The Foo Fighters didn’t just bring their iconic rock sound to Saturday Night Live but also a playful tribute to a cinematic classic. With Halloween vibes in the air at Studio 8H, the band sported costumes from the timeless 1939 movie, “The Wizard of Oz”.
Ahead of their anticipated SNL musical act, a quick teaser showcased the band’s twist on the beloved characters. The group even treated fans to a snippet of their ensemble on Instagram: Dave Grohl stepped into Dorothy’s ruby slippers, Chris Shiflett shone as Tin Man, Nate Mendel embraced the Cowardly Lion, with Pat Smear as the Wizard, Josh Freese personifying the Scarecrow, and Rami Jaffee dazzling as Glinda.
Their Instagram teaser spiritedly declared, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday night!”
The Nate Bargatze-hosted SNL episode witnessed Foo Fighters electrify the audience with their tracks “Rescued” and “The Glass,” the latter featuring the soulful H.E.R. These songs herald from their latest album, “But Here We Are”. Fans might’ve been slightly disappointed not to see the band perform in their ‘Oz’ get-ups, but Dave Grohl made up for it. Grohl showcased his comedic flair, popping up in sketches that included an unexpected childbirth scene on a plane and a quirky musical bit as a corn hole champion.
