Taylor was an alien from another planet. Is it only me that keeps watching only him playing during the show? Rip taylor. 😢 The most charismatic fighter.

Yes, but he has to be really really cafrefull with it and take a lot lot lot lot care for it. He must protect it maybe with more professional training he already have!

I’ve been watching this all day….and still can’t believe Taylor is gone. RIP
Taylor was amazing to watch. He put everything he had into his music. He was unbelievable.

There's something special about the way Taylor got so much spotlight in this song, and then him leading the final note at the end, he led the song, it was very special.
gosh your comment there broke my heart all over again 💔💔
The wall of sound they create with the guitars is so great
Well if you wanted to see a great song made even better, here it is
Everyone should experience the Foos live! 😝🤘
I would love to see anyone live! I’m a musician and I have played out but sadly never ever had an opportunity to actually go to a concert! So pathetic 🤦🏻♀️Love Foo Fighters love how much talent Dave possesses
Seen them three times, agreed they give you every damn penny's worth. Also the loudest band I've ever experienced live as well.
@@narcolepsynonsense9346 When all of this Covid nonsense is in the rearview, you owe it to yourself. Get out there if you can for a show, even if it's in a dingy club. Some of my most memorable concerts have been in dive bar venues!
I'd LOVE to see them live as well!! Whatta phenomenal band!!!!
I saw them at Reading 2019. Front row. Mind blowing.
Dave is screaming my pain out, and thats why i love this song
I've been a fan since the beginning, but this song cemented my love for their music. It became my anthem for a while, when I was going through some shit.
Taylor may be the last drummer that makes my skin crawl when I listen to him... I miss you more every day.
RIP Taylor…without doubt my favorite performance of his. That mini drum solo goes crazy
I think Kurt would be really proud of how far dave has come with his band. I know its cliché but this is what I believe.
kurt cobain would probably think this music sucks ass
@@cosmopotts8889 honestly I agree with that too. Kurt was very particular. I'd like to believe he would move past whether he "likes" the music or not, just that he's grown as a musician.

I have read articles and seen many videos on that.
I find it demeaning to mention Kurt Cobain every time the Foo Fighters is under discussion. They're different bands. They both have their place.
@@notadane you find it demeaning? Lol piss off
An anthem of our generation. Long live to the Foos!
My God… if anyone ever asks “how good was Taylor”, just send them this video. He is now a legend. Up there with Peart, Copeland, and any other drummer considered elite. RIP, TH.
He really had the fucking chops and flash god he made it look so fucking cool
Foo fighters forever for life for eternity in my head in my blood from France 🖤🖤🖤
Passion, drive…just like the first time…we love you, Taylor…..we salute you guys….
Taylor is hands down in my top 3 drummers. He is so good
yeah he is in my top five of all time too he is amazing on the kit , but that still only makes him the second best drummer in this band
@@harleybaldwin7015 ahh mate!! Come on.
I just died and went to Foo Fighter heaven. How sexy was that breakdown in the bridge? Sweet baby Jesus. 🥵
This song and this particular performance is absolutely heaven sent!!
Taylor Hawkins is incredible, the band are incredible and I love the way they all congregate around Taylor and play like the legends they are.
The soft guitars leading to the drum recovery then the guitars singing louder makes my hair stand on end!! Love it 🇬🇧😍
Can’t wait for the Puddle of Mudd cover of this.
Yeah, Dave's voice was a little rough here, and yes Puddle of Mudd murdered About a Girl, however both of them can definitely still sing if the song is in the right key. Dave is holding up much better than Wes however
@@CasualGameDev rough? This is the best he’s ever sung it, aside from the acoustic shows, since he hadnt been screaming for 1.5hr already.
I get soooooo lost in the Foo's and especially when I watch them. What I would give to have been in this room!!! Geeeezus Taylor is such an underrated drummer ... but damn he belongs right here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss CONCERTS!!!!
Patty..me too, I would have cried 😭
fuckin' Hawkins killin' it on the kit!!!! Superhuman!
Holy Shit!!! That was fucking amazing!!! A memorable performance!!! Taylor....I don't have the words...speechless!!!
I get goosebumps whenever I see them playing live, especially this song! And Taylor man, just wow. I could watch him play all day everyday!
oh my goodness i always get the chills when he sings “i’ve got another confession to make”
OMG, That was the absolute best F...ing Rock Performance I have EVER SEEN! To Dave and the rest of the band! You guys are the pinnacle! and to Dave, if you ever get to read this post, Know This! If I were to die tomorrow, thanks to You, I Have LIVED!
P.S Who the F...k are the 5 Assholes whom gave this a thumbs down! Are you Kidding!
They gave a thumbs up dude :)
Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins. It feels unreal and unexpected. You were the reason I became in love with drums again. ❤❤❤
So emotional! This is one of the best live versions of this song!!! 🖤
Reading festival was amazing. Was at the front row!
@@wrylnd wow so lucky!!!
i adore that change they do to the bridge!
It's so fucking good!! They have done it for some years but jesus it's too good 😍
Thank you, I wondered if that was what that part is called! If Dave Grohl isn’t shredding the fuck out of it, then I need that explained as well cause he looks to be ripping it to me🤘🏻
Raw emotion and energy, blows every other rock band out of the water
Thumbs up for this KICK ASS MIX
seriously! these last couple batches of them performing the new Medicine songs in their studio & all the classic hits have been mixed incredibly well. I would buy the audio from these sessions as an album in a heartbeat
@@iwillnevergetone5 I'm sure they have some insane engineers on their live shit now
Where is the bass?
When you turn one of your best songs into a straight up prog rock song just for the fuck of it....that was incredible. Howard has the best sound guys in the business, always has.
This is an amazing band with an amazing front man who’s talents are endless and I can only imagine what he’s experienced and the stories that he’s held and he’s an incredible inspiration!🎤🎼🎸
Endless, nameless?
Man, Taylor absolutely killed it on the drums in this
RIP to a legend
all out emotions from taylor. man. goosebumps. everywhere.
The best, Best of You there is, and ever will be.
My favorite guys… they are so talented and awesome🩵❤️💜♥️💙🧡

That was so fucking great! Goddamn Hawkins you've made my day!
This gave me the biggest chill of my life. Twice, that breakdown is amazing
Everyone played great but Taylor Hawkins... Holy f?ck. Now his performance was AMAZING!
I love all the music critics in here, Taylor sped up. rock and roll is rock n roll, fuck the mistakes. Not even a Foo fighter fan and that drumming was bar none.
7:45 Taylor fitting those fills in so tight at such a high tempo is insane
Taylor is one of the greats. What an amazing performance and we all miss him so much.
A moment in time.. an incredible moment in time 😢
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Mamma mia...no words....people...I wanna embrace all of them ...ONE BY ONE!

Just WOW!
best ever live perfomance of this music.
Always love that interlude live, but this was special.
La buenísima música de mis Foofighters...que injusto que Taylor ya no esté ...os amo banda hermosa!❤❤❤❤❤💔
That was like some sort of epic Led Zeppelin jam, there.....these guys have always promised not to stop when I say 'when'.
And for that I'm grateful.
The guitar at the beginning of The Pretender sounds kinda like Stairway to Heaven?
@@courtneymoore3177 you're right, it does kind of sound like that 👍🏅
Great sound in the Sirius studio.
You guys are awesome
The best version!
Completely inspiring. Such a beautiful performance to wake up to. Thank You Foo Fighters...
Been waiting for that instrumental for a long time. 3:00
PURE FUCKING AWESOME.
They are “The Best” 🤘
awesome version with a really epic bridge part!! all foos performing so well just as we know it from them!
I especially dig the coolness of chris shiflett in this one 😄🙌🏻
OMG. Coming back to watch this again after having been at the LA tribute has me with tears streaming down my face!😢
Goosebumps all the way. Play this beauty in some good speakers 🔊
Brilliant!
I love jams like this I want this in a band I have someday
Simplemente hermoso!! Taylor gracias!!! ❤️❤️❤️
True blue rock n roll so awesome to see these guys doing what they love THANK GOD FOR FF!!!!!!!
Love this version this is what my life needed at the moment with this lockdown in England 🇬🇧 that you
Wow... new bridge. And taylor... crazy 😅
they still got it 26 years later holy shitt
damnnnn they still got it!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Wow !!!
Dave - Taylor interactions...enough said! 🖤🤘🤘🖤
This is my fave Foo Fighters song ❤
I liked the middle part of the song when they lower the intensity. That shit was awesome.
Had a Pink Floyd feel to it
Beautiful (best for sure)
I saw them a couple of weeks ago. An epic song this is when played live. I got goosebumps when they did the instrumental part
You reckon Dave has ever swallowed his gum mid growl
Probably
So much power
Awe 💔 Brings me back to my instrumental bands in that middle!
chills and tears...
This version is awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FF forever !!!!!
Still sounds good after all these years😍😍😍
God, thank you for letting me hear this.
