Alone + Easy Target - Foo Fighters @Edgefest 1998

[TheReaperToast]

0:26 missed again, Dave is not the easy target he's pretending to be ;)

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

@TheReaperToast :D

[rpcelectronics]

I want to thank you for posting this! I originally recorded this entire concert (along with Green Day) off of HBO onto VHS, yes VHS. Lost the tape and always regretted it. Been looking for it ever since, but found this video and not only is it part of the concert but it's my favorite Foo's song of all time. Thanks!

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

@rpcelectronics I have most of the foo songs from this gig uploaded, you should check them out! I'm pretty sure you could find the entire 98 edgefest on youtube if you look around ^ ^

[yasemeen]

3:53  best...

[dfbhcf]

3:26 using a Canadian beer as a slide

lol

[rpcelectronics]

This song defines the Foo Fighters, for me.

[ilsevdb]

" Alone + Easy Target (Nirvana sound check jam in Europe 91') "

I found that on the internet.. does this mean nirvana also played this song?

Does this mean that it's original from nirvana? o.o

[kerasungokong]

@ilsevdb show me

[ilsevdb]

@kerasungokong u want the link to the site?

[kerasungokong]

@ilsevdb many of nirvana's rarities that I've had, only that I have never heard, Hit Me for the link!

[EFRANEED]

@ilsevdb where did you find that? do you have the link?

[ilsevdb]

@EFRANEED check it out, it's a site with all songs nirvana ever played.

nirvanaclub. com/info/general/songs.txt

Alone + Easy Target, seems to be one of the many songs..

[RyanSTH94]

@ilsevdb It's just talking about Nirvana playing it as an instrumental, which is pointless! Just a soundcheck...

[pugghead]

Honestly who throws a shoe?

[Foo1232]

one of the best live performances of Foo Fighters

you got to love it

[TheElephant79]

What if the Shoe would have hit him ?

[FlamingMonkeyButt]

gotta love the burp at 4:52 XD

[Bagelbutcher]

People who throw bottles at somebody like Dave Grohl are certified faggots who are friendless and begging for attention.

[bassmanification5]

Simply Amazing!! I was in 8th grade down in the pit for Green Day and the Foo Fighters at this show...I almost DIED!

[SheepYears]

hard to believe this was 12 years ago. and that they had franz stahl playing with them!

[Rockyinlp]

I had never heard this song 'til watching this performance on HBO's "Reverb" Green Day played this show too and they came out and did a song with FF's

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

I hope you've heard the debut album at least! I wouldn't love the Foo Fighters otherwise.

[Rockyinlp]

@RockinRowdyRoberto have the debut album but at the time i primarily listened to this is a call, for all the cows and big me. kinda skipped over this song

[justcaz9971]

@Rockyinlp which song?

[Rockyinlp]

@justcaz9971 It was a long time ago I honestly do not remember

[GreendayBuddy]

@Rockyinlp oh that's nice! What did they play?

[MrSherwin88]

its an awesome song

[MrSherwin88]

Respond to this video...  this was cool but franz sucks man

[crustifer]

Chris looked bombed lmaoo

[speculative182]

Chris didn't play in the band at this time. The guitar player is Franz.

[ekirtsretnuoc]

it´s the same with dave and the papparazzii ... dave is joking around with them ... and then they go away themself

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

Not his concert. Plus Dave isn't Axl Rose.

[fmcnally]

fuckin right

[evanrkg]

no shit he isn't axl rose.... thank you for clearing that up.

[Rockdude147]

@RockinRowdyRoberto its funny cause Dave kicked someone out of his show at the itunes live show.

[CaptainRoflCopter]

dave is so cool wen people were throwing shoes at him unlike axl rose who ends the show like a pussy

[ascortjkk]

3:40 .. sweet child o mine? hahaha

[wazzumichael]

I was at this show.....fucking insane

[eurojammer47]

one of my favourite songs....in a grunge version

[blake12341lfc]

sounds like serve the servants by nirvana

[jaketheman091]

love the authentic grunge sound

[threshers1234]

Beer EBOW!

[smallclone]

ugh so glad Franz left

[syracuse9898]

[crustifer]

[mahoney696]

the Foo Fighters are still bad ass, but this is when they rocked my cock off!!!

[myrtia]

[qwerty6801]

Dave pulled a george bush at :20 lollll

[QymLym]

lol

[foxxwrok]

Love the leg action at 5.30! Nice rearrangment of my favourite from the Foo's first cd.

[jenfine]

That's one of my Foo drinking games... drink every time Dave does the hoe-down thing with his left leg... sort of like drink whenever Dave screams "WAALLLLLRIGHTTT!" or drink when Dave says "fuck".

[foofighterr1]

Vocals suck in this vid.

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

I found the part at 4:24 was pretty alright. I respect you for saying something negative about the Foo Fighters though. Some Foo fans are merciless...

[InNothing]

that was the iraqi reporter

[kdckan]

lol sweet child of mine

[yungdtownsolja2]

at 1:50 dave was so like WTF these people are fucking crazy!

[Dumpsterbaby1991]

I always thought Franz did the best backup vocals for the band. This video confirms it.

[eurojammer47]

Foo Fighters doesn't existing now. They are take a "break". RIP Music.

[kylelikesducks]

wat the fuck!!! u being serious!!!!

or trying to start an internet rumour????

[scautobahn]

Thanks, Foo Fighters- the only really good band, for coming to Edgefest.

I could post this comment on all of the videos, but won't.

Scott Gross

[scautobahn]

Oh, and they always have a good vibe at any concerts- live or on albums, because they're just good.

-peace, Scott

[scautobahn]

The Foo Fighters are the best band in history or existence because they have the range that no others have. They compose beautiful music that has such structure, but yet is heavily-laiden with truth and emotion, and just hard rocking, grungy but yet still pleasant, none of their songs are bad- unlike most other bands throughout ages.

Bless yoU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!

[KOTRA1307]

Dave totally should have rocked the hat and shades the whole time.

[Dreakz]

i would not consider those fuckheads who are throwing the shoes "fans"

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

Well atleast they give a good crowd response I guess. You're lucky if you find one mosh pit today haha.

[dazzerd]

there was a few in wembley , well they where like between a bunch of 14 yr olds

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

Well you can go see any rock band and there's always a few idiots (good idiots) moshing. :)

[yungdtownsolja2]

if they were at a qotsa show they wold have gotten embarrassed and got a black eye lol

[recordingsoftheflesh]

thanx a bunch for putting this online! when he dodges the shoe at the beginning and goes with the hand gesture ...man, that's friggin' priceless! 5/5 and faved!

[Keebrin]

That would of been so aggressive!

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

You don't have to worry about crowds like that at Foo shows today... Unfortunately =).

[QymLym]

i love there first album. the raw edgy recordings and punching bass lines. all there new stuff is so studio tight it feels it lacks the true passion of music, this fact is offen over shadowed with dave's great voice.

[BreakingGlass77]

I miss old Foo Fighters. I doubt all of their "fans" now even have their first record.

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

I'm pretty sure a lot of the people at the concerts now just heard Times Like These on the radio or something. The concert I went to this year had a lot of 'different' fans compared to 2002.

[yoyoyospaghettio]

the first record sounds so much different than the crap they put out now..

[mattylaw192]

if you actually appreciated music, you'd know it wasn't crap.

[yoyoyospaghettio]

dang man yall chill i meant i like this stuff way more than what the put out now, like that crazy jam in the middle of the song, they dont do anything like that in their stuff now. thats all im saying damn

[mo28mabini]

i agree.. they actually have a routine now. this is the craziest version of this song i've heard, it's not perfect and rehearsed but i love it.

[DesecrationSmile2012]

haha dave went a little matrix at the beginning there

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

haha, I'm sure he's gotten pretty good at dodging flying crap.

[DesecrationSmile2012]

haha yeah especially by now. i mean, hes gotten shoes, panties, bottles, and not to mention the mentoes.

[pissholiday]

cool band., if that was axl rose band the show is f*ckin over.

[elitesteve07]

the middle kinda sounds like sweet child o mine

[RockinRowdyRoberto]

It was haha

[elitesteve07]

yeah there a class band ????

[XFoofighterX]

I love Nate's bass... Ampeg.
