Dave Grohl is looking to cut loose. After a turbulent few years characterised by loss, tabloid headlines and an emotional comeback at one of the biggest gigs of all time - no, not that one - the Foo Fighters frontman is overjoyed to be back on-stage, playing to a sweltering 1500-capacity O2 Ritz in Manchester. We know, because he tells us frequently through the night.
"Isn't this great?" he enthuses. "We get to fucking get loose, and get sweaty and get loud with you guys like we don't get to in other places! How many of you stood in line to get these tickets? Sorry for the inconvenience. But it felt kind of good right? To do it the old school way?"
