The Foo Fighters freshened things up by digging into the past with several classic rock covers Friday night (Sept. 21) during their headlining set at Atlanta s Music Midtown festival. The event also gave them the opportunity to reprise their frequent cover of Bad Reputation show virtual tours of new homes around lima ohio with the song s originator, Joan Jett , who had played earlier in the day.
The fans were treated to a healthy dose of the band s Wasting Light album early on, with White Limo, Rope, Arlandria, These Days, and Walk among the first nine tracks of the night. But after that and such well placed hits as All My Life, The Pretender, My Hero, and Learn to Fly, the band mixed things up with their first cover of the night Van Halen s Everybody Wants You.

The last two covers of the night also leaned to the classic rock side, with Dave Grohl leading the band through the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers classic Breakdown first. With its moody beat, the Petty classic allowed the Foo Fighters a bit of a breather from their adrenaline fueled set.
