I was at Taylor Hawkins last concert - a Foo Fighters review
Did i ever tell you I was at Taylor Hawkin’s last show? Well, his last US show. It was about 3 weeks before his overdose. We went to see the Foos at Innings Festival in Phoenix (Feb 26, 2022). Well, we went to see a bunch of bands… but the primary draws were Caamp, the Foos, and Billy Strings. I thought the Foos were just ok, which is weird. I bet every single other person there thought it was the greatest show of their lives. And it was very much meant to be. They played perfect, and all the hits were there. And you will NEVER say the band phoned it in. Dave Grohl has never phoned in anything in his life. That dude is so present he’s a fucking Buddha. I thought this just might be interesting to tell you about this show for two reasons: Why I was disappointed by a perfect and amazing concert I had been waiting decades to see… and 2) what was Taylor Hawkins final US show like? Well, the stories are actually kinda linked. The reason I didn’t love the show is it was too bom
