Foo Fighters Concert at Walker Air Force Base Performing 'Learn to Fly'

Venue: Walker Air Force Base Location: Roswell, New Mexico, United States Date: June 18, 2005

In June 2005, the Foo Fighters were riding high on the success of their double album, *In Your Honor*, which had been released just days earlier on June 14, 2005. This album showcased a bold evolution in their sound, featuring a mix of heavy rock tracks and more introspective acoustic songs—a blend that offered fans a little something for everyone. The live recording at Walker Air Force Base in Roswell captures a pivotal moment in their career, as the band was embracing a richer, more dynamic approach to their music. Interestingly, this performance also coincided with Dave Grohl’s well-known roots in rock 'n' roll, elevating the band's already powerful presence. It wasn’t just about the music; they were making a statement, symbolizing a blend of military history and rock culture, not to mention the absolute thrill of performing in a place steeped in UFO lore!
