5 Top Highlights From Foo Fighters’ Los Angeles Stadium Show

Foo Fighters closed a two-date stand at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium on Sunday night with a nearly three-hour set that would have threatened to blow the roof off the venue if it had one. 

From the high-octane opener “The Teacher” (which is typically part of the encore) to standard closer “Everlong,” Dave Grohl and bandmates showed why, 30 years in, they are one of the most enduring, beloved rock bands out there. A show of hands revealed that lots of fans had been at the Friday show as well, and the band went out of their way to shake up the setlist, swapping out six songs and making the second show three tunes longer. The concert ended just before 11 p.m. in a blaze of fireworks.  

While they have always rocked harder live than on record with an exhilarating passion, Foo Fighters have also blended their solid crunch with songs that were heavy on melody, which led to a night of sing-alongs on such fan favorites as “All My Life,” “Times Like These,” “My Hero,” “Learn to Fly” and “Best of You.”

Nearly three hours later, as the band got ready to finish the show with “Everlong,” Grohl reminded the audience that he didn’t like to say goodbye and that he and his bandmates would be back again. “Nobody’s packing this in anytime soon, just so you know,” he said, which drew a heavy cheer from the crowd. 

Below are five highlights from the concert.
