The band’s show at the 600-capacity Canyon Club in Agoura Hills, California, was attended by fully vaccinated fans and served as a precursor to the Foos’ upcoming headline show at Madison Square Garden in New York this weekend.

At the show, Dave Grohl and co. played a 23-song setlist, beginning with “Times Like These” and closing with “Everlong“. In between, they gave a live debut to the title track from their latest album Medicine At Midnight and covered Queen’s “Somebody To Love“.

Foo Fighters played:

• “Times Like These”
• “No Son of Mine”
• “The Pretender”
• “Learn to Fly”
• “Run”
• “The Sky Is a Neighborhood”
• “Shame Shame”
• “Rope”
• “My Hero”
• “These Days”
• “Medicine at Midnight”
• “Walk”
• “Somebody to Love” (Queen cover)
• “All My Life”
• “Arlandria”
• “Cloudspotter”
• “Breakout”
• “Skin and Bones”
• “This Is a Call”
• “Aurora”
• “Best of You”
• “Making a Fire”
• “Everlong”

Outside the show, a handful of protesters gathered to show their anger at the gig’s door policy of all ticketholders needing to be fully vaccinated.

It came after anti-vaccine fans of the band recently renounced Foo Fighters over the entry policy to their Madison Square Garden gig. “Foo Fighters, a band I’ve long admired, just held a concert for the jabbed only,” tweeted one fan. “That’s every album & playlist with them on, consigned to the bin.”
