On September 16, 2017, just one day after the release of their ninth studio album, "Concrete and Gold," Foo Fighters took the stage at the BARTS club in Barcelona for a special, intimate performance. Part of the MTV World Stage series, this concert was a powerhouse celebration, giving a lucky Spanish audience one of the first opportunities to hear the new material live.
Frontman Dave Grohl and the band were in top form, delivering a marathon 25-song set that showcased their legendary energy and endurance. The setlist was a perfect blend of old and new, weaving fresh tracks like "The Sky Is a Neighborhood," "La Dee Da," and the explosive single "Run" alongside a trove of their most beloved anthems. The crowd was treated to electrifying renditions of classics such as "Everlong," "My Hero," "The Pretender," and "Best of You."
This performance captures a unique moment in the band's history: the raw excitement of launching a new album combined with the confidence of a veteran rock act at the peak of its powers. The intimate setting of BARTS provided a stark contrast to the massive stadiums the band usually commands, making for a truly memorable and high-octane night of rock and roll.
