A Feel-Good Video for the Day · 6:27pm Sep 29th, 2018
Do you like Foo Fighters? Do you like "Learn to Fly"? Have you ever wanted to see it performed by 1000 musicians simultaneously? How remarkably specific. But since this is the Internet, exactly that happened, and it's amazing:
Context: this particular event happened in mid-2015 in Cesena, a city in Italy, where a thousand people (mostly Italians) gathered under the name "Rockin' 1000" to put on a performance and try to convince Foo Fighters to perform there. Dave Grohl saw the video, posted a response the next day thanking them (in Italian!), and the band performed a concert there before the year was up, even inviting a few of the Rockin' 1000 onstage for a rendition of "Under Pressure".
Just something very impressive I wanted to share.
(Fun fact: the name "Foo Fighters" comes from unidentified objects spotted by pilots during World War II. Grohl hates the name and has said that, if he'd known the band was going to become as big as it has, he would've chosen something else.)
Heck yeah I do.
This has left me speechless.
I love that song.
That is amazing. :D What a great song to get that kind of treatment!
