Foo Fighters cover Tom Sawyer, bring fan onstage to sing

The Foo Fighters' are known for performing cover songs during their live shows, and one of their regulars is Rush's Tom Sawyer. Last night they played a show at the State Farm Center in Champaign, IL and covered the song, bringing fan Michael Carpenter onstage to sing vocals. Carpenter scored points for effort, but messed up a good portion of the lyrics. You can watch some bootleg video of the performance on YouTube here. This is not the first time the Foos have brought a fan up onstage to sing Tom Sawyer. Back in August of 2015 at a Foos show in Edmonton, they let a fan named Brian front the band as seen in this post. Thanks to Alternative Nation for the news.
