In June 2008, at the peak of the Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace Tour, Foo Fighters—the California rock band whose album The Colour and the Shape (1997), with over 5 million copies sold, defined post-grunge—performed at London's Wembley Stadium, the legendary arena opened in 1923 and rebuilt in 2007 as a symbol of British rock with 90,000 capacity. The 90-minute set, captured for the DVD Live at Wembley Stadium, embodied tour climax, where Pat Smear's guitar riffs merged with Taylor Hawkins' drum power to spark euphoria among 86,000 under summer skies. With guests like Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on "Rock and Roll," this show highlighted their veteran status, turning the stadium into a realm of collective triumph.
