This one’s dedicated to the dearly missed Taylor Hawkins, and before Dave begins to play that iconic opening guitar melody, he pauses for a moment sentimentally, and points to the sky. …As always, Everlong is played last, as a way to say goodbye, but the band make us swear to come out and see them when they come back for a summer tour.
They swing into No Son Of Mine, which sees Dave and guitarist Chris Shiflett trading licks before they play a quickfire medley of rock greats (the intro from Metallica’s Enter Sandman into Black Sabbath’s Paranoid), cramming in as much as they can into their shorter set time.
Opening with All My Life, the Foo Fighters – oops, sorry, The Churnups – are dripping with sweat already, with new drummer Josh Freese showing no mercy for his kit. He’s smirking and chewing gum, while the rest of band looks practically nonchalant, as if they haven’t been making us wonder for weeks on end if they’d really be here… Dave Grohl thunders out onto the stage to the roars of a jam-packed crowd at the Pyramid Stage.
