Having not been to Toyota Pavilion in Concord at all during this 2024 season, Spinning Platters made the long journey twice in four days (see also Megadeth + Mudvayne)! It really is a trek too… from our satellite penthouse office in San Francisco, there’s a thirty-minute MUNI bus followed by a fifty-minute BART ride followed by a twenty-minute Pavilion shuttle, and traveling back after any show typically takes even longer. All that said, it certainly is worth it to be able to bring these shows to life to the readers with our photos and words… it just takes longer to travel than some of these bands’ headlining sets are!
Except for Foo Fighters…
Foo Fighters put on a marathon nearly three-hour show. Three hours! (actually, two hours + forty-five minutes, but who’s counting?!) Definitely longer than either commute. They delivered an electrifying performance, leaving a sold-out packed house of 12,000 enthusiastic fans thoroughly delighted.
In addition, the stunning visual display brought the overall show to the next level, thanks to the impressive use of lights and the giant video wall flanking the entire stage behind the band. Have a look at some of the many background changes…
Along with their reputation for high-energy shows, Dave and the band lived up to every bit of their rock royalty status, making the evening a memorable one for everyone!
Riot grrrl punk rock band L7 opened.
