"1000 musicians play Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters to ask Dave Grohl to come and play in Cesena, Italy. "
Nothing hits me in the feels more than seeing a mass of people doing anything together/in unison. Saw a video of a crowd changing signs in a stadium once and it was wild how coordinated everyone was. Like thousands of people.
Edit: ah damn I just thought about shit like war and genocides and etc… so correction, see mass of people do certain** things together is an amazing spectacle
Got me thinking about the video of the Swedish fans continuing singing our anthem at a hockey tournament when the music stops unexpectedly. Chills.

I was at a Bon Iver concert and he played The Wolves told everyone to sing “what might have been lost” with him, and it was like being on a drug. I was on a grassy hill overlooking a canyon in the background behind the stage, sun was setting, warm breeze, and the whole crowd was quiet and singing along like it was around a campfire but like 10,000 plus people.
Never have had that feeling again yet.
Found the concert

We've been doing singing festivals here in Estonia since 1869. Each and every one feels uniting and powerful to be a part of. Very proud of this tradition :)
Agreed, it's not something you see every day. Specifically because you don't really see more than one drummer playing together, let alone a whole crowd.
Of course, but this is different. There's no need for 100 drummers with full kits set up and drumming in unison, so this was really cool and unique to see
Yeah there is no way he wouldn't respond positively to this. It must be fucking awesome being Dave Grohl. He was already a legend 30+ years ago and has this superpower where he can make people feel awesome about themselves, and he uses it really well.
I BET he's friends with Keanu Reeves.
This was back in 2015. Foo Fighters invited the organizers to come meet them, then played in Cesena that same year.

I find it amazing on several levels. Not only is it off-the-charts wholesome and heartwarming, it is also extraordinarily well-executed. The musicians are incredibly in synch with one another. It sounds phenomenal. It’s one thing to have a big bold plan to bring 1,000 musicians together. It’s another thing to pull it off and make fantastic sounding music.
Thanks @AwTekker for pointing out the metronome lights.
GD, if I were the Foo Fighters, I could think of no greater honor, this would move me to tears. Imagine this many people getting together to play your song. Of course they would get a show.
I have a new appreciation for this song.
fun fact: this was done to make Foo fighters come and play in Cesena (the city where this happened) and they saw the video and decided to make a concert there inviting all the people that partecipated in the video.
after that the guy who decided to do this started gathering people and make concerts with a thousand musicians, i've been at one of them and it is incredible, one of the best concerts i've ever been
This is cooler than getting Foo fighters to play there.
I'm not even a hater, I love Food Fighters, but what I love more is unity across a widespread audience.
now I love this song so don't get me wrong, but for me, the version of Smells Like Teen Spirit they did is just another level!

Nothing hits me in the feels more than a bunch of people playing music together. Crowd vocals like this send chills down my spine
Same here dude and I'm not even a big music guy. It's like an instinctual reaction - it just feels wholesome and awesome and all the good things.
Before TV, music was how humans celebrated and got together for millennia.
You mean "before mass communication" which starred with film, then radio, then TV and now internet.

Very true. [This one](https://youtu.be/mHSaHRd4Q48?si=KJmcWnQU65FTP3To) always gets me. (Toronto fans finishing the American anthem when the mic dies)

Crying watching this so beautiful
I've never noticed the metronome lights before, that's really cool.
Thought the same thing. The green lights on the down beat is pretty clever.
I was wondering how they all stayed in sync.
Welcome to conductors and drum majors lol.
It looks like they did go. https://youtu.be/zT_KOremnQw?si=TWfz84oZDyPdRLwa
That was really cool. I loved seeing the drummers in perfect sync. I hope they sang the song for them after this
Agreed, it's not something you see every day. Specifically because you don't really see more than one drummer playing together, let alone a whole crowd.
Y'all never seen a drum line?
Of course, but this is different. There's no need for 100 drummers with full kits set up and drumming in unison, so this was really cool and unique to see
Someone posted above you they came and did a concert
Did foo fighters respond??
It’s Dave… nicest man in music. If they haven’t already they probably will
This is a few years old dawg.

Watch his Hot Ones video on YouTube. Dude is a legend!
They’d better!

I bet Dave loved this.
Sometimes humans do awesome things.

What’s his name? I would love to see one
Rockin'1000
This is infinitely cooler than the actual foo fighters playing the song
The best part is Foo Fighters probably agree
This….. is so wholesome
Amazing! 🤩 but the engineering in me is cringing at the serious lack of ear protection :-/
there's a lot of shit we could show aliens, but i think this should be up there in the top 10. we're amazing creatures sometimes
This is how I depict how world peace would look like. This is so awesome
Bad ass!
Unity is Grand
Hear, here! 🤙
Officially the coolest thing on Reddit
This is how you make a statement.
Lotta musicians for 1 town!
YOU ARE ALL LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!! THIS IS EPIC 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
This is cooler than getting Foo fighters to play there. I'm not even a hater, I love Food Fighters, but what I love more is unity across a widespread audience.
Now I want Food Fighters to be a thing 😛🍻
I'm not even gonna change it, I'll sit in my msitake lmfao
Incredible.
Cool beyond words!!!
Goosebumps 😊🤭
I still hear “this guy to save me”
Watched that video probably a dozen times a few years ago… Very cool
The cooler version of: "That One Time, At Band Camp"
I got chills watching this
Everyone loved this
Epic wholesome!
Times I have watched this video - multiple Times don't give me chills - 0 Music well done is one of the most beautiful forms of expression.
If I know dave, he’s on the next plane
So, did they?
NATO’s secret weapon
Hope the foos go.
This..this is what's all about🔥
As an audio tech... that would be hellish to setup and tear down
Cute !!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do Korn next!
Incredible. Dave are you listening!?
Didn’t think I’d be tearing up to a Foo Fighters song this morning. Humans weren’t meant to hate each other.
Unity... This is where we become together. 🇨🇦 🤙
Slappin da bass
I love everything about this. Just amazing
That was premium BADASS!! I hope Foo’s make it happen.
Really wanted to see them this summer but tickets were like $250 a pop
I saw Foo Fighters open for Red Hot Chili Peppers a long time ago, and the Foo Fighters were way better live
I have zero musical talent, but man would it be cool AF to participate in something like this
That's so awesome. Love to hear more!
Without the description I wouldn't be able to tell it was Italy. No one did the hands thing. 🤌🤌
Love how the organiser says "this video will be seen by a huge amount of people" -- [looks at view count] Boy, was he right! 65 million views!
Love these group concerts. Another of my favorites is a group drum jam session of the BBC News theme.
now I love this song so don't get me wrong, but for me, the version of Smells Like Teen Spirit they did is just another level! [https://youtu.be/Ul8vqaGGnY0?si=qt-rMymP\_H16YU1n](https://youtu.be/Ul8vqaGGnY0?si=qt-rMymP_H16YU1n)
The guitar section is full of Todds
That was AMAZING!!!
The irony if it didn't work lol I'm too scared to look it up
People can be great.
Not one black person lmao
I’d be the guy that everyone hated because I ruined the performance with my “shitty” guitar solo due to my lack of guitar playing abilities.
This is the kind of thing that starts to restore my faith in humanity!!
That’s literally the biggest drum sound I’ve ever heard
It blows my mind people are able to organize stuff like this
The only conformity that matters!
Can I meet the sound engineer who avoided the feedback nightmare this should’ve been?
I will never not upvote this.
[удалено]
There are probably 250 drummers alone.
It says 1000, not 1000's.
I know why - cuz you’re negative
That and... This isn't science-specific?
Science and cool things This is a cool thing
Exactly
Strange. It doesn’t appeal as much as it when it was created. Every face trying hard to look cool. Everyone. And the sound result is awful.
