 @90431d67 it was the Foo Fighters. They were playing for Dreamforce. 

It was great. 
 @03259163 @90431d67 Never listening to them again now 
 @67ff5389 @03259163 See, my guess was Foo Fighters, but I looked up their tour dates and couldn’t find anything for the 13th. Playing at the Salesforce conference is why.

I’ve seen Skrillix play twice, both times at re:Invent, and it’s partly why I enjoyed re:Invent so much. Playing at conferences can be a pretty good gig. 
 @90431d67 @67ff5389 Yeah, Foo Fighters have actually played like 3 Dreamforces. I suspect the fee is well worth it. 
 @90431d67 @03259163 I am disappointed that an artist of that calibre took the easiest payday possible. 
 @67ff5389 @03259163 He didn’t phone it in, though. He pulled out all the stops and deepened all the drops. 
 @90431d67 @67ff5389 The Foo Fighters didn’t pull anything either, they did great. 

The Chili Peppers played last year and from everyone I knew that went they said that was a totally phoned in performance.
