[JayAyArrr]

9 people, didn't know the words to sing along with.

[timewasta12]

I'm still baffled as to why this video is unlisted. The fuck lolla?

[QueenForADay94]

They are Heroes.

[Infurnas]

Why cant this video be found by searching i had to go through an hour of my history to view this?

[deppressedmuuuslimps]

@Infurnas Favorite it so you don't have to do that! Lol

[Infurnas]

@deppressedmuuuslimps I've learnt from my mistake

[LucaSRockPy]

envidiable!!!

[Incon7]

Seeing Foo Fighters at Blizzcon was pretty boss. Not my favorite band, but they put on a damn good live performance and get the crowd involved.

[yumcaqs]

I love how happy the drummer looks.

[chall77]

@yumcaqs that is great. the thing is, that's only like 1% happier than Taylor looks most of the time at a live show.

[mmblub]

best day of my life

[MydirtyRat1]

wouldn't they run the risk of being electrocuted by the guitars and mics??

[ZMatrix]

It's funny, I started talking to some guy next to me before the Arctic Monkeys set and we were talking about a "dream" Foo Fighters show based off all of the videos from the European festivals where it's raining and they're still playing and everyone is still having a blast because it's a fucking Foo Fighters show!

Well our dream definitely came true that night.

I watch this video religiously. Never going to forget this night.

[triciopa1]

EPIC RAIN

[SwedizhAngel20]

I jus thave to get the Back and forth DVD <333

[CER34L]

If I could choose where I would die, I would die happy at Foo Fighters concert! Not to scare people, but just because they are so awesome and it would make the end of my life perfect.

How I wish I could have been there, heck I wish I could go to all their concerts! I'm just happy / lucky I had the chance to see them live @ Pinkpop 2011 this year. It was raining and it even had a f*cking rainbow!

[brumbot]

I would give anything to be back there right now.

[MissLoutwenty2]

My mind was blown that night. Completely covered in mud and soaking wet, best time EVER!!!! Dave grohl is a machine. It was one of those shows you tell your grandkids about. The people who were there will remember it for the rest of their lives. It was beyond epic. Love foo fighters!!!!!!!!!

[coalcmbr3748]

my phone still has severe water damage from this. however, best night of my life

[asdfsam]

I scrolled down my friends facebook profile for an hour because this video is unlisted....why? Bec it is too epic most the publics eyes

[egw1914]

@Deworke212 google lol

[cokechacon]

Why this video is no longer available for anyone?.. Don’t let FF fans without the most amazing live performance ever!

[arstyle27]

Downtown Chicago with thousands upon thousands of people packed into Grant Park in a fucking downpour enjoying one of the greatest bands not miss a step. Bloody epic......

[offtopic48]

anytime I hear those first chords I get the chills, it was the best performance I have ever seen.

[GazeboLlama]

most amazing night of my life...

[KurnalSanderz33]

Being here during the downpour listening to this song left my body tingling. absolutely amazing performance!

[sassysweets323]

WOW!!!!!! I would of love to been there.

[susanq17]

What a f'n fantastic nite and performance! I was sooo excited watching it streamed live that nite! I'm from Chicago living in L.A. and I sooooooo wished I was there!! I am heading out tonite to see them at The L.A. Forum and can't wait to get my assd kicked by these fine ROCKERS/Musicians!~ Soooooo excited!! Yay!!

[egw1914]

@Deworke212 i loled at that xD

[ItsMeFrankieB]

Best night ever.

[ArmstrongsRockBand]

in colombia ... Something

[MadFXbrothers]

Aaand why didn't they play at Pukkelpop?

[jonesybum]

Singing My Hero in the torrential rain with Dave Grohl is the highlight of my life to date.

[pedestrianharmright]

about 21 years ago, Dave Grohl went to his first Lollapalooza with Kurt Cobain. Now look at him go. Amazing.

[antocf100]

epicness! <3

[InuvikPhil]

Is there a risk of being electrocuted when you play an electric guitar while soaking wet? Just asking

[seniorfloyd]

@InuvikPhil A LOT xD

[Alkosept]

@InuvikPhil Not really, although the guitar may start malfunctioning. It's far more dangerous when your amplifier gets wet. Amazing show, btw.

[CookieMoster32]

This is one of those videos that looks like it should have 100,000,000 views because it's that awesome :) But only the best have lower then 10,000,000!

[JordanDevlin]

Who brings a beach ball to a tsunami?

[guitarshreder43]

Starts pissing down with rain during my hero Brilliant

[jasmineanaya86]

It was epicness! I loved this moment in my life!!!

[iselalotahemp]

Wow Dave Grohl looks extra beefed up in this video, lol

[robin5354]

I was there...that was some cold ass rain! Dave and Co. didn't care...they were giving us a ROCK CONCERT!!!

[dubbly1]

Didn't the rain wreck their guitars and equipment???

[spinguy429]

my favorite words from dave was right after this song

"i don't give a fuck if it's raining"

[MaroonPowerRanger]

I lie, you can

[MaroonPowerRanger]

Cant hear daves guitar damit

[DillingerEscapeMan]

4:00 is too much of an emotional moment

[TheJeanbook]

awesomo

[gifts4freebies]

lol at Pat's face at 0:22



[BobShanky]

3:52 god that still gives me chills. I'll never forget that night, thank you Foo Fighters for an unbelievable experience.

[lumalav666]

I'm right there! at 2:20, the Venezuelan flag!!! (Yes, it is)

[celiamayoralc]

[RenatoQuatrin]

[LofMalfoy]

QUIERO QE VENGAN A LA ARGENTINA CARAJOOOOOOOO!!! solo tengo qe esperar un par de mesess!

[KidLaz0r]

one of the best nights of my short life

[nakednotfamous]

My feet were ankle deep in mud for the entire performance... my phone broke... my cigarettes were drenched and soggy...

But who gave a fuck? I didn't. It was the best night of my life.

[Patzeppelin69]

That right there is a perfect example of the power of music. Not one person left, I would know cause I was fuckin there. I'll never forget it.

[bonez511]

This entire Foo Fighters set needs to be released on Blu-Ray!

[mmblub]

@bonez511 if I could get a dvd of this, it would make my life

[connecticut36]

that is some dedication to play in that pooring rain. a little to late to put tarps on the speakers you think?

[cheseecake]

so that anoying sound between the foo fighters songs was deadmau5

[erojas21390]

epic..

[brumbot]

I wouldn't have had this any other way. :) I remember just looking up at the raining ponding down thinking " I can't not believe this is real, lifes pretty damn good."

[filmer56789]

Greatest show of my life, what a great song to rock out to in the pouring rain! there wasnt one person in that crowd complaining! everyone was into it!

[whatwouldgrohldo]

you know, with a little pratice i think these foo fighter guys may be pretty good one day;)

[whatwouldgrohldo]

7 people are not my heros

[ZMatrix]

the extended interlude starting at 2:08 is just the best fucking thing I've ever heard in my entire life

[saintidiot]

how did they not get electrocuted from the guitars?

[egw1914]

@saintidiot the are FOO FIGHTERS :P

[RythmandStrings]

As they say in the SEALS...it's just water

[drummedout886]

i was at this concert. words cant explain the feeling i had when they played this and the rain started pouring down. it was unbelievable

[spqrmikerw]

my hero in the fucking rain. my god thats epic

[stalls17]

this is fucking amazing!

[bishopbyers]

Fucking awesome!!

[Nickpatient]

Haha this is awesome, rain fucked up the drum tone though. Taylor is the shit non the less.

[Ramul]

If you got some time to kill please check out my drum covers I did of Foo Fighters. You can hear the music and it's all HD :) and if you like it, please please subscribe even if you don't play drums hehe. It will make me so happy!

[crystalmonday80]

I got the flu after this performance, but i would definately get sick again just to re-live it.

[ctgrl02]

This was one of the most memorable weekends of my life! The rain pouring down could not stop the energy and love for the Foo's coming from the crowd!!! Dave rocked like no other and lived up to everything I thought it would be. A record breaking 270, 000 people that weekend it was EPIC! I'll never forget....

[121126]

the show goes on, has never been so true

[lumalav666]

I went to a target for a pair of 40$ converse after this concert. My shoes were gone after this show. Best of my life

[deejaycinnamon]

@lumalav666 I am VERY jealous! Love them, huge Dave fan!

[lumalav666]

I was at first row :D fucking awesomeeeeeeeee

[loveislovepeaceis]

Ahhhh I wish I could have gone -_-

[harrism84]

"Sing loud as shit!" 1:43

[liavv6]

WTF?!

only foo fighters can play in the rain!

[Disposable5]

@liavv6 all bands do it dude

[lumalav666]

@Disposable5 Ohh please I would love to hear that, name a few please. Actually The Arctic Monkeys did not want to play until the rain was over.

[Disposable5]

@lumalav666 do some research and you'll find out

[RyonI21]

crafty1982 showsomeskin88

musical talent or not, without cobain we proberely wouldn't know who dave grohl is.

so give a little respect to one of the fathers of grunge and post-grunge.

:)

[jugdaddy69]

Dave is awesome but no need to diss Kurt you sissy bitches. Without Nirvana there wouldn't be a lot of bands including foo fighter so STFU.

[Potjack123456]

696969696969696

[showsomeskin88]

Wow, Dave Grohl has more musical talent in his left nut that that pussy Kurt Cobain had in his entire body

[GarbagePicker9217]

i cant believe i missed this fucking concert. I only live an hour away!

[Transfixion]

check out my guitar for my hero

youtube.com/watch?v=Bhs1e_vKsk­E

[xSceneHeistx]

3:49

Simply amazing.

[AnnihilateTh1s]

Can't be safe to play in the rain... Refreshing though.

[dqhaji302]

The only negative part of seeing this concert is it ruins every performance i will see in the future because im only 16 and no other concert could ever compare to this one.

[AnnihilateTh1s]

@dqhaji302 Metallica or Rob Zombie will give you a kick in the ass.

:3 This is a spectacular concert though.

[NearLuvsToys]

@dqhaji302 I agree, it's hard to top a Foo Fighters performance. But there are a ton of other bands who can give great live performances in this day and age.

[PbVeritas]

@dqhaji302 I know what you mean... Happened to me as well...

[PbVeritas]

@dqhaji302 I know what you mean... Happened to me as well...

[JLJurich1990]

@dqhaji302 I said the exact same thing. Live music will never be the same because this show was just TOO good.

[sergioj17]

@dqhaji302 It was good but not the best of the tour. The best of the tour it was on Itunes Festival. Very very good!

[UNSC14]

Dave, you've done and accomplished SOOO much during your career as a wonderful musician, you have every right to be the happiest man in the world because you've earned it by overcoming crucial times of sadness and despair. You've matured so much over the years and given so much to the world, that i feel it is only my duty to give back a little by saying thank you Dave Grohl for helping keep mine and other peoples faith in Rock n Roll

[UNSC14]

why does a dislike button even exist on this video?

[jaymz714]

hands down... best part starts at 3:50

[DougScalioni]

I wish i was there.

[Towdart]

They're all so happy!

[RebelThoughts]

Hurricane Irene fears Dave Grohl!

[3pmipod]

YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAHH I LIKE THIS VIDEO : D 

[rmadera629]

this was the most AMAZING experience ever. having yourself, your friend, and a thousand other Chicagoans singing the same song in the pouring rain pointing at our hero, Dave Grohl as we sang "There goes my hero!". nothing will top this for a long time.

[supercrazyguitarman0]

I remember when Zeppelin left a huge crowd in the rain when it started pouring. Grohl will have none of that nonsense. Foo Fighters forever.

[rielgui]

Just like the fucking post office, Foo Fighters are there no matter the weather!

[guitar77432]

chanting this while it was pooring was so fucking memorable...

[n20011892]

I love it when it absolutly chucks it down at the beginging they all look up and start grinning and for the rest of the gig have massive smiles on their faces.

Looked like they all had fun.

[Mx4lifex244]

i drove from oklahoma to come to lolla i loved it ill deff be back next year!!

[MarcusFenix31596]

Dave Grohl could play through a fucking hurricane.

[kaskas55]

Raining! Poor guitars!!! GREAT PERFORMANCE! \m/

[jm49769]

Best rock band ever!!!

[mgnewage479]

@emaleeskfzj what the hell?

[dqhaji302]

I kinda feel bad for my friends who went to see kid cudi play his monotone souless music at perry's while i was having the time of my life over at music unlimited rocking to the foo fighters. Bad choice guys.

[mrneilinder]

it's raining

[SRcRasher]

Holy shit, looks like The Pretender´s video, epic!

[mhjets]

The 6 people that disliked this video must have left to go see Deadmau instead

[Oktoberluv]

@mhjets and had a miserable time, i bet.

[XxReflexNinja69]

@mhjets *Deadmau5

[mattmann35]

@mhjets deadmau5 is fucking amazing

[MadFXbrothers]

@mhjets I Know Deadmau5 because of the Foo Fighters, isn't that ironic?

[kaosmetal13]

Dave Grohl, My Hero

[karakenio]

@lollapalooza fix the volume please... LOUDER

[antonia37]

has he been for a swim first??



[FPSRosaParks]

PERFECT WAY TO END A PERFECT LOLLAPALOOZA!!!!!

[BlueYoshiGamer]

Simply amazing

[wambanks]

No the rain was part of their stage show!

[IAMNTHOMAS]

I wasn't a big Foo Fighters fan until I was at this show. Now I'm obsessed. I'll be seeing them live again in the near future.

[BaconDawgBD]

Dave Grohl reminds me of the young James Hetfield :P

[MichaelProductionsx]

Was It Really Raining

[lolomalol]

i was ready to go watch them @ pukkelpop ;'(

[MrMartinoo1]

@lolomalol me too...

[insomniacPT]

2:10 Dave is GOD.

[mobo241]

Anything does not prevent to Dave to continue, let alone a fucking rain ... I love him

[wesley]

We had a hurricane @pukkelpop but we missed Dave... :( Hope you guys are coming back to Belgium next year...

[jsnfunkebrickman]

100,163 people should thank Al Gore for inventing the internet so we can bask in it again and again

[TheHeluxify]

Pussies cancel to rain. Dave says "fuck it, lets rock"

[ZMatrix]

I make sure to watch and relive this moment every day. 

[TheFlyinlewjr]

Dave Grohl is MY hero, he's not ordinary...he's EXTRAORDINARY!!

[gamemasterzoomzoomom]

I wanted to see this concert... I;m going to regret this for a while. Curse you outrages ticket prices!

[EssDevs]

Taylor is such a shredder in the drums

[synesthesia67]

[Mawel80]

[lickapotato]

[Towdart]

I was in the front! What an experience!

[neomanianj]

I love how Pat is always SO amused.... like everytime : ID

[nopp1]

@neomanianj haha in Nirvana he was too!

[neomanianj]

@nopp1 i dont know if you have, but have you seen the the interview of nirvana... i rhink its 12/10/93 with (pat in the band) and kurt is like, " i look over and i see pat's smiling face and it just gives me a little bit of hope... makes me feel good." haha

[nopp1]

@neomanianj haha if you saw Live and Loud you see Dave, Kris, Kurt headbangin and you see Pat just smiling haha

[neomanianj]

@nopp1 i did, i did... what a great show and of course pat smiling like an idiot, i wonder what hes thinking to make him smile so much... it's gotta be something like really good.

[nopp1]

@neomanianj id be smiling too if i could play with Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain hahah

[BulletFrenzy543]

FUCK THE RAIN THE FOO FIGHTERS CAN PLAY THROUGH ANYTHING!!!

[offtopic48]
