Josh took to Instagram writing the following of the moment and including a video clip of the moment. Josh writes:

Middle section of ‘Breakout’ on my 3rd Foo Fighters show about a month ago Columbus, Ohio. Out of nowhere, I decided to reference the NIN song “You Know What You Are” that I used to play every night on tour, but Dave recorded it on the record.

“I love when he hears it and lights up. At the end, you can see me making sure he caught it. Yes, he caught it. Duh.
