In November 1999, when Foo Fighters performed "Generator" live on *Later With Jools Holland*, they were right in the thick of promoting their third studio album, *There Is Nothing Left to Lose*. Released just a month earlier, in October, this album marked a pivotal point in their career—it was the first recorded with their new lineup that included drummer Taylor Hawkins, who brought an electric energy to their sound. The album, infused with a blend of hard rock and a more melodic approach, showcased the band's growth and solidified their place in the rock scene. Interestingly, the performance itself reflected a moment of transition, not just in their sound but also in their rising prominence, with "Generator" becoming a staple in their live shows. The charisma of the band shone through, hinting at the superstars they were destined to become, capturing the hearts of both longtime fans and new listeners alike.
