A living room Foo Fighters concert cannot compare to a live one -- not even close. It was better than nothing at the height of Covid, though, and I’m glad Sharon, Chris, Hark, and I got to share it. It was particularly satisfying because Sharon initiated it! I’ve enjoyed aspects of every class at Frost, but occasionally, IAs are window dressing – no introduction, no name the first day of class. That’s never been the case with Sharon, who saw the value of including from the beginning and asked to get together outside of class!
Once we worked through tech issues, there were a bunch of memorable moments: “All My Life,” “Rope,” “Walk,” and Dave’s speech about the importance of coming together. It was also funny to see Sharon’s son (my former student) bust out a TikTok dance (Lil Massive’s “Renegade”) halfway through. The best part of the concert, ironically, was afterward. The band played a lot fewer songs than usual, so we decided we’d play whatever songs we wanted! Hark sang “Learn To Fly,” 1000 Italian musicians sang “Learn to Fly,” and both houses sang “Everlong” – all strong memories.
Grade: B+
