      Looks like he's using Dave Grohl's monitors and microphone. The drums are probably loud as is Dave screaming at you, but the other instruments are probably pretty low in the monitors. The front row is more likely to go deaf!

To hear Dave Grohl say that IN Canada I thought was funny. It would be like going to Liverpool, England and saying “nobody knows all the words to Hey Jude”

At one point during Ramble On Page does this high to low slide about 15 frets up the neck and Dave just freezes for a second watching, soaking it in...
