Foo Fighters

Back in February 2001, when Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters rocked out their cover of "Tiny Dancer" on *The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn*, they were riding high on the wave generated by their album *There Is Nothing Left to Lose.* Released in 1999, this album had solidified their place in the rock scene, boasting hits like “Learn to Fly” and “Breakout.” By the time of this live performance, the Foo Fighters were gaining traction as a band ready to transcend their early post-grunge roots, exploring new musical territories. Fun fact: Dave Grohl had just won a Grammy for *There Is Nothing Left to Lose*, underscoring the band's rising acclaim. Performing a beloved Elton John classic on national television not only showcased Grohl’s versatility but also highlighted the band's open-minded musical influences. This moment was truly a snapshot of a band at a pivotal point, blending their rock energy with heartfelt homage to legendary artists.
