Foo Fighters kicked off their UK summer tour at Manchester's Old Trafford Stadium last night, June 13, and treated fans to a typically epic set, with a few surprises thrown in.
The most unexpected inclusion on the 24-song setlist was a previously unheard Foo Fighters song, Unconditional , which a representative of the band told the Consequence of Sound website, was “partially written and demo’d during home studio sessions years ago — but ultimately left unfinished.”
“The band’s rediscovery of Unconditional happened in true spontaneous Foo Fighters fashion: The song came up in conversation during rehearsals for the UK tour, and all it took was one run-through -The decision was made instantly to share it with everyone in the same way - live.”
Watch the world premiere of the song below:
The set also saw frontman Dave Grohl perform Under You from 2022's But Here We Are album solo for the first time, and a medley of band member solos, which included guitarist Chris Shiflett perform Van Halen's Eruption , bassist Nate Mendel play Beastie Boys' Sabotage , and drummer Josh Freese get to show his skills on Devo's Whip It and Nine Inch Nails' March Of The Pigs , in acknowledgment of the fact that he has played with both bands.
"He also played with Michael Bublé," Grohl added, "but we're not doing that shit tonight."
