In Local News: Foo Fighters tore through a three-hour set at Providence Park last Friday night, re-christening the soccer stadium with the first concert it has hosted in nearly 20 years. With Chrissie Hynde at the mic, Pretenders warmed up the crowd before Foo Fighters blasted through their discography, and a cigarette. Dave Grohl and company were stoked to be playing in the Rose City, and the stadium show even summoned fireworks, likely surprising nearby condo owners and high-rise apartment dwellers.
Providence Park unveiled her new, stadium-show look. She's simultaneously louder than a sports game (bass! fireworks!) and a great place to have your face rocked off. Music will again rattle the bleachers when Green Day plays the stadium on Sept. 25.
