But the new EP also features “These Days” from 2011’s Wasting Light<\/em>, “My Hero” from 1997’s The Colour and the Shape<\/em> and “Aurora,” from 1999’s There’s Nothing Left to Lose<\/em>. As they’ve done for the past two years, Dave Grohl<\/a> poignantly dedicates “Aurora’ (which you can listen to below) to late Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins<\/a>, who died suddenly in 2022<\/a>.<\/p>\n All of the songs were recorded during special “underplay” concerts the band played in April and May at New York’s Irving Plaza and the Starland Ballroom in New Jersey.<\/p>\n After spending the summer playing a mix of headlining and festival shows overseas, Foo Fighters officially opened the North American leg of their Take Cover world tour on Tuesday (Aug. 4) in Toronto.<\/p>\n The current set list is surprisingly heavy on material from throughout their career, while offering up (so far) only a couple of songs from Your Favorite Toy<\/em>. It’s a long evening of music, featuring no shortage of Foo Fighters classics and also, an acoustic set midway through the night that finds the band moving to a smaller stage.<\/p>\n It’s a moment that brings further intimacy to the material that they’re performing in that section of the show. Grohl also used it as the setting on Thursday evening (Aug. 6) to pay tribute to L7’s Jennifer Finch, dedicating their performance of “Marigold” to the bassist, who passed away recently<\/a> after battling cancer.<\/p>\n The band’s tour continues Saturday (Aug. 8) at Soldier Field in Chicago<\/p>\nThe Current Foo Fighters Tour<\/h3>\n
