Foo Fighters

In June 1998, when the Foo Fighters delivered their lively performance of "Big Me" at Expo '98 in Lisbon, they were riding high on the success of their second studio album, *The Colour and the Shape*, which was released just a few months prior in May. This album not only solidified their place in rock but also showcased their evolution as a band, with iconic tracks like "Everlong" and "My Hero." What’s particularly interesting about this recording is that it captures a moment when the Foo Fighters were transitioning into a major arena act while still embodying that raw, infectious energy they were known for. The Lisbon crowd, undeniably enthusiastic, reflected the growing global appeal of Dave Grohl and his bandmates. Plus, this performance happened just as they were becoming recognized not just as a solid rock band, but as one that could truly connect with fans on an international scale.
