"Times Like These & The Pretender & Hocus Pocus" Foo Fighters@The Garden New York 6/20/21

[@debbiegrimm6893]

I am a 52 year old disabled Headbanger. I am going to start following the Foo Fighters around the Country. Seeking anyone who loves them too. Let's Headbang to the best Rock Band Alive til we Headbang ourselves to Rock n Roll Heaven

[@IconSix]

I was there last night and this quite literally may be the best concert I've ever been to. And this opening could not have been more perfect. Almost a religious experience.

[@paulateetree8437]

I'm feeling it you lucky, lucky person. I'm jealous as hell! I welled up at 2:34 when he almost cracked emotionally connecting with the crowd.

[@paulateetree8437]

@@jamessollazzo4860 Do you think it’s fake? Looks like he’s a crowd junkie and gets off on the audience interaction.I could see how that could be emotional. Heck when I watch them I get emotional.

Your not alone……found myself with tears running down my face multiple times on Sunday. The lyrics in “Times Likes These” need to be any everyday affirmation……’cause I know my soul felt renewed.

[@topocom1]

Some Dutch music-history, a piece of Hocus Pocus from Focus (9:05) (from the year1973)

[@Ruinlol]

Damn, he just looked straight into my soul.

this is one of the most incredible videos that i've ever seen here on youtube. it makes me cry so fuckin much. thank you jim for that

I was there and I am so glad I went. The opening of the show was so emotional.

[@avoqado89]

1:25 Dave breaking the fourth wall, staring into our souls.

[@Hellwyck]

That's not breaking the fourth wall since the The Crowd are supposed be a known entity.

[@SaiyaJinDX]

Thank you for sharing this. When he hit the line “It’s times like these we learn to live again.” A tear welled up in my eye. Just a chilling moment followed by the bombast of their rocking out. Such an awesome night.

[@thatswhattheyis]

I never stopped living, only the fearful stopped. I still took several vacations during the ‘rona lockdowns and did nothing different. I worked every day and even went to work with it. People need to get over themselves.

[@jimpowers10411]

@@thatswhattheyis - I think the point of his comment is that live shows returned. There were no rock concerts this past 15 plus months with the exception of a random show here or there. Live touring ceased during the pandemic. This show is part of the kickstarting of live music/touring and live rock n roll returning.

[@Phloptical]

@@thatswhattheyis you went to work while sick with covid? Make sure you march right up to HR and let them know. I’m sure they’ll give you an “award”

[@thatswhattheyis]

@@Phloptical My work makes employees get a doctor’s note if they call in sick more than 2 days in a row. I don’t do doctors so I came in sick rather than get the note. I always come to work while very sick with the flu or what-not. I am not getting the vaccine because if I can get it again I get 10 days off an others are trying to get it a second time to get two free weeks. Where is the best place to get some of that new Delta (Indian) variant? I just need a little fix for some time off.

[@Hahninator]

One of the best concerts I have ever been to. Dave in tears 2:33

[@fatfloridaguy1]

Great work capturing this man. The energy between the band and the audience to be standing there after the last year and a half is insane.

[@APPL3SL1CES]

Best night of my life

[@gazinbris]

I was watching Pat, thinking he looks like he’s really enjoying this, but it looked like Nate was really in his happy place too.

[@notreallyhome]

everyone was SO happy + have been to a lot of concerts at msg! pat's smile is the best!

[@kassandra5449]

Dave is a very beautyful guy. I love FOO FIGHTERS. This music is soooo good for pain. 🤗💓💓💓

He is having the time of his life here. So cool! These guys are among the best out there and really pour their hearts out when playing for the fans.

[@jackwinemiller8358]

[@noahwiseman849]

I was lucky enough to be at this concert. It was an experience I don't think I'll ever experience again. Starting the show off with "Times Like These" literally choked me up a bit. The next ~3 hours that followed were amazing. The crowd, the band, the workers at MSG were all on point Sunday night. God it's good to have music back again!!!

[@SlapNSniff]

i'v had this song stuck in my head for two weeks. i get on KZbin today and here is this video. so of course i'm rocking out to it. here's to another two weeks of singing it i guess

[@chadluckern1331]

Seen them a few times in the last 20 years the best live show an im jealous to whoever filmed this I mean to be there that show is like rare if you ask me but ya been a foo fighters fan since the 90s they are present but still themselves still this show reminds me why their my favorite band of all time

[@megsullivan6645]

Just think Dave has had all this energy building up and now its all coming out now!!

[@andyparkinson1460]

Watching this am so close to start balling my brains out! Just so so happy see the foo fighters jamming out to huge crowd just brings a huge smile to my face! Thank you foo fighters for making this so memorable

[@lorynashleigh6798]

I’ve seen some of the best rock shows the tri-state has seen in the past 15 years and this was - hands down - the BEST show I’ve ever been to. Also….am I the only one who actually got emotional during the first sung notes? My cheeks were burning.

[@gretaguarton473]

You were on good company - I was literally crying and looked around to see many others doing the same

There isn't much freedom in being forced to kneel to Big Pharma. No longer a Foo Fighters fan. Never thought I'd ever say that. Their new stuff isn't so good, so... Meh.

[@jeanninelewis4741]

The beautiful early collaboration got me through the first 8 months of the Pandemic. This LIVE version of Foos at MSG gave me so much hope. I cried. I am so happy to see them live on the screen here in SF, CA. Glorious. I can't wait for them to come to California, where they live

[@monumentsNmelodies]

Hell yea thanks for these, amazing quality. Also I love that you can see their Manager John Silva side stage by Pat, he's probably seen Foo's (Also Dave In Nirvana) play close to a thousand times Live, but this one was obviously a little more special.
