Foo Fighters
Allstate Arena - 10-3-05
Review by Dan Doerr
The Foo Fighters came out smokin' on
Monday night at the Allstate Arena.
he anthem from the new double CD "In
your Honor" started off the set and the crowd was ready. With fists
pumping the anxious fans welcomed the Foo Fighters with eager
excitement. Frontman Dave Grohl led the band tirelessly through a mix of
some of the new tunes - "Best of You, DOA, End over End and Cold Day in
the Sun" and a selection of classics - "All my Life, Learn to Fly, My
Hero, Times like These, Breakout, Stacked Actors" and others. At one
break Dave reflected back to seeing his first punk rock show at the
Cubby Bear and how it inspired him to continue with his personal musical
aspirations. The Foo Fighters kept an energetic pace and finished the
evening with encore "Monkeywrench."
After 10 years together, the Foo Fighters are not showing any signs of
slowing down. The 2-disc CD "In Your Honor" features disc one with the
hard edged, kick butt rock tunes and disc two going into the acoustic
and softer side of the band. The creativity and desire of the Foo
Fighters is still plentiful and this live tour proves that the Foo
Fighters will remain on the difficult legendary path toward greatness.
