for those commenting on how it sounded it might be the radio1/youtube effect on the recording as when i heard it on the tv after the gig it was (obviously) nowhere near as good as being there. it was also the first track they did of the evening gig and it only got better from here on in!
its a shame they didnt show all the tracks they did as enough space was awesome
I think they need to up Taylor's mike for the chorus if he's doing the screaming. Dont get me wrong I love Dave's voice, but the whole point of the chorus in this song is the ferocity!
Its rare to see a band that can actually perform as good live as they do in there studio performances. Foo Fighters are absolutely great live, that being said "The Pretender" is a song that is not so easily played live, listen to some other live performances by the Foo Fighters and you will see that they do a lot better on songs that they have had time to practice and learn flawlessly.
whoah in this vid you can barely hear the rest of the band. in concert ( i saw them not even 3 weeks ago so id know) the band is just about as loud as daves voice
fuckin hell the concorde is like one of the smallest venues i brighton ive been there about 20 times for really small bands and foo fighters i mean hyde park to the concorde its realy weired
Yeah.. The lead singer sings in a much lower tone during the chorus.. And the drummer sings it in a higher one.. I admire him for playing drums and singing at the same time =o..
the only thing the Foo Fighters could improve this performance with would be making Taylor's mic louder!! other than that, another awesome FF performance!!! cant wait until the 25th!
Cuando alguien escucha algo así lo único que puede hacer es mirar la pantalla y no poder apartar la mirada de esta. Foo Fighters es fuerza, es pasión... Este grupo me hace pensar que al fin y al cabo la música te puede evadir de este asqueroso mundo. Foo Fighters 4 ever!!
