If you've been frequenting the site recently, you're probably aware that the Foo Fighters just released their seventh studio album, Wasting Light, on Tuesday. And while I have yet to write a proper review of the album, I can tell you that I love it. Then again, I've already expressed my love for the band as they've been such a big part of my life growing up. Anytime the band releases an album, I always get excited, and, clearly (above), pick it up. I hope to review Wasting Light for the site, but only time will tell if I get to it. I'm hoping to, but I can't make any promises.
Anyways, on Tuesday, the Foos appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman to perform Wasting Light's first single "Rope." If you've kept up with the band and/or The Late Show, then you know that Foo Fighters are regulars on the show (Letterman has even called them his favorite band). So, it only made sense then that the band's stint at the Ed Sullivan Theater wouldn't stop at just one performance. Members of the audience were in for a real treat Tuesday when the band stuck around to perform a nearly two hour concert.
Donning black suits, adjusting their guitars to chest level, the Foos performed in front of the same stage setup featured in The Beatles historic 1964 appearance at the theater. As a part of the "Live on Letterman" series, the band performed a web-only concert that saw them play Wasting Light in its entirety followed by a number of other songs, including "Stacked Actors" and hits like "Everlong" and "Learn To Fly." The first half of the show was even shot in black and white to further capture the aesthetic of that classic 1964 performance. Watch the whole concert after the hop.
Wasting Light is out now on Roswell/RCA. In case you missed it, you can listen to the whole album (for free) right here.
