Foo Fighters Live in Johannesburg at FNB Stadium - Dave Grohl Introduces the Band

Venue: FNB Stadium Location: Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa Date: December 13, 2014

On December 13, 2014, the Foo Fighters delivered an electrifying performance at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg, a pivotal moment in their vibrant career. Prior to this live recording, the band had just released their highly acclaimed album *Sonic Highways*, which hit the shelves in November 2014. This album is especially notable, not just for its music, but because each track pays homage to the rich musical history of an American city, with all eight songs recorded in different cities across the U.S. During the Johannesburg concert, frontman Dave Grohl, ever the charismatic leader, introduced the band with his signature blend of humor and genuine connection with the audience. Fun fact: Grohl famously broke his leg during a show just months earlier but insisted on finishing the concert, showcasing the band's relentless commitment to their fans. This performance truly exemplified their resilience and dedication, fully cementing their status as rock legends.
