Foo Fighters Live Performance of Low and Monkey Wrench at Pukkelpop

Venue: Domein Kiewit Location: Hasselt, Limburg, Belgium Date: August 29, 2003

Back in 2003, when the Foo Fighters took the stage at the Pukkelpop Festival, they were in the midst of a transformative period in their career. This live recording, specifically highlighting their electrifying performances of "Low" and "Monkey Wrench," came just after the release of their album "One by One," which hit the shelves in late 2002. This record, characterized by its mix of grunge vigor and polished production, marked a significant moment for the band, showing their resilience and creativity following a tumultuous time that included a brief break. Performing at Pukkelpop, the Foo Fighters showcased their incredible live energy, inviting fans not just to hear the music but to feel it. It's fascinating to think about how the band's chemistry evolved during this period, shaping their reputation as one of the hardest-working bands in rock. Plus, it was a fantastic gathering place for diverse acts, turning it into a melting pot of sounds and styles that reflected the early 2000s music scene. That festival vibe? It’s something special—and the Foo Fighters certainly knew how to harness it.
