This is a performance I remember and I’m so happy it’s on Youtube (video below the jump): Foo Fighters performing “The One” (one of my favorites of theirs) – on the big stage during the Salt Lake City winter Olympics. They’re so cold and so into it they’re almost out of breath. It’s not about the perfection of the vocals or the sound – neither are perfect in this venue. It’s about the energy, and the feel of the show itself. The crowd is out of hand. I love the shot of the people dancing around wrapped in American flags. I love it when Dave Grohl screams.
Everyone makes one mistake
One more time for old times sake
One more time before the feeling fades
One that’s born of memories
One more bruise you gave to me
One more test just how much can I take?
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like this,
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like shit,
Something never meant to be
Everything you meant to me
Wake me when this punishment is done
Those who try and get away
From the one who gets away
Someone’s always someone else’s one
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like this,
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like shit,
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like this,
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can makes me feel like shit,
Until the end of time,
In another life,
Until the day I die,
Just save it up for one more try,
Save it for the last goodbye,
We go on again off again on again off,
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like this
You’re not the one
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like shit
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like this
You’re not the one
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like shit
You’re not the one,
but you’re the only one who can make me feel like this
You’re not the one
but you’re the only one who makes me feel like…oh, shit!
