Only just saw this viral video on Youtube recently. This is pretty insane and extremely awesome.
1000 Italian musicians play 'Learn to Fly' in an attempt to persuade Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters band to play in their city - Cesena, Italy (population: 97,131).
Fabio Zaffagnini devised the plan in May 2014 and launched a crowdfunding campaign later that year. In seven months, the campaign collected ?44,788 ($49,100). Organisers sorted through thousands of videos to determine who would make the final cut of 350 guitarists, 250 singers, 250 drummers and 150 bassists.
Grohl after viewing the video was very moved and committed to a trip to Italy, the day after a video of the performance in Cesena?s Hippodrome Park went viral (around 29 mill views at last count)
On November 3rd, the Foo?s rolled up to the city and performed a 27-song set for Rockin'1000 and around 3000 fans.
