The song is about his sister, who almost died from an abusive relationship in 2003. He argued with his sister to leave and this song was what he came up with to persuade her. Obviously worked since she’s no longer with him.
They should start doing that jam everytime they play this song. I usually don't like when they start doing long jam sessions in their songs, but this one was just brilliant.
it was at 5:35 that dave grohl realized the crowd influenced an improv jam session. great direction by grohl, and even better read from hawkins. amazing chemistry.
I saw then in citi field and it was literally the best concert I've ever been to! There was so much emotion as 30,000 people chant and he's paying guitar. Foo Fighters are life!!!
I remember they played in Lowlands a few year back, and the decided to quit before the set was ended because it was like 42 degrees celcius out (don't blame them). But they still ended with Best Of You. And after the song was done, we kept chanting that little part that the audience chants, until they came back and finished the set.
I saw them on Lowlands festival in '12. They decided to end their set early, because it was 40 Celcius, so they played Best of you early. Before the outro, people thought it already ended, and started chanting for live 5 minutes. The band waited until we finished, and played the outro. A few minutes after that, they came back on stage, and finished the rest of their set.
Just saw these guys in St Louis. Best of you was so incredible, it was acoustic but man it was just as powerful (I think they play Best of You acoustically now as the song wears Taylor out.) Chant still broke out and everything, such an incredible night. I won't be able to speak normally for days.
For some reason this song makes me cry Dave is on top now...we all just look up to him.... Lady at 3:59 - 4:03 is me whenever I listen to Best Of You. god I wish i could extend that jam session to an hour and put it on repeat forever.
"The Best of You " song is a constant reminder of my soul mate. I dedicated it to him the first time I heard it. Abd today it still stands firm .And today we are still connected as soul mates. We do give the best of you to one another. Rob , this is once again for you from me ...loveme
foo fighters just trying to get their video to 10 minutes 😤 5:45 | I got tears in my eyes. Such a beautiful moment. Holy cow it's as if Pink Floyd suddenly possessed the band
