Today was an unrealistic day! Waking up not knowing anything more than that Kari was going to work on “Skavlan“, a popular Swedish-Norwegian talk show, Kari arrived at SVT Studio 2 on a Thursday morning finding out that today they were going to get to meet Foo Fighters in person!
It was a long day of setting up with Foo Fighters’ technical crew, and the amount of gear they had was a bit insane (at least for a regular Swede)! Then followed the sound check, rehearsals and recording of the talk show with Foo Fighters’ live performance, which was to be aired the next day (Friday the 4th of March at 9pm on SVT1). And for Kari’s part as Assisting Audio Engineer – micing up Dave Grohl for the interview was surreal! Not to mention having a regular Swedish “fika” with the band backstage during the break. And after the show Dave took Kari to the upstairs dressing room and made sure everyone in the band signed their autographs.
Here’s the interview with Dave Grohl (in English, of course), and their new song “Rope” beginning at 10:21 into the video. (switch to 720p for best picture and sound):
