    During the live recording at Brixton in January 1995, the Foo Fighters were in the early stages of their career, having just released their self-titled debut album in July 1995. The album was notable for its energetic and raw sound, which resonated with audiences and helped establish the band as a significant force in the alternative rock scene. In fact, the band was primarily formed by Dave Grohl after his tenure with Nirvana, and this was one of their first international performances. The setlist for the concert includes several tracks from the album, showcasing the band's burgeoning catalog. Interestingly, this concert features William Goldsmith on drums, reflecting an early lineup before Taylor Hawkins officially joined the group, highlighting the transitional period in the band's history as they were solidifying their identity and sound.

    On March 4, 1995, the Foo Fighters performed live at the Velvet Elvis Arts Lounge in Seattle. This concert took place shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album, which came out in July 1995. The album showcased Dave Grohl's transition from the drummer of Nirvana to leading his own band, highlighting Grohl's ability to write and perform his own songs. Interestingly, the early Foo Fighters sound was characterized by a raw, grunge-influenced style, which would later evolve into a more polished rock sound. The Velvet Elvis performance is particularly notable as it captures the band in its infancy, just beginning to make a name for themselves in the post-Nirvana era. The existence of a video recording from this show had long been rumored, adding to the significance of this archival release for fans eager to witness the band's early live energy.
