Foo Fighters

In the vibrant spring of 1998, the Foo Fighters were cruising on the momentum from their second studio album, “The Colour and the Shape,” which had been released the previous year. This album, with hits like “Everlong” and “My Hero,” really cemented the band's reputation as rock powerhouses. When they played “Damn You, Damn Everyone” at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel, it was a rare gem; this song had only ever been performed live once! Can you imagine being in that crowd, experiencing a unique moment that would never happen again? It speaks to the band’s adventurous spirit in those early years, stepping outside the box and showcasing their less mainstream tracks. As they were still finding their footing, every live performance—like this one—was a crucial piece in building their legacy, setting the stage for the massive stadium-fillers they would become. It’s a snapshot of a band in its bold, exploratory phase, eager to connect with fans.
