Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl envisions the return of live concerts in a new op-ed
in the COVID-19 era, reminisces about important shows from his past and enthuses about the reciprocal joy of playing onstage.
“In today’s world of fear and unease and social distancing, it’s hard to imagine sharing experiences like these ever again,” Grohl writes. “I don’t know when it will be safe to return to singing arm in arm at the top of our lungs, hearts racing, bodies moving, souls bursting with life. But I do know that we will do it again, because we have to.”
Grohl writes with vivid detail about watching U2 play in Washington D.C. during their 2001 Elevation Tour, noting his surprise that their “massive production” wasn’t all about bells and whistles. “I waited for the lights to go out so that I could lose myself in a magnificent, state-of-the-art rock show,” he writes. “To my surprise, the band walked onstage without any introduction, house lights fully illuminated, and kicked into the first song beneath their harsh, fluorescent glow, without the usual barrage of lasers and LED screens we’ve all become accustomed to. The brilliant move stunned the audience and began an unforgettable concert on a very raw, personal note.
