A group of 1,000 musicians performed the Foo Fighters hit Learn To Fly in a bid to get Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters to come play a show in Cesena, Italy. The project started in September of last year and culminated with the performance/filming a few days ago. Here was the last blog post by the group from last week:

The crucial week: the Rockin’1000 team, after working together for a year through endless email exchanges, messages and Skype calls, rejoins finally in one place, Cesena.

All took holidays: the tension is high, we still miss a lot of permits, electricity is not sure, many musicians enroll last, others cancel. The volunteers call one by one all uncertain candidates, the video team arrives, the audio team meets, how to make all these people play? how to shoot them with the cameras?! What will come out?!

Well it looks like things worked out quite well. Watch the video below:
