Foo Fighters Perform Concrete and Gold in Auckland, New Zealand

Venue: Mount Smart Stadium Location: Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Date: February 3, 2018

In the context of the Foo Fighters' career, the live recording from Auckland on February 3, 2018, stands as a poignant chapter in their history. This performance was part of their “Concrete and Gold” world tour, which highlights their ninth studio album, “Concrete and Gold,” released in September 2017. The album marked an evolution in their sound, incorporating more experimental elements while still delivering that classic Foo Fighters energy—a blend of rock anthems and introspective lyrics. Interestingly, this concert also held deep emotional weight, as it would be the last show featuring drummer Taylor Hawkins in New Zealand. Hawkins, a cherished member of the band, contributed significantly to their dynamic, and his absence has been felt deeply among fans and the band alike. It's a bittersweet reminder of both the joy of live music and the fleeting nature of time with our favorite artists.
