The band—fronted by the unmistakable energy of Dave Grohl—launched into the song with ferocity, drums pounding like a heartbeat echoing through the soul of every listener. Grohl’s relentless drumming drove the song forward, his sticks a blur in the dim stage light, but all eyes were on Taylor Hawkins.
