On Saturday, Foo Fighters played a show in Mexico City and opened with a cover of AC/DC classic Let There Be Rock, paying tribute to guitarist Malcolm Young, who died earlier that day.

Performing in front of a backdrop image of Malcolm in his heyday, the band played the title-track from the Australian legends' fourth album. On Instagram, Foos frontman Dave Grohl shared his formative memories of seeing AC/DC live when he was 11 years old, writing, "It was the first time I lost control to music. The first time I wanted to be in a band. I didn’t want to play my guitar anymore, I wanted to smash it."
