Foo Fighters

Back in August 2003, when Foo Fighters rocked the stage at the Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium, they were riding high on their album "One by One," which had dropped just a few months earlier in October 2002. This album included some of their classic hits, like "All My Life"—which they opened with at the concert—and "Times Like These." It's fascinating to think about where they stood during this recording; the band was really pushing their sound into more anthemic territories, creating a blend of introspective lyrics with powerful, driving rock. This live performance captures that energy beautifully, showcasing their ability to connect with the audience. Plus, it was a time when they were solidifying their reputation as a must-see live act, following the massive success of their earlier work. The Pukkelpop gig is a snapshot of their momentum, marking them as a formidable force in the rock scene of the early 2000s.
