I was there playing between the thousand and it was an incredible experience. Initially it seemed impossible to play along in time all together but damn if we succeded! And the concert of the Foos in Cesena was epic, a party of joy and music and unity. Every musician should play with a thousand others once in a lifetime, it makes you feel what music and playing is all about: pure joy. Sorry for my poor english.
You were all so awesome I keep 👀 watching it and it brings me joy as I quarantine I have only left my house 42 times since March 14th 2020 when the pandemic ruled everything and I know Italy got hit really bad I was on disability to have surgery on both feet and I am an RN BSN hospice nurse and I chose to stay on disability instead of going back to work in the middle of the pandemic I cared for my only grandson who just turned 7 and he loves that video and the Foo Fighters thank you so much truly for putting that out for the world to see it is still just amazing best wishes to you and yours now and always peace and love always from Iowa USA where music has meant everything to me while quarantining thanks again truly
Your English is is better than mine and I know I could never learn to speak Italian I think it is so cool that you got to do that and write about it and you so deserve that the Foo Fighters to come and give you a thank-you concert and Dave Grohl was just blown away that that was done and I was listening I'm watching his comments and a gentleman from Belgium answered me because I wanted to know did they come and play for you guys and I'm in the middle of the USA and it just goes to show what Dave Grohl is saying that you know music can connect people everywhere do you mind if I ask you what instrument you're playing cuz it is one of the most amazing musical event I have ever seen thanks again truly deb from Iowa USA peace love and music always
I think anybody that plays cries when they see this. It’s very emotional understanding that 1000 people harmonized 3 instruments and a microphone to make one of the most amazing covers ever.
Without a doubt, it's one of the most "tear-joyous", goosebump filled moments of Rock n' Roll history. People of Italy gather together just to say, "Hey, Foo Fighters, please come play in our town", and Dave delivered. And since then, the 'Rockin; 1000' have done pretty well for themselves. They became a legitimate band, toured around the world, they got to live the Rock n' Roll dream.
He says it kind of took my breath away....I was in that same moment. I was stunned, then my emotions took over. My wife noticed that I had teared up, I didn't. I was singing, air-drumming. The next day I got out my 89 Les Paul and jammed on the front porch!
I just discovered this today and I’m still stunned, to say the least. I’m a drummer and seeing all of them playing in sync has brought me to tears and I’m loving every minute of it. In a world of hate, it’s awesome to see love like this
I cry every time I watch that video because in a world full of division and hatred there are 1,000 people coming together for one purpose and they're so happy.
Hi, me too, Dave grohl is my new hero, looked at all his other stuff since this and he survived Kurt cobain and went on and did this, seen kiss guy, amazing, daughter violet, my hero, it has to be her dad, Dave grohl and his orthopaedic doctor incredible
I cannot put into words what that specific Rockin’ 1000’s video made for me in my life. The impact it had and all of the emotions that it made me feel every single time I watched it and every feeling that resulted from watching that video, digging into FooFighters, digging into lyrics, starting to attempt concerts, giving a shot at music, rethinking life through those lyrics, AND EVEN MORE stuff that resulted from that one video (which was a result from the FooFighters themselves) changed my entire life and I’ not kidding. And here I am, 30 days away from watching them live for the first time in my life here in Monterrey, Mexico. During the “worst” time of life (pandemic), in a time where I thought they would stop giving concerts before I could even afford traveling to see them perform. FF and Rockin’1000 have brought once again joy into my life in times where joy seems hard to find. See y’all in 30 days🤘🏻
I am moved every time I see this video, not only for the fantastic initiative that the guys of rocking 1000 had, but above all for the humility that Dave and the guys had, to accept the invitation! Dave is a musical genius but he still has a clean soul! Thank you foo fighters and Taylor we miss you so much !
All one thousand of these musicians should be collectively inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This so wonderfully captures the connection music brings us. Brought me to tears. What a fantastic testament to the power of music to bring us together.
For those of you who don't know, Dave had broken is frikkin' leg in a previous gig and had to cancel shows on the tour at the time. But he and the Foos by-God showed up to Cesena and did their level best to send the crowd into orbit, walking cast and all
@@gianlucachiaretto5120 condoglianze. Abitavo 10km da Cesena in quel periodo e mi sono sentita davvero orgogliosa di vivere in Italia. Che emozione essere lì, immagino. Non mi considero particolarmente un fan dei FF ma sono molto triste. Taylor era una forza della natura, bello, talentuoso, generoso e, probabilmente anche fragile. Insomma, un uomo.
I played for the foo fighters in that field that day, was overwhelming, nobody knew what expected from all that work but an all day of rhearsal, a raise founding and a lot of unknow (no more) people made that day. From where this clip came from?
I saw the original video and was like "oh no way the band doesn't make a stop there, even if its just Dave, they've got plenty of people that know the music already" good to know that my faith wasn't misplaced in grohl
I can honestly say, i have never seen such things done, accomplishmented for any other band. In history. Just you Dave and the Foo Fighters. R.i.p Taylor
What an amazing story and amazing response from a great human being. DAve you are a true class act and big sho9uot out to the amazing musicians that played in the video
Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins. And Dave Growl won't let the world down now that Taylor is gone. The Foos' will be back is the faith my rock & roll heart rest on. Thank You Dave. And thank you Rockin 1000.
In 6,500 years of recorded history only 248 years have had no wars. These muscians are armed with stronger weapons than any soldier, the singers with stronger, more powerful voices than any leader. Imagine every muscian around the world dedicating 5-10 minutes to simultaneously playing " Give Peace A Try".
I asked anyone if they knew if the Foo Fighters did go play for these 1000 wonderful Italian musicians and a fella from Belgium and now I'm watching Dave Grohl and now I'm going to watch the video I am in Iowa USA I have always loved the Foo Fighters it just blows me away that someone from Belgium answer me as to how I could watch that and it just goes to show that what you say that music has a connection music has been everything to me I've only left my house 42 times since March 14th 2020 I am an RN BSN hospice nurse because I had to have surgery on both my feet and I had the opportunity to stay on disability and I chose to stay on disability so I could quarantine and I cared for my only grandson who loves your song on the airplane LOL and he just turned seven and my daughter is Mom Works in a grocery store and she was never recognized as a Frontline essential worker no invites to concerts or gift cards from the corporate office of the grocery store and what is more essential than food so I am going to watch your video now and wish you all the best now and always and thank you for your music truly sincerely deb from Iowa USA where we can keep on rocking in the Free World of the United States of America peace and love always
I meant to end my textbook with peace love and music always I've always loved the Foo Fighters and when you are in and Nirvana to so thanks again for the music truly
I’ve faced similar crap, but our government proved that they cared about us and made it a lot easier than I’ve seen in other countries, in Australia thanks to that we’ve suffered a lot less
This gives me a glimpse of what the songs in Heaven will sound like - Billions of musicians from all across time, praising and worshipping God at the end of time! Won't that be cool!
I thought of this when doc Watson died. I said well he’s up there with his son merle and all the other musicians (not just the bluegrass ones) that have gone, and he will see his sons face for the first time. As hard as it is for us to miss them here, it won’t be the last time we see them. Edit wasn’t sure if I could write this. I had to stay at my parents for the last year because my dad was really sick. We got in the car on one of the many trips to the hospital and I said ok we gotta find some common ground on the music situation. So I made a playlist of doc Watson singing gospel songs with all different musicians, and that’s what we’d listen to. I’d say “pick it merle” (because doc used to cue everyone for their solo parts) and we’d laugh and laugh, and sing the whole way there and back. Which is why next Saturday at my dads memorial I’m going to play doc doing peace in the valley. He really loved that one. He loved them all really. And I think maybe he’ll be sitting with doc listening. 💕
I woulda asked them to play this one more time for me Cause god I wish I coulda been in that field to hear this in person For him easy trade, tho I woulda gone anyway if I was him How can you ignore this?
Or.....How about you go away Earl? We happen to love Dave Grohl because he is the exact opposite personality type to someone who sounds like you. Take your hate and negativity elsewhere. It doesn't work here. Peace out.
@@barbarapavia5170 yeah the dee gees what musical brilliance and artistic integrity but that's the kind of crap he's been producing. Grohl has devolved into a dime store celebrity joke in love with his own reflection. can't wait for his next appearance on the Ellen show whenever she makes her comeback. you're the fool.
I was on my hospital bed, recovering from a hip replacement when a friend who had MS sent me the link. I watched it every day during my recovery, and I have shared it with countless friends and people I know. Looking at the people playing puts a smile on my face every time: young, middle age, old(ish), guys, girls, all together having a great time, smiling and having FUN. This video will stay in a special place in my heart..... The power of music (and Rock N Roll!)
