The Pretender (Very easy decision)

But, Honestly (Also pretty easy)

Stranger Things Have Happened (I definitely wouldn't consider either of these to be one of my favorites, but I do enjoy this song considerably more than Statues)

Let It Die (Definitely the toughest choice this round, but I think this is the right choice)

 

I like this album, but it's probably my fifth or sixth favorite of theirs.

The first time I ever saw them live though was on this album cycle, so it'll always have a special place in my heart!

Here's when I saw them: Foo Fighters Setlist at Quicken Loans Arena, Cleveland

I've only seen them one other time - in 2011 in support of Wasting Light which was awesome

 

Jesus the first 5 of that set! I would have been able to leave happy after just those lol.

Opening up with Let It Die sounds awesome and something they will probably never do again. Seems like something that was specific for the album tour

Seen the Foos three times! First one maybe has the best setlist overall, but they played Aurora at The Gorge.

I've only seen Foo Fighters once and it was the 2005 Co-Headliner with Weezer (The Foozer tour).

Foo closed the show, but Weezer played 19 songs - including an encore AND a cover of Big Me.

Phenomenal show.

I’ve seen them live three times. Live in Hyde Park, Skin and Bones, and Live at Wembley

What’s that? Oh, that’s not the same thing?

Well nvm then

 

The Pretender
Summer's End
Statues (kinda meh on both of these songs)
Let It Die (toughest match for me)

I've seen these guys twice, both times at Fenway Park. First time was rough because I realized that I had strep throat about half way through the set and it hit me hard at that point. Probably one of my worst concert experiences because I was in so much pain and just wanted to go home but I was with a group so no way we could leave. This was also the same summer Dave was recovering from breaking his leg and had his throne with him all tour.

Second time was so much better this past summer when they had Dinosaur Jr. and Speedy Ortiz open. No medical problems on my end so I could fully enjoy it. One of the most memorable parts of the show was when they played Sunday Rain (on a Sunday) and it started downpouring as they finished the song. Luckily I was under a covered area in the park so didn't get soaked for the rest of the night.


First set: Foo Fighters Setlist at Fenway Park, Boston
Second Set: Foo Fighters Setlist at Fenway Park, Boston

 

Saw them two times. First time on the Broken Leg tour. It started pouring rain as soon as the first notes of Everlong started and the show was cancelled after four songs.

Second time was last summer. Frank Turner and Greta Van Fleet opened. Pouring rain started during Greta Van Fleet, but luckily it stopped before Foo Fighters entered the stage. I was front row and it was awesome.
