Foo Fighters singer/guitarist Dave Grohl was feeling a bit nostalgic when he joined his bandmates for an intimate concert at the Record Connection — an independent record store nestled in a nondescript shopping plaza in Niles, Ohio, which rests just down the road from his Warren hometown.
“We’re not far from my grandma’s house,” said Grohl, who is this year’s Record Store Day ambassador and organized the show for 150 or so lucky fans to mark the occasion. “It’s just up the road, actually.” Foo Fighters, which performed as a six-piece, cast a similar glance back in its hourlong set, drawing heavily from Songs From the Laundry Room, a collection of early demos the band released in coordination with Record Store Day.
