Foo Fighters
I saw them years ago at Summerfest in Wisconsin. They killed. Grohl is a drummer and a rocker with what appears to be a fine appreciation for good, loud music. He makes good, loud music as a result. Not whole albums of winners, mind you, but some of the songs are good enough to make up for that. I thought they sounded a little less ferocious without Pat Smear (he left the band a few albums ago) but he was back for this appearance on SNL. Limited guitar work but I contend he adds a lot to the equation. I'd try to see them live again if I knew he'd be with them.

I think I saw their first Chicago show at Metro in 1984 or something. It was pretty rocking.
You might be thinking about 1994. I'm pretty sure Nirvana hadn't taken off in 1984. (Or maybe you're thinking of Metallica...)
1989 (or 1990) Nirvana played the Metro on the Bleach tour...and tour might not be the right word for it.
Our friend Jerry had a bootleg of the show on VHS and I always believe the dates written on the side of those things.
My evidence that the show was pre rather than post Nevermind? You could clearly hear some drunk guy yelling out "Floyd the Barber!"
Pretty sure they weren't yelling for that one after Sept 1991.
Good times.
