# Foo Fighters unleashes its fury during marathon Enterprise Center concert

Deep into Foo Fighters’ sweaty marathon of a sold-out concert Saturday night at the Enterprise Center, heads banged, fists were raised, and legs came clean off.

We’ve heard of wigs, shirts and even panties coming off at concerts, but legs (plural) are a whole other thing, sounding like a first in a world of diminishing firsts.

While in the middle of band introductions and covers of songs including “Jump,” “Under Pressure” and “Blitzkrieg Bop,” lead singer Dave Grohl noticed a fan holding up his prosthetic leg, which he responded to with the offer of a margarita. Within seconds, a second concert-goer held up a different prosthetic leg, followed by a third.

If this didn’t top the viral moment from the previous Foo Fighters show in Kansas City, when a 10-year-old boy joined the band on stage to play Grohl’s guitar on Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” it was at least a moment all its own.

“This is the coolest show we’ve ever played in our entire lives. It can’t get any more insane than it already has,” Grohl said.

Before this transpired, the two hour-plus concert was already a night to remember. More than 14,000 fans turned out for the local stop of the “Concrete and Gold Tour,” in its final days after kicking off during the summer of 2017.

Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins, guitarists Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear and bassist Nate Mendel took the stage in typically unassuming fashion, house lights up, for opening song “Run.” And the band took off from there, championing rock ’n’ roll at its highest level.

“You’re already (expletive) riled up, I can see ya,” Grohl exclaimed. “I hope you’re ready for a long (expletive) night.”

Performing against a simple but effective video backdrop that at one point hovered low and flat over the band, Foo Fighters kept the focus on presenting pure rock ’n’ roll, with the glorious excess associated with it, on songs such as “Walk,” “These Days,” “The Pretender,” “All My Life,” “Learn to Fly” and more bangers.

Circling around the fact that rock’s popularity isn’t what it used to be, Grohl served as one of its biggest supporters, saying he came to play rock ’n’ roll and he likes it raw, teasing Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s lyric “Ooh, baby, I like it raw.”

Foo Fighters, this deep into its career, continues releasing its fury with no indications of softening.

Ninety minutes into the show, Grohl proclaimed the band wasn’t close to being done and fans deserved more rock ’n’ roll after paying all that money for tickets, Ticketmaster fees and parking, resulting in Shiflett’s guitar solo. Speaking of solos, earlier between “La Dee Da” and “Sunday Rain,” Hawkins offered a ferocious drum solo, complete with an elevated drum kit, that was off the rails.

After the powerful one-two-three punch of “My Hero,” “Monkey Wrench” and “Best of You,” the band retreated from the stage, and what looked like a live feed from backstage showed Grohl and Hawkins debating over whether they’d come back to the stage to do two or three songs. Grohl held up two fingers but lost to Hawkins as the band returned for “Dirty Water,” “This is a Call” and “Everlong.”

At one point, Grohl told the crowd he didn’t want to leave and asked could they hang all night.

It was clear the audience wouldn’t have minded if the band did just that.

Gang of Youth opened the concert.
