Did you hear that, Perth?
That was the sound of 30,000 Foo Fighters fans belting out My Hero at NIB Stadium on Saturday night.
Dave Grohl and Co were back in town to open the Australian leg of their Concrete and Gold tour.
And they came to rock.
"Are you f--king ready?" Grohl asks the crowd before launching into Run off the super-group's ninth and latest album.
All My Life followed, with punters - and the band - hitting their stride by the time Learn To Fly threatened venue-wide hysteria.
Grohl, who feeds off fans' fevered elation, promised to give the show "everything we can until they kick us the f--k out of here".
He and his fellow Foo Fighters delivered.
Two and a half hours of blistering stadium rock ensued, with anthems Monkey Wrench and This Is A Call proving Grohl and Co are the very best at what they do.

There were few surprises, but more than 20 years after the Seattle grunge scene first burst onto our airwaves, we're not always after innovative or experimental.
We're all older now. Sometimes the punters want what they know. Nothing more, nothing less.
The one thing the Foo Fighters can be counted on delivering is a blistering set, and These Days and Best Of You showed the scream heard around the world - or at least in inner-city Perth last night - shows no signs of weariness.
A farewell from the band just after 10pm was ignored. We weren't going anywhere.
Backstage negotiations between Grohl and the crowd got the band back for a promised four more songs, which turned into five and provided the truly transcendental moments of the night.
Ballad of the Beaconsfield Miners saw Grohl solo, describing his meeting with Beaconsfield survivor Brant Webb.
"I wrote this for him, then I got f--king hammered with him."
The turn for the reflective gained poignancy with Grohl's inspiring version of Blackbird flooring many.
A gorgeous moment in an evening filled with loud and fast rock, the solo section did nothing to dispel the rumours the charismatic frontman is the Nicest Guy in Rock and Roll.
There's no doubt the Foo Fighters can draw a crowd and hold them in their palm for hours.
But by 10.30pm it was over. We were spent.
"It's a long trip [to Australia]," Grohl says by way of goodbye. "But it's always worth it."
"I don't know when we'll be back here.
"One of these days."
The Foo Fighters will play Coopers Stadium in Adelaide on Tuesday night, with dates in Sydney and Melbourne to follow.
