I was at the Foo Fighters gig where Dave Grohl fell off the stage and broke his leg, after which the rest of the band spent an hour playing various covers until Dave came back on stage high on pain meds mixed with alcohol and resumed the show. A doctor had to sit on stage and keep his leg fixed for the rest of the show until they could take him to the hospital to give him a cast, and the entire crowd dedicated “My hero” to the doctor. That show was fucking awesome.
I saw the Foo Fighters in 2008. Nothing crazy like that happened but it was an absolutely amazing show. The highlight was Dave heading to the B-stage with his acoustic guitar for Everlong, then leading into the bridge and all the lights went down. It was silent for a good 5-10 seconds until he just starts running back to the A-stage, all the lights went up, and the whole band started going hard as fuck and he screams “YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH” and they did the last verse as hard as I’ve ever heard it. The energy was insane.
