I was the kid Dave came up to, and I come watch this back every now and then. It really was an amazing moment, and I can't believe all the comments I see about me! I just don't want people to think I was some ungrateful little kid. I'm a huge Foo Fighters fan and I think that Dave wrote the song to describe the "times like these". If anyone watched the entire webcast, they were lucky enough to see that I got Dave's shoes at the end of the show.. I still have them on display in my home. I would definitely want to go back to this day. I just thought people would want to hear how I felt about my experience, don't mean to brag at all.

RIP Taylor Hawkins, absolute beast of a drummer❤

Honestly, that moment with Dave, the kid, and the guitar, makes this performance one of the most epic performances of all time. It makes me smile and tear up with joy every time I watch this.

Difficult to believe this is 10 years ago!

Nate's bass never sound so loud and powerful

Perfect sound mix for a live show. You can tell every hit on every instrument

I think it's no coincidence The Foos dressed like the Beatles when they played this Ed Sullivan theatre. Even the logo on the drums uses the same font the Beatles had on their kit. Dave never misses a trick!! The ultimate rock band!!!!!

That kick drum is on speed !

What is going to take to get these guys in the R&R Hall of Fame. They are the definition of what it is to be a rockin, tight, band.

I've always wondered if the kid in the audience that Dave reached out to still watches this video and if he still gets a thrill from it. God bless the person that took him to the show too. That must have been such a thrill for you all. I know I would never forget that night. I would be willing to bet that Dave gave him some incentive to get into music.

Dave Grohl has almost single handedly kept rock-and-roll alive over the last two decades. Future generations will owe an immense debt of gratitude to him

I LOVE THE WAY Pat Smear JUMPS AT THE ODDEST OF TIMES :D

This song always kicks me up on my darkests times.

Nobody.... NOBODY has as much fun working as these guys!

2:49 - Why DG is a national treasure. The music’s an afterthought. 💪

The Foo writes some beautiful songs that bring up a well of tears from deep within that I forgot I had. This one is another one of those songs.

Hard to believe! R.I.P. Taylor. Definitely one of the best Drummers and all around cool dude! Prayers are with his family and many friends. Dennis 61 years Austin, Tx

Grohl,goes down and shows the kid the chord,Wow pure class!

Without a doubt, the most underrated band ever... Dave is such a class guy, I’ve seen many concerts when he involves the fan base. Shows his appreciation every time. Fan for life!

Love the somewhat subtle Beatles themes that FF use in these performances. Can't go wrong with that!

We need this on days like this.

Dave really is a truly awesome guy. You can see why he is called the nicest guy in rock n roll. What a legend he is!

My son is 32, and Foo Fighters are his favorite band ! I'm a very proud father.

Million hugs to u guys from a fan for decades so sorry, I feel like I lost a friend and we never met ,only thru love of music

I, I'm a one way motorway I'm the one that drives away Then follows you back home I, I'm a street light shining I'm a wild light blinding bright Burning off alone It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again I, I'm a new day rising I'm a brand new sky To hang the stars upon tonight I am a little divided Do I stay or run away And leave it all behind? It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again

So sorry about Taylor. His brotherly bond with Dave was something very special. They were like family.

Rock n' Roll bands need to perform wearing suits more like they did in the 60's, this is so classy and cool.

that just warmed my heart

I never get sick of hearing this song............ 🤘🤘🔥🔥

Man,what a beautiful song and what a beautiful band period!: great live band. I now know why Mr.TAYLOR Hawkins is so much well loved and respected. This here is truly a tight family. Dave Grohl and his Foo-Fighters band" Great Drummer' very solid- Very heavy Hitter" a powerhouse drummer, very "Locomotive like a Chu ' Chu'Train-love his style Taylor Hawkins is now a Rock 'N Roll Legend Forever ' Everyone misses him.

Absoluted briliant

One of most exciting and happy songs ever written! Brazil loves FF! 🇧🇷

RIP Taylor. What made you the best drummer is that I can hear you so well, I tend to focus on your drumming. Man, you could slam that thing. And you had fun doing it.

I learned to play this 16 years ago. It meant the world to me then nut it took a whole new meaning on when we learned of my mum's cancer. This was the first song I heard after we heard it come be treated. Not looking for sympathy guys, just saying. This song is the shit! Love you guys!

This is a song on late night tv...there is no better..think about it..this video..keeps us all alive..greatness..Thankyou..Foo Fighters...

The happiness on the face of that kid is priceless.

This is the Foo's at their best....

I think this is by far the best live version of this song. Between the sound management, the middle at 2:20 and the ending, just an amazing recording!!

I miss Letterman and all the musicians he had on his show and outside the building. I was fortunate to see him live twice when visiting New York.

The part with the kid is exciting! It's music that has not expired

The bass is awesome !!!

just my humble opinion, this song may just cure depression...

Can you be heartbroken and numb at the same time? I still haven't shed a tear over his passing because I still don't accept it's true. I don't plan on crying anytime soon, I'll just crank their albums and it will go on and on forever...🤘

I'm glad the Foo's decided to continue on. But it will never be the same without Taylor's raw drumming and huge smile. Rest in peace. ❤

Awesome song. Even the chords and leads are phenomenal. The tacky bass licks and the drumming. Hell even the lyrics are badass. If you ever wrote music you would know they had fun writing this.

Woo so cool and super sweet Dave, this kid must be happy. :-))

No drummer will ever bring the excitement like Taylor...except maybe his son.

What a great experience for that boy, something he will never forget. what an honor being able to help Dave play his awesome guitar.

GRANDE TAYLOR !!

Love this band! Love Dave especially! I love my Fooooo! 2:59 is the time when the kid thought: "Damn, I wanna play guitar now"

These foos got some heat

My favorite group band forever

The passion that these guys display on stage is stirring and humbling. As an aspiring artist I am "mouth agape" as I hear what they do. Masters of their craft and will go down in history as one of the greatest rock bands ever. Funny that they weren't in it to be the greatest, it happened through their true passion and commitment.

The last time I saw a friend of mine was when he sent me a message/video on facebook playing this song. He died that night. This is an amazingly special song. Rest in Peace Wayne Roberts xxxxxxxxxx

I had to scroll through tens of "slow" versions to finally find the one and only kickass version! Yeah!

Bass badass!!!❤🔥

Apresentação épica! Essa música toca na alma... A força do Rock! Grunge is not dead!

Mi banda FAVORITA💓 Foo Fighters 💓

Not only fantastic, enduring rockers these guys are good humans. I was fortunate enough to see Dave with Nirvana and see him bring FF together, their music was a big part of my life and still is. RIP Taylor 🙏.

Ffs brilliant 👍🏻

Letterman's sound guy is amazing!

"Sing it if you know it!" We know every single word Dave. You can wake us from an alcohol induced coma and we can still give you like 99%.

Just love this performance on this song and they all are dressed so handsome .Thanks for having them on ❤

In 10 years that kid will be a guitar slinger and he'll owe it all to Dave. That just ROCKED!

de terno e gravata ou de camiseta, o Foo Fighters é puro rock !

THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NO ! So sad for the Foo Fighters family . Taylor was AWESOME ! I don't know how .... but the show must go on .

First time watching the Foo's since Taylor. Still hurts

That was probably the best time of FF career. They were just FUCKING AWESOME. They still are.

That kid must have been so happy

That drumming is so very tight!

Sounds great.

Simply awesomeness

The only band keeping rock n’ roll alive other than the RHCP

Gotta love me some Dave, this is my favorite song ever of theirs along with ALL My LIfe, 2 songs that rock forever and ever and ever and I've to listen to both of them at least 3 times a week for a decade now..lol

wow, I am crying .... what a music, what group, what a man !!! this is rock.....

Ouvi várias vezes seguidas! Muito bom!

ONLY 50 ... God Bless your soul Taylor Hawkins

My favorite Foo fighters song, really good!!

Man, I didn't even know Taylor Hawkins was from Ft.Worth Texas, Hits even harder now that I know he was from Texas. I grew up in Grand Prairie,Texas (Arlington area) and played locally after I graduated high school. Man, I am now a true fan of "Taylor Hawkins Forever." Taylor Hawkins is my new favorite drummer' from now on period. I have Taylor Hawkins over Rush's drummer Neil Peart" and Rick Allen from Def Leppard" even though I still love Rick Allen from Def Leppard, but Taylor Hawkins is very powerful on the 🥁 drums

RIP Taylor 😢😢😢😢😢

Times like these

Dave Grohl has to be the nicest person in rock n roll. He deserves every great that that happens to him and his band.

Super cool! What a sound! What a band!

Foo Fighters. The best of the best! Can't wait to see them live again! They ROCK!!!!!!

You can't convince me Dave Grohl isn't one of the best frontmen in the history of modern music. The dude ALWAYS is high energy and nothing but LOVE for his fans, especially the kids! Fuckin legend 🙌 RIP T.H.

OMG CHILD!!!! You lucky devil ;)

How can you not smile after seeing this performance! I hope that kid looks back on the experience with great joy!

RIP , TH what a drummer
