Live at Wembley Stadium DVD

22nd August 2008

Two Nights, 165,000 Fans, One DVD

165,000 tickets sold, more than four hours of music, and one encore with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin later, Foo Fighters have now immortalized for posterity their biggest ever headline stand: FOO FIGHTERS: LIVE AT WEMBLEY STADIUM, an 18-song DVD documenting their two sold out Wembley Stadium shows. It's released on Monday 25th August.

The Wembley concerts, which took place Friday and Saturday June 6 and 7 of this year, sold out within 24 hours, making them the biggest headline performances of the band's illustrious career - as well as the biggest rock shows staged at the new Wembley to date.

Foo Fighters: Live At Wembley Stadium is a career-spanning live opus, drawing on all six of Foo Fighters' studio albums and includes night two's historic encore, for which Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin joined Grohl and Hawkins for renditions of "Rock and Roll" (with Hawkins on vocals and Grohl on drums) and "Ramble On" (with Grohl on vocals and Hawkins on drums).

Like the Wembley weekend, the DVD concludes with a triumphant and highly emotional "Best Of You" with a closing chorus of 85,000 fans leaving Grohl visibly moved.

Early on in the evening's festivities, Grohl asked the crowd "How did this band get so f***ing big?" By the close of the weekend, 165,000 people knew the answer.
