Foo Fighters — Wembley Stadium, London, 2008

Why this recording

The official Live at Wembley Stadium film, distributed by Sony Pictures, is not a record of a single night: the description states it was shot over the two sold-out dates of June 2008, and the edit merges them into a concert of almost two hours. It documents the five-piece line-up, Pat Smear included, with Taylor Hawkins on drums. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones join for “Rock and Roll” and “Ramble On” near the end, just before “Best of You”.

Full concert film of Foo Fighters at London’s Wembley Stadium, captured during the two landmark nights of 6 and 7 June 2008 in front of roughly 86,000 fans each evening. This live show stands as a peak of the American band’s world tour behind the album Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace. As the first band to headline the rebuilt Wembley Stadium, Dave Grohl and company delivered a set of more than two hours, alternating electric anthems with a stripped-down acoustic interlude staged in the middle of the stadium. The most talked-about moment came when Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the group on 7 June to perform ‘Rock and Roll’ and ‘Ramble On’. Released as the DVD Live at Wembley Stadium, this full concert showcases the stadium stature the Seattle-born band had reached and their gift for unifying, large-scale rock. Between raw energy, communion with the London crowd and a tribute to British hard-rock legends, the recording ranks among the most iconic live documents of 2000s rock and a milestone in the Foo Fighters’ career. It remains a definitive live statement from a band at its commercial and creative peak.
