[Metemi]

He's just so STRONG.  Never been anyone who could hit the drums like that so consistently, he just never lets up.  He's an athlete really.

[DoctorMcHerp]

The coordination of his hair flipping is just beautiful to watch. It's like his hair is being blown backwards with each corresponding hit.

[joman]

I would love isolated cameras on Kurt, Krist, and Dave throughout the whole concert! One could dream.

[ssonicdeafmonkey]

Kurt and Dave's voices sound glorious together.

[LukeMiester]

This is probably my favourite style of drumming, not crazy technical just loud and badass haha it also fits the music as well, it's not just crazy bashing with no rhythm or anything. I love all the drum tracks on Nirvana's songs so much

[unicornsandmonkeypoo]

I can't get over how good looking Dave is and he's such a phenomenal drummer.

[jxrikv]

dave took nirvana to new heights—just an absolute class act.

I don't care what anyone says, Dave is the greatest rock drummer of all time.

[gabbogaffe]

Nothing hotter than a guy absolutely beating the shit out of his drums

[kianconroy]

He makes it look so easy to have that much energy and power in his playing throughout the whole concert...best drummer in the whole world in my opinion

[wanderingtear]

The fact that he can still play like that is crazy, truly one of the best drummers in the world.

[vikings]

His best moment was in BREED for sure!! When it starts an he spits in the air as the light catches it is THEE greatest moment of his drumming highlights!!!

[ruvensama]

I swear, he's a fucking metronome... one that can play extremely fast, complex beats while singing for about and hour and a half...

[TheRealSweetcherryo]

This Dave and now Dave are like 2 totally different guys and I love them both...

[Wunlerve]

I would happily watch the unedited footage of this even though it would be hours long

[matthewjames]

I don't think people realize just how good a drummer Dave Grohl is. Just a phenomenal musician through and through. I would have loved to have been at this show: one of my all-time favorite bands at one of my all-time favorite venues. Thanks for posting this.

[ElDarren]

Amazing compilation! We're reminded once again that Dave Grohl is an absolute monster
🔥🔥🔥

[ville]

[georgiaoliver]
