Someone or something pulled the plug on the Foo Fighters during their last song at this past weekend's Bottlerock Festival in Napa Valley, California.
That would have been a let down if the band wasn't in the middle of their massive hit song "Everlong," which the entire audience sang back to the band after the PA cut off.
You can see at about the 5:33 mark, the stage lights go dark and Dave Grohl looks around wondering what the hell is happening!
While some stage lights (and the video screens on either side of the stage) remain powered, the PA is burnt out. You can hear the band soldier on using just the volume from the amps on the stage, while the audience takes over on the last chorus.
Chills!
SF Gate reports that despite the Foos' two-hour headlining set, the Bottlerock Festival had a "strict 10 p.m. curfew" and was indeed responsible for cutting the PA.
"We have too many f---ing songs," Grohl reportedly said at one point, sensing the time crunch.
SF Gate also notes "Grohl could have been a little more efficient with his time, large chunks of which were used for random noodling and long-winded monologues, plus a “Happy Birthday” sing-along for his wife, Jordyn Blum."
Oh well. It seems there were plenty of satisfied customers anyway.
