Foo Fighters

On February 21, 2000, the Foo Fighters performed “Everlong” live on the David Letterman show, a significant moment in their career shortly after the release of their third studio album, "There Is Nothing Left to Lose" (1999). This album marked a pivotal point for the band, as it won a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance and solidified their presence in the alternative rock scene. By this time, the Foo Fighters had established a dedicated fan base, and their energetic performances further showcased Dave Grohl's evolution as a frontman, transitioning from drummer for Nirvana to a leading rock figure. The choice of "Everlong," a fan favorite, underscored the band's ability to craft emotionally resonant songs, while their appearance on a prominent platform like David Letterman helped elevate their mainstream visibility. This performance is remembered not only for its powerful delivery but also for its representation of the Foo Fighters at a critical juncture in their career.
