Watch: Foo Fighters Debut Lengthy New Song ‘The Teacher’ Live

Foo Fighters recently performed their lengthy new song, “The Teacher”, live for the first time.

The 10-minute song, which is believed to be inspired by Dave Grohl’s mother Virginia, who passed away last year, was debuted at the band’s Arkansas show last week.

You can watch the full performance below. “The Teacher” features on Foo Fighters’ new album But Here We Are, the band’s first album since the death of their longtime drummer, Taylor Hawkins, one year ago. The album has been receiving some of the band’s strongest reviews in years.

Australian and New Zealand Foo Fighters fans will get to hear them play “The Teacher” and many more anthems when they bring their world tour to the two countries later this year.

Last here for a headline tour in 2018, the beloved rock band will perform in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane between November and December, followed by shows in Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington in January of next year. After experiencing overwhelming demand for tickets, a second and final Melbourne show was added on Wednesday, December 6th (see full dates below).
