Last night, May 24, Foo Fighters played their first headline show since Taylor Hawkins‘ passing, and treated the audience at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, NH to live premieres of four songs from their upcoming But Here We Are album. 

Dave Grohl’s band kicked off an epic 21-song setlist with Rescued, the first single from their forthcoming 11th studio album, and played the new album’s title track as the sixth song on the set-list. Then, following an airing of 2007 single The Pretender, the band performed their current single, Under You, as the night’s eighth song. Later in the evening, another new song, Nothing At All was performed as song 14 of the show.

The gig was significant too for being drummer Josh Freese‘s first gig with the band. Best known for his work with The Vandals, Freese has also played with Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, A Perfect Circle and more.

Elsewhere, Dave Grohl‘s daughter Violet – who performed at the Taylor Hawkins tribute shows in London and Los Angeles – joined the band onstage for Shame Shame, and Cold Day In The Sun, a song originally sung by Taylor Hawkins, was fronted by Grohl.
