The Madison Street Plaza in Decatur was rocking again Thursday night, this time with the rockin’ hits of the Foo Fighters, via Back & Forth Foo Fighters, a tribute band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was the seventh of 13 Thursday night concerts in the Decatur Chamber’s seventh annual Summer Concert Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The began with a poignant, quiet tribute to the late Dale Manis, a huge fan of the Foo Fighters who passed away last January at the age of 55.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manis was a popular figure in the community, Chamber Executive Director Craig Coshow told concert-goers, then held a moment of silence for the longtime educator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Back & Forth band \u2013 the name comes a documentary film about the Foo Fighters \u2013 performed top Foo hits like \u201cBest of You\u201d, \u201cWalk\u201d, and \u201cWhite Limo\u201d, plus some of the hits of Joe Walsh, KISS, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The five-man tribute band, based in northeast Ohio and formed in 2019, was making its first appearance in Decatur. Next Friday and Saturday it will be performing in Pittsburgh and Syracuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By the way, the name \u201cFoo Fighters\u201d comes from a World War II term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the context of World War II, a “Foo Fighter” was a term used by Allied pilots to describe unidentified aerial phenomena, often glowing or luminous objects, that were seen during combat missions. These objects were typically described as being fast-moving, maneuverable, and sometimes appearing in formations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The term was adopted as the band’s name by founder Dave Grohl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foo Fighters are in the Rock ‘N Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
