UPDATED AUG 3, 2018

Dave Grohl is probably one of the most ambitious artists out there today. As Foo Fighters wind down another leg of the massive Concrete and Gold tour with a doubleheader at Wrigley Field, Chicago that rocked more than 75,000 faithful fans, the multi-faceted frontman has announced a new two-part mini-documentary centered around his one-man recording of a 23-minute instrumental played live on seven instruments.

Simply titled 'Play', the project celebrates “the rewards and challenges of dedicating one's life to playing and mastering a musical instrument,” according to a press release. “Part one opens with narrated behind the scenes footage featuring discussion of the love of playing music and the lifelong relationship with an instrument, and detailing the process and challenges of recording and filming this unique performance.”
