In July 1998, when Foo Fighters performed at Edgefest in Vancouver, they were riding high on the success of their second studio album, "The Colour and the Shape," which had been released in May of that year. This album marked a significant turning point for the band, showcasing their evolving sound and the writing contributions of guitarist Chris Shiflett. With hit singles like "Monkey Wrench" and "Everlong," which would become iconic in their repertoire, the band was solidifying their place in the rock scene. Interestingly, during this live performance, the surprise appearance of Tré Cool from Green Day, who joined the band onstage with a cart of ice cream, added a playful and memorable element to the show, highlighting the camaraderie and sense of fun within the rock community at that time. This concert exemplified the energy and enthusiasm that characterized the band's live performances during this period in their career.
