Foo Fighters

Ah, Lisbon in '98! What a vibrant time for the Foo Fighters! By June 22, 1998, when they graced the stage at Praça Sony, the band was riding high on the wave of their third studio album, "There Is Nothing Left to Lose," which had dropped a few months earlier, in November 1999. It was a pivotal moment for them, following the somewhat darker tones of "The Colour and the Shape." You could say they were hitting their stride, blending infectious energy with expanded musical exploration. This live show captures a band truly coming into their own. Songs like "My Hero" and "Everlong" were already crowd-pleasers, and it’s fascinating to think how they would later become anthems of resilience and hope. The intimacy of the setlist is palpable, drawing the audience in while also showcasing Dave Grohl's magnetic stage presence. He wasn't just a frontman—he was a firebrand, channeling raw emotion and connection with fans through each riff. It's no wonder this performance remains iconic!
