A celebratory set from these rock lifers landed in Central Pennsylvania this week. It would have made total, complete sense if Foo Fighters had brought a somber, deeply heavy concert to Hershey this week. The rock veterans’ latest album, last year’s But Here We Are, was not only written in response to the 2022 death of drummer Taylor Hawkins — who had provided the rhythmic heartbeat of the band since 1997 — but also in response to frontman Dave Grohl’s mother Virginia passing that same year. It’s a propulsive, cathartic collection of songs cycling around loss, grief, and healing, and it ranks among the best releases in the Foo Fighters discography.
