Foo Fighters Live Performance of Hey, Johnny Park! at Lollapalooza Brazil

Venue: Lollapalooza Brasil Location: São Paulo, SP, Brazil Date: April 6, 2012

In April 2012, when Foo Fighters delivered their electrifying performance of "Hey, Johnny Park!" at Lollapalooza Brasil, they were riding high on the success of their seventh studio album, *Wasting Light*. Released the previous year, this album marked a pivotal point in their career, as it not only showcased their signature sound with a rawer edge but also earned them a Grammy for Best Rock Album. What’s particularly fascinating about this era is that *Wasting Light* was recorded entirely on analog tape, emphasizing the band’s commitment to authenticity in a digital world. During this vibrant live performance in São Paulo, the crowd's energy was palpable, and songs like "Hey, Johnny Park!"—a fan favorite from their 1997 album *The Colour and the Shape*—really solidified their status as rock icons. It’s moments like these that remind us of Foo Fighters' enduring appeal and their ability to connect deeply with fans across generations.
