The penultimate stop came in Seattle with the band playing a show at the Showbox, a 1150 capacity venue that opened in the city in 2007. To promote the band’s 2014 album ‘Sonic Highways’ and documentary of the same name Foo Fighters revisited the eight cities that they had recorded at in earlier that year, playing a small show in each city the night that the corresponding episode of the documentary premiered on HBO in the United States. November 28th 2014 – The Showbox, Seattle, WA Some videos of various songs are also available on YouTube, but this is the only complete recording.ĩ. A handful of covers were also thrown into the set including Tom Petty’s ‘Breakdown’, ‘Young Man Blues’ and a very rare performance of the Wings song ‘Jet’, only played on two other occasions for a public audience.Ī recording of the show was known to exist shortly afterwards but it wasn’t until Christmas Day later that year we got to hear it which you can check out below. The band ran through their hits as is usually the case but the long set was also littered with deep-cuts and lesser played tracks such as ‘Winnebago’, ‘Aurora’, ‘New Way Home’, ‘Alone + Easy Target’, ‘Exhausted’ and ‘Enough Space’.

Only one show has gone longer in terms of songs played and a select few have reached that 3hr 30m mark. The 2000 fans who were lucky enough to get tickets and attend were treated to one of the longest ever Foo Fighters shows with 35 full tracks played in a three hour twenty minute set. The band were only scheduled to play a handful of songs acoustically so the day before they also booked a show at the nearby Fillmore to support of Rock The Vote, a non-profit group which aims to engage young people in politics and voting. Touring in support of ‘Wasting Light’ finally came to an end in the fall of 2012 and one of their last appearances was at the Democratic National Convention taking place in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Which ones stood out to us at FooFightersLive? Naturally we weren’t in attendance at every show and so couldn’t possibly take every performance into account but of those we were at, or that we have recording of, we have attempted to decide on the best and put them into some sort of order. Following on from our article a couple of days ago looking back at the last decade of Foo Fighters, today we’re going to focus on the live shows and choose our top 10 of the past 10 years.
