The Foo Fighters are on the last leg of their extensive Concrete and Gold world tour. The rock legends have been hitting the stage each night with an explosion of heartfelt thunder and all of their smashing classics. With various dates still on the band's itinerary, we have our tour spoilers for you to get a sneak peak into what a Concrete and Gold show looks like. Check them out:
Q: Have they been playing any encores?
Oh yes! At every show the band has performed at least two encore songs but it usually is around four. We have most frequently seen them come back out with "Big Me," "Times Like These," "Everlong," and "Generator."
Q: Any Special Guests?
The Foo Fighters have been joined on stage by a long list of impressive acts including Chad Smith from Red Hot Chili Peppers, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Joe Walsh, John Travolta, and Guns N' Roses. Watch the band bring out Guns N' Roses for a legendary performance of "It's So Easy" at their tour stop in Florence, Italy:
Q: Have they been covering anything or are they only sticking to originals?
The band has been regularly covering two to three songs each night and has recently stuck to covering Queen's "Under Pressure," The Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop," and Alice Cooper's "Under My Wheels." Watch them cover "Blitzkrieg Bop" below:
Q: How long have the sets on the Concrete and Gold tour been?
They have been averaging a 23-track setlist each night!
Q: Have they performed the same setlist every night?
The haven't performed the same set each night but they also haven't been drastically changing it night-to-night. The majority of tracks, and the order of them, have been relatively the same with only slight changes or add ins. Check out their setlist from their show last night in Chicago, Illinois:
What kind of fan interaction has there been?
As many of you know, any Foo Fighters show will have both the crowd and Dave Grohl drenched in sweat, and loving it within the first 15 minutes. The acclaimed front-man spends nearly the same amount of time rocking out to their songs as he does trying to get the crowd on his level. At recent shows he has told the crowd:
"Let's sing a song together. Show us what a loud-ass audience you can be"
