It’s hard to believe but the Foo Fighters are turning 25 years old this year. And although they are still kicking ass around the world, it’s nice to remember them as they were in the beginning, before they became one of the biggest rock bands on earth.
An opportunity for this has risen just now with the resurfacing of the earliest-known live footage of the band, performing in Seattle in 1995. The band is shown performing at the Velvet Elvis Arts Lounge Theater on March 4th. The caption beneath the video on the FooFightersLive account explains that “it was believed among fans that a video existed, but it had never surfaced until now.”
The caption continues to clarify that “The original video had no audio due to a technical error so an also new secondary audio source has been dubbed over the video. Owing to time constraints making this 25th anniversary date the sync is not perfect, but it’s pretty close. Credits for the video and audio recording go to Travis Stanley and Ryan Fox respectively, whilst transferring and editing was carried out by Nick Serra, Rob Landis and FooFightersLive.com.”
