Boston Calling 2023: Emotional Performances and Lineup Changes.
TL;DR
The Foo Fighters' emotional return to the stage at Boston Calling saw the band showcase their new percussion section, including newcomer Josh Freese, who added a tightness and thrust to their sound. The absence of late drummer Taylor Hawkins was felt throughout the set, but his son Shane received a wave of love and applause from the crowd when he took over the drums for a song. Dave Grohl delivered a performance of depth and grit, and the band ended with their trusted finale 'Everlong', leaving no need for an encore.
