Foo Fighters live Bizarre 1997 - Alone + Easy Target

[jddenham]

Hawkins loves it !!

[RedTheColor]

Amazing song, wish they still played it :(

[leviathon18]

i love pat smear so glad he's back in the fold

[valeo1993]

@PeaceBringerDude ikr dude,hey is it s F-200p of a F-20t i can't tell

[Bagelbutcher]

check out the self-proclaimed pussies standing outside the crowd, discussing their vegan diets while the performance is going on. Who are they waiting for? Jewel?

[pugghead]

@Bagelbutcher rofl

[Dolphinboy30]

Dave Grohl is one of the best drummers in the history of rock music: First It Giveth, erm School, live in Amsterdam etc.....His albums called The Colour and the Shape and the eponymous one were awesome. I don't want ro offend the diehard fans but the guy is wank live. Passion, yes, energy, yes, but Kurt Cobain had more ability in his live performances within his little finger....cue flaming you cnuts

[groovey65]

@Dolphinboy30 he really isn't one of the best drummers in the history of rock where the fuck did you get that from!??

[VAANET]

The crowd is so dead.But little did anyone know they would become one of the biggest rockbands todays

[Dolphinboy30]

Dave Grohl can't sing live and obviously relies heavily on studio trickery to flesh out his vocals on Foo albums. Saying that I did think the first and second albums were cool listens. Man, he just killed my favourite Foo song with this arse live performance. I wouldn't pay any more than a quid to see this charlatan live.

[kevthedrummer]

@Dolphinboy30 hmm, he can sing really well live sometimes, but he wrecks his voice by screaming a lot in gigs. But with Dave it's all about the passion and energy on stage which is really quite a spectacle.

[caddielook]

@Dolphinboy30 When you say studio trickery, you forget there were no pro tools when the 1st, 2nd and 3rd record were made, it's all recorded on tape. You also forget that screaming your ass off every 2 nights is pretty big deal to someone's voice + he's not a diva, he's jumping and headbanging, he just needs to rock. Even though he's voice fails, he doesn't go out of tune. Over the years he's vocals got a lot better live.

[DieHardGardenFan]

Pat Smear is gay in the coolest way possible.

[pugghead]

@DieHardGardenFan hes actually straight

[SheepYears]

was and always will be my favorite ff song!

[MacKay1812]

1995 to 1998 really was the golden age of Foo Fighters.

[nikolak29]

PAT FUCKING SMEAR!

[Joah1991]

LOL at Pat's solo! This show is amazing.

[villah]

old foo 4 lyfe

[rlhunterfunny]

nice ff

[hammersdontthink]

Whats up with Pat Smear. He seems pretty cool, but he has always seemed a little... off, you know?

[carliraticida4]

a little fucking stoned duuuuudee

[AJBoutilier]

what type of les paul does dave have cuz i want!

[foofightersfin]

I agree with StratoCatser

[StratoCatser]

Best 1st album song.

[recordingsoftheflesh]

he almost always relies on Hagstroms!

[kylelikesducks]

i heard that when pat was in the germs he didnt have a touring guitar and would ask the supporting band if he could use theres!

every gig!

[Idium86]

is it me or do they seem a little high?

[KurtDonaldCobain1994]

Dave said Kurt really liked these songs, it's pretty crazy eh? These two COULD HAVE been Nirvana songs.

[sharty5000]

its only one song

[KurtDonaldCobain1994]

I think I had two browsers up with two different songs. Thats probably why I said 2. Some of their songs were written in Nirvana era so yeah.

[sharty5000]

ooo ok jw

[kylelikesducks]

apparently exhausted was one kurt liked but wanted to change the lyrics.

just imagine an album with this exhausted and you know ur right...

wud have been the best album ever

[GP1138]

My favorite song from the first album. Awesome.

[nirvanagurung]

i like taylor intro in the drums..see the amount of force he uses while hitting it

[unemployable18]

i'm sure those jerks that didnt pay attention are regreting today

[Gibberish1983]

Yeah! bunch of idiots! whos going to talk to his friends and ignore such a GREAT band and performance in the meantime..losers.

[Nirvagust]

Gibson Les Paul.

[wannabedavegrohl]

best live version of alone and easy target!

[kurt5000yh]

Pat smear looks really bored!!!

haha

[Nirvagust]

hahaha yeah!

[ryanmichael95]

Dave rockin' the Paul....nothing better.

[musicphan1]

At both shows I've been to, one around June 1996 in Atlanta and the other about April 20, 2000 in Chattanooga, this song was played. Both versions rocked hard. I missed that dog and The Amps at the first show, and I was fifteen minutes late as they were starting "Weenie Beanie". At the second show, they opened up for The Red Hot Chili Peppers and I was also fifteen minutes late, in fact as soon as I walked into the audience, the opening chords for "Stacked Actors" began.

[funkymonk09]

wait, you saw the foos and the chili peppers in the same show? luckyyy! they are my 2 favorite bands.

[speedstrx7]

DUDE!!! I think I was there at that Chattanooga show. UTC arena...Foos opened for Chili Peppers. Dave ran around the whole place through the audience with a wireless on his guitar and mic. Then Flea and the drummer from RHCP streeked the stage. Then after the show we couldn't find our friend...and it turns out she snuck on the Foos tour bus lol

I think that is the same show you are talking about. Actually I'm very sure.

[woundedmullet]

holy crap i was at that show too

[junecharcot]

my god! you are blessed! (?

do you know what would I give for being there?

With this video I confirm I've born in the wrong year and the wrong place. ;_;

[futurecharlie]

Nate's cool but Krist is still the best bassist!

[nikolak29]

Pat is so flippin' awesome

[bar14]

is pat smear back in the band?

i saw the foo fighters on SNL and he was on stage with them.

and i saw another video live somewhere and he was on stage as well. but hes not in their videos.

anyone??

[bronzekiwi733]

i think hes just a touring guitarist

[JordanDowie14]

why is pat smear in this? the fo's had that franz stahl guy from 97 to 99

[boonatron]

Pat was in the band till The MTV VMA's on Sept. 97..He played one song then Franz came on board the next song was in the band till99

[moptop110]

Wait, I meant this and "This is a Call"

[moptop110]

Yeah when they played this and Alone + Easy Target last night, people were singing, but like everyone in our block, perhaps row, weren't singing along, apart from me and my mates , there aren't many old school fans any more :'(

They were still awesome.

[PyroMittens]

They played this last night at Birmingham NEC...it was awesome =D

[guidojma]

I wish there were more older songs like this in the current tour...

[maladroit5000]

Lol pat and dave remind you of nirvana? The original lineup of the band was supposed to be krist noveselic on bass and pat on lead guitar and dave on rythm guitar and vocals. Imagine how close that would be to nirvana.

[dr05guitar]

3:27 "You guys have horrible time..." haha, Dave's hilarious

[jstewartf4president]

this audience looks extremely bored.  maybe they should have stayed home instead of going out to a fucking rock show.

[zamedo87]

Both Pat and Chris are great guitar players, but I miss Pat 'cause he used to do the background vocals. Live songs sound better with him.

[danielmrtns]

yes, yes... he does some great backing vocals on this song too... plus, I'm sorry, but Pat and Dave playing in the same band reminds me a bit more of Nirvana...

[Gukac]

Pat will come back to FF maybe... He has on Skin And Bones, and the BBC Radio One.. :/

[MatzeManiac]

I hate the audience in this gig, most of them don't deserve to listen to this song. It looks like they are listening to some boring country music you can't go crazy to, only the ppl in front of the stage go wild. And that although this is IMO on of the Foos' best songs.

Well, btw., I wish they would dig this gem up again for future performances. It'd be so nice to hear it live again.

[daveiswicked]

its 97. Most of those ppl dont really know ff. ff isnt that known in germany, but I love them :)

[MatzeManiac]

I know, I'm a german ;) Popular or not, the Foos and this song rock. Everybody should appreciate that. :D

[0371998]

yeah solo of pat smear very cool!! I listen my album of foo every day!! i buy it since 2 week

[CRACKHEAD210188]

this song is so amazing damn but the people on the side are music-haters

[musicphan1]

Yeah. They're probably a bunch of people waiting for all the singles to be played and they don't get into the album cuts and b-sides simply because they don't know them. I don't care, even if I don't know the song, I'll get into it if it kicks ass like this one does. I saw Letters to Cleo do "Demon Rock" before I their second album ever came out. I didn't know it, but because it kicked ass I was really into it. I was a hardcore Letters fan though and these are probably just casual "fans".

[SeanByrne42]

Wow, if u look at Pat Smear in the older Foo's videos he's always jumpin round and got this silly look on his face. In this one he's just standing still and looks pissed off! lol

[dave1x1]

es una muy buena cancion. gracias por colocar este video.
