Foo Fighters

In May 2015, when the Foo Fighters performed "Monkey Wrench" live at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend in Norwich, they were riding the wave of their 2014 album, *Sonic Highways*. This record was a fascinating experiment, capturing the essence of American music through eight different cities, with each track reflecting the unique sound of the place it was recorded. It was an ambitious project that showcased their growth as both musicians and storytellers. Performing at such a vibrant festival amplified their connection with fans, especially since *Sonic Highways* had just sparked a new wave of energy within the band. Interestingly, this live performance would be one of their last before a brief hiatus due to Dave Grohl's injury later that year, making it a nostalgic moment for audiences who cherished their raw, electrifying stage presence. Who knew an injury could change the way fans would remember this iconic performance?
