Foo Fighters Cover Beatles And Petty In Mexico

Following Monday night’s secret show at a pizza parlor, the Foo Fighters played their first show announced to the public in over a year and first-ever performance in Mexico last night at Foro Solo in Mexico City.

The Foo’s 26-song performance focused on songs from their most recent release, Wasting Light, along with their “greatest hits” and a pair of covers. Those covers were Tom Petty’s “Breakdown” and a solo acoustic performance by Grohl of “Blackbird” by The Beatles. Grohl and his band also worked part of Pink Floyd’s “In The Flesh” into the mix. As with the pizza parlor show, last night’s performance didn’t include any new songs from the album the Foo’s have been working on. The show ended with a second encore of “Everlong.”
