“Breathe out so I can breathe you in.” One of the best lines the man has ever written. The studio version of this song is much faster but this performance was special.

[@richardyoung3462]

The solo version he does on an acoustic guitar and explains the backstory of the song is quite special.

[@Asherek]

The studio version is faster in the first part, but when Dave joins the band at the end of this live performance, it's a lot faster than the studio recording.

"You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they'll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons." -Dave Grohl It's still haunting to me that Dave Grohl recorded the first Foo Fighters album virtually alone, in the same studio Nirvana recorded their last song...carrying the torch...Everlong. RIP Kurt Cobain and Taylor Hawkins.

[@leehickmott9783]

Dave is awesome, seems like a down to earth guy who could care less about the fame and BS.

[@markvanderstelt8999]

i do it all the time.

[@Vegaroth]

This presentation was a gift for everyone who knows the original song. You can see that at all times the whole audience is just waiting for the song to "start". There is tension, and there is awe. Usually singers will start a song like that, and then after a verse or two, will fall into the original song. Dave had the insight of teasing everyone during the whole song, and just "release it" at the end, for the finishing chorus. It does not have the same impact for a first time listener of the song, the hook is different (it can still be a strong hook, but different nonetheless). One thing you can say about Dave; his main goal on the stage is to have fun. He knows that if he's having fun, everybody is having fun. Great rendition of his own song.

[@mrtveye6682]

True. As great as the performance is on it own, I think it's more special if you know the regular/full band version.

[@jesuschrist-alphaomega]

Great insights. I too was thinking he was just edging them the whole time.

[@steveszanto1581]

very well said.

[@stefanconradsson]

My first time hearing it was the last show by Dave Letterman … I was totally hooked by the end of it. It apparently meant a lot to Letterman (the heart surgery thing and all). And I can understand why. In some way, to me at least, that version is the definitive one … with the collage video from all Letterman shows and all. Great song. Cheers 🍺

[@DJFalkoHannover]

Legends say, Dave Grohl is chewing the same gum since 1991 :)

[@Chr1sWaterous]

Please do check out the studio version of this, it is very different.

[@davidward2651]

Agreed, or a more conventional live version. It might be their best song and this is very much a different arrangement. Very cool, but probably hard to fully appreciate if you aren't familiar with the song first.

[@davidward2651]

I should note that my favorite live version of this is actually the one they played for David Letterman's last show.

[@buzzbomb67]

That last bit is the way the original studio version sounds. Either way, its an extraordinary song, and definitely one of, if not THE best song they ever did.

[@evenbetterthantherealthing92]

I much prefer full throttle versions of the song in the vein of the studio (with none of the lower octave choruses we see in some live versions), to the slowed down variants. The energy is completely lost for me.

[@davidward2651]

@@evenbetterthantherealthing92 Same. It's the same objection I have to people reacting to the various MTV Unplugged performances. They're cool, but they don't accurately represent the energy of the bands.

[@rcoveyduc]

If he wasn't a legend before, the night he fell off a stage in Sweden, told the crowd not to leave and he'd be back, went to the hospital, got the brake set and casted, and came back and finished the show from a chair cemented it.

[@Vegaroth]

he didn't go to the hospital, he asked a doctor to hold his leg for the rest of the show. He played sitting down, with the doctor just grabbing his leg. He went to the hospital after the show. The dude is a monster. You can search for "Dave reunion with doctor" and you see the interview where he explains the whole thing. Amazing times.

[@mjcasias]

I saw him on the broken leg tour! He had an awesome throne lol

[@72carguy]

I really enjoy your reactions. Dave Grohl is a national treasure. A talented musician with an incredible career…and awesome stories to go with it. Having to deal with not 1, but 2 intense band tragedies and survive in the music business. I’ve listened to his audio book several times! A father of 3 girls (each of whom you can tell he adores although I’m sure they don’t appreciate his coolness) and still tours with his mom. He is also quite charitable, often cooking in public (BBQ) and giving food away. A true music ambassador and all-around great person.. Times Like These (a few, good emotional, live versions around), The Pretender, Monkey wrench, Learn To Fly, etc… He also does a mean Baker Street cover!

[@jaynault]

His Mom passed away a few weeks after Taylor did :(

[@doctor8342]

4:08 That's Dave's thing. Just straight good rock and roll, no special effects, no messing with anything, he's not concerned about perfection as he believes rock should be imperfect, he even records/makes everything on an old analog music board from the 70's. He's just all about pure rock and roll. As a side note the first Foo Fighters album there was no band, Dave recorded the vocals and played all the instruments himself and recorded them separately and mixed them together. Not many have done this and it was a huge album he put together the band afterwards, I know Prince did this as well and Prince loved the Foo Fighters and one of Dave's life highlights he said was when Prince called him and asked if he could play a Foo Fighters song during Princes Super Bowl half time show. Prince also allowed Foo Fighters to cover his song Darling Nikki which is rare for Prince to allow anyone to cover his songs.

[@chadwhitfield6946]

I love their Darling Nikki cover. Part of the reason Dave isn't the greatest live singer is all the energy he uses while playing. All that jumping while singing makes it kinda hard.

[@garrettyates647]

Not trying to be pedantic, just historically correct. The band recorded the first album. Dave didn't like the product so he re-did it all himself.

[@philmcinally1248]

For those who haven't experienced a Foo Fighters show in person, please do! You will never regret it! Dave is a fan of music first and going to gigs growing up was meant to be enjoyed for the band and audiences as one. He still brings the same youthful energy to everything he does. There is a reason he is known among his peers as one of the nicest people in the industry.

[@timtam79]

Times Like These is my favorite Foo Fighters' song. The acoustic version is spectacular.

[@lobezno223]

[@geoffb64]

Dave "honours" his audience. He understands the meaning these songs have to each member of that crowd. That is what is so special about the Foo Fighters.The vibe at those concerts is like you have a friend playing a local gig and you can't imagine not going and supporting them. Never felt anything like it outside of actual local punk and metal bands. Its like everyone knows them...

[@sethangel4334]

For sure. You can tell that if he wasn't the front man of the band on stage, he'd be in the crowd screaming himself hoarse. He's such a fan and it influences how he performs his shows.

[@DixonsCider]

growing up without giant piles of money also made up very thankful and appreciative that his audience fronts up the hundreds of dosh for tickets to see Him and the fellers do what they love. he understands people sacrifice to see his act.

[@WhoKnowsWhereWhenHow]

You’re 100% right. Never been to a show like foo fighters. 3-4 hours of hit after hit, and it all is there for you, the audience. Hope to see them again some day.

[@LordRahl1975]

Saw them live last month and they were amazing. Your next foo song should be The Pretender or Monkey Wrench.

Especially if you watch some of the ones where he brings audience members up to play with them. He does that ALOT.

[@madmex2k]

I never want it to end either! Fortunate enough to see Foo Fighters twice, and I really had a blast! I knew every song they sang, and they also did a lot of covers, which were also great. At the end the audience kept cheering, trying to get the band to return for aother encore, for well over 30 minutes. I listened to all my Foo Fighters music for weeks before coming off that high, that rush, the feeling of emotion they carried the entire audience through. I've been going to concerts since I was 13, and I am now 60. I used to work as a local stagehand for major tours, also concert security, as well as just working for local bands early on in life. Easily top 3 of any concert I have ever seen. Dave Grohl is so great, talented, gets involved with so many other artists and bands, too many to list. Never a dull moment. Its like they set out to make each show the best show you will ever see, and make it so much better than the last. Dave Grohl once accidently fell off stage, broke his leg, and got the crew to get him setup to finish playing a concert in Gottenburg, Sweden. Sheer will power to overcome the pain he must have been going through. He went back after he recovered and did another show for them.

[@mattrotton]

The best thing about seeing the Foo's live is each show is different. Each song is different from the studio. Dave wants everyone involved and feeling like they are part of the band. Always a crazy experience to see them live. You'll laugh almost as much as you sing along. However, it doesn't always make the best reaction because you really don't know what the original sounds like. But this was great. I love the way you understood what the Foo's are all about. Playing live and giving their fans a good show.

[@thelatentobserver121]

The best thing about Dave: He is truly just a normal dude, super famous, pretty much universally liked, a family man first, rocks on vocals, guitar, drums (good god), just a normal dude. Was at the OC Fair back in 05 or 06, I'm old so I can't remember exactly. In line to buy a corn on the cob, and I turn around to look at how long the line is. Well hello Mr. Dave f'ing Grohl is right behind me. I did the whole "Big fan" "blah blah blah" thing and he asked me if I had ever been to a show. I told him of course I had. I've seen the Foo in small joints, medium joints, stadiums. He asked me what was my favorite, I told him the medium joints/arenas. He asked why and I told him that the medium joints/arena are big enough to create a shared joy in the music, but not drown it out. He said "Interesting". Then he asked if I wanted a selfie with him. I told him I left my phone in the car (which I do often) and said it's okay, I don't need a selfie, I have in my possession the greatest camera ever made, my brain, my eyes, my ears.

[@shawnhegarty4998]

I would love to see you react to something else from Foo Fighters, maybe The Pretender? That shows his range pretty well.

[@mraustinworking]

This version of Everlong is special to Foo Fighters fans who are already intimately familiar with the album version. I think it may not be the best intro to Foo Fighters/Dave Grohl, really.

[@carlocontini217]

Dave Grohl is an incredible human being. Besides Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, he has been in a couple of other bands, and played drums on a ton of other peoples music. I see lots of good recommendations here already, but I will second The Pretender, as well as My Hero at the Taylor Hawkins Tribute. Taylor was the drummer for Foo Fighters until he passed away in 2022. This show was a tribute to him, and his son Shane played drums on My Hero. It's a must see.

[@calebwilliams7659]

His tempo, vocalization & instrumentation on this version is so all over the place (I think because he knows how involved the crowd wants to be with his signature song), that I think this might be a tougher version to analyze than others out there. The hardcore album rock version is good, but for my money the acoustic-only rendition he famously did on the Howard Stern radio show is truly mind-blowingly inspired. It was the very first time he ever tried playing it acoustically.

[@TheNotedHero]

You NEED to react to their song "The Pretender". The music video. He literally blew out his voice singing it and that's the take they kept. It's amazing!

[@kloe8642]

This show meant everything to him, he wrote about it in his book saying it was all he could think about for the six months leading up to it. Dave does have impressive vocals to offer, you'd probably find interest in songs like Best of You, Breakout, or Monkey Wrench. Later on I would try something on the acoustic side of In Your Honor, like On The Mend (specifically live in Hollywood 2006).

Not sure how long this Wembley show was, but usually The Foo Fighters play for 2.5-3 hours, and this is one of the more gentle tracks to close the gig .. so his already imperfect (by the way, I love the Foo's and Dave Grohl) singing voice has taken a hammering by this time

You've gotta give Queens of the Stone Age a try - "I Appear Missing" would be a great start! Dave Grohl has called them "the best band in the business." He and Joshua Homme (Queens founder/vocalist/multi instrumentalist) are dear friends, and Dave has contributed to many albums and toured with them as their drummer.
