Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters Live in Verdun, Montréal - Concert Performance Overview
In June 2003, when the Foo Fighters performed at the Salem Armory Auditorium, they were riding high on the wave of their album "One by One," which had been released just months earlier, in October 2002. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, as it showcased a more polished sound compared to their previous, grittier work. Interestingly, "One by One" was recorded in a rather tumultuous period for the band, including lineup changes and personal challenges, which added a depth and rawness to their live performances. The concert in Salem came at a time when they were finding their footing again, blending anthemic rock with heartfelt lyrics—just the kind of energy that fuels live recordings. Fans often reminisce about that tour, recalling how invigorating it was to witness their evolution on stage, and it’s clear that these live gigs helped solidify their reputation as one of the must-see rock acts of the early 2000s.
