Wembley Stadium, London, UK, July 7th, 2007

The Foo Fighters were the penultimate act at Wembley, and they were dynamic from the start, with Dave Grohl prowling the stage, smiling and masticating, as the thunderous, opening chords of 'All My Life' were the prelude to an aural explosion! Their second song, 'My Hero', got the crowd singing along, with Grohl cockily walking down the neck of the stage eyeing the crowd, and slowing things down with his guitar, before a big finish, which included Grohl going for a little run. He then dedicated the third song of the Foo Fighters set to Al Gore, 'Times Like These'. A more poppy song than the previous two, which at the end Grohl says: "What do you think?! Shall we just play all night?!"

Before 'Best Of You', the cameras show a touching shot of Dave Grohl's wife Jordyn Blum holding their baby Violet Maye, with her headphones on. Grohl dedicates this song to "you know who", which the crowd really get into. Dave goes for a stroll on the neck of the stage, swigging from a plastic bottle before delightfully spitting some of the contents out, and going gently into the final song, 'Everlong', before its dramatic ending. Grohl then screams: "Remember why we're here!" The quartet of Grohl, drummer Taylor Hawkins, bassist Nate Mendel, and lead guitarist Chris Shiflett then depart after a powerful set.
