One of my favorite things to do is to go to concerts, there’s many reasons why, but one of big ones is the fact that, onstage, you get to see people living out their dreams. And that’s quite a thing to witness. Whether at Disney Concert Hall, The Hollywood Bowl or the Forum this weekend, the performers are onstage, under the hot lights are putting to practice years of dreams and experience. This weekend at the Forum, 11 yr old drummer, Nandi Bushell got to join Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters onstage to perform their closing track, Everlong. This past year, Nandi had challenged Grohl to a drum-off and after three rounds, won handily. Her prize was performing in front of an audience of over 15,000 Foos fans. Watching her live out her dream, at such a large scale, is quite the thing to witness.
The best footage I’ve seen of the show is by Chris Edge who has an enviable concert collection for your viewing and fangirling pleasure. It’s the feel-good video of the year–at 8:40, Nandi is so in it, she’s grabbing her moment and it’s electric! An incredible performance! Incredible video!
I’ve watched a few times, hopefully you too will be inspired. I’m also inspired by Dave and the band’s generosity to share the stage, sharing their abundance proving there’s enough spotlight for everyone. After decades of different bands and stages, Dave Grohl is still living out his dreams and helping others to do so as well.
