Foo Fighters

On August 14, 1995, Foo Fighters made their network television debut on the "Late Show With David Letterman," performing "This Is A Call." At this point in their career, the band had just released their self-titled debut album in July 1995, which marked a significant transition for frontman Dave Grohl after his time in Nirvana. The performance not only introduced the band to a wider audience, but it also showcased their infectious energy and knack for catchy melodies. Interestingly, Grohl recorded the entire debut album mostly on his own, playing nearly all the instruments—a testament to his raw talent and commitment to music. This moment on Letterman was a pivotal stepping stone for Foo Fighters, paving the way for their explosive rise in the rock scene, and it was clear from the electric performance that they were just getting started in creating a legacy that still resonates today.
