I sort of forget how to tour. I turn into the bloke who just knows how to empty the washing machine and drive to the shops. Not the beloved entertainer. I find, if you start off by dressing up as the 'beloved entertainer,' it helps to bring it on.

In Los Angeles, Foo Fighters Threw Dave Grohl a Birthday Bash Unlike Any Other: Review + Photo Gallery

The last time Dave Grohl celebrated his birthday at a Los Angeles concert was 2015, and I was there for that one, too. The show was massive: surprise guests, spectacle, the whole deal. Last night at the Kia Forum felt deliberately smaller, if you can call anything in an 18,000-seat arena small. No overproduction, no novelty moments, no parade of spectacle. Just Foo Fighters in their element.
