Foo Fighters

In February 1998, when the Foo Fighters graced the Midtown Music Festival stage in Atlanta, they were just beginning to solidify their foothold in the rock scene. This was shortly after the release of their second studio album, *The Colour and the Shape*, which hit shelves in May 1997. That album marked a pivotal moment for the band, introducing fan favorites like "My Hero" and "Everlong" that would go on to be anthems of their career. Interestingly, this live recording captures the band on the brink of massive success, showcasing their energetic performances and Dave Grohl's magnetic stage presence. It’s fascinating to think about how, years later, they would fill arenas with fans passionately singing along to their songs. This particular performance also features “Monkey Wrench,” which is a testament to their growing maturity and complexity as songwriters—all while still delivering that raw, unfiltered rock energy audiences love.
