Foo Fighters

Back in May 2000, when Foo Fighters took to the stage on "The Late Show with David Letterman," they were riding high on the waves of their third studio album, *There Is Nothing Left to Lose*. Released in 1999, this album marked a pivotal moment in the band's journey, showcasing a more melodic and polished sound that resonated with both fans and critics. It was during this period that the band really started to find their groove, winning a Grammy for Best Hard Rock Performance for “Learn to Fly.” Performing "Breakout" live on a high-profile show like Letterman was a huge deal—it symbolized their rising star status in the leading edge of rock music. It's worth noting that the performance captured the raw energy and tight musicianship that Foo Fighters are known for, a welcoming embrace of both charm and grunge that’s become their signature. It's no wonder this performance remains a beloved piece of their legacy!
