Foo Fighters

Ah, the Foo Fighters—the band that’s become a rock staple since their inception. By August 1998, when they played at Subterania in London, they were riding high on the success of their second album, *The Colour and the Shape*. Released just a few months prior, in May 1997, this album introduced fans to a more polished sound while retaining that raw, energetic edge they were known for. Tracks like “My Hero” and “Everlong” had already carved a place in rock history, giving the performance a palpable excitement. What’s particularly interesting about this live recording is how well it captures a band in the midst of carving their legacy, with Dave Grohl’s emotional intensity shining through. It’s no wonder many fans view this era as emblematic of the Foo Fighters’ passion and drive. Plus, it’s incredible to think this intimate gig would precede their journey into arenas and stadiums that would follow—just a snapshot of the passion that laid the groundwork for their future success!
