- After 25 years we at FooFightersLive.com are proud to present to you this long rumoured video!
Foo Fighters performed at the Velvet Elvis Arts Lounge Theater on March 4th 1995, and soon after it was believed among fans that a video existed, but it had never surfaced. Until now. The original video had no audio due to a technical error so an also new secondary audio source has been dubbed over the video. Owing to time constraints making this 25th anniversary date the sync is not perfect, but it's pretty close.
Credits for the video and audio recording go to Travis Stanley and Ryan Fox respectively, whilst transferring and editing was carried out by Nick Serra, Rob Landis and FooFightersLive.com
Please enjoy this crazy early Foo Fighters video (fourth ever show!) and please share freely with other fans. If you do re-share the video, we only ask that the credits remain.

Thank god floaty is here. So fucking rare
This is Best Versión I've heard of Winnebago
ayeee same pfp
Was that guitar tuning a few notes of Dive right before Alone + Easy Target?
Brilliant song.. always makes me remember Nirvana dayz
Dave looks like a little kid in his first band starting out, but he had already been to highest heights of rock stardom.
I have so much respect for him picking himself up off the mat and starting all over again.
Picking himself up? He never once stopped writing or recording after Kurt Cobain died, it's well documented. The album was released in 1995, and Dave was writing and recording throughout 1994. The whole "boo hoo, I didn't know if I'd ever write music again" is a complete and utter lie that he used to garner sympathy and launch FF.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the first FF album, and even a few songs off the second, but Dave hasn't written a good song since then. It's just more soulless corporate rock. Then you have Dave saying "don't come to my shows unless you take the jab"...yeah Dave, very punk rock of you to tell people how to live their lives. Ever since then I just see him as a total joke...whereas I used to see him as a sort of musical role model.
@@nickhartman6372 Oh I see. There’s some weird bullshit conservative undercurrent that just negated your whole thesis.
He never said he didn't know if he'd ever write music again. He's the first to say he wrote these songs during the Nirvana days. He said he didn't know if he'd continue to pursue music as a career.@@nickhartman6372
@@patton303“Hurdur you're a conservatard!”
No, it's simply that people don't like being told to put experimental medicines in their bodies not knowing of the consequences.
@@patton303 I was like where is he going with this? Or even why the anger towards the first comment in the first place then the ending came up haha
Early Foo's were just magic.
Yup...Nirvana and Sunny Day Real Estate...
3:48
the famous microphone shock in the mouth
I. Fucking. HATE. that feeling. First time it happened to me I swear I saw everything in negative for a microsecond. Wrapped a sock around the mic and continued the show. After that I learned how to properly ground my mic 😂
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to whoever preserved and capsulated this. It's one of the only artifacts I've been able to find of my life in Seattle that I could share with people I care about. There I am, standing on stage behind Pat Smear's amp bopping my head, wearing the same type of glasses and hat I still wear today.
Awesome story. You're so lucky!
Awesome! Great seats lol
Nice
Just saw you haha sweet! 🤘🏽
Nice!!! How were able to stand there? I know it’s a small place and the Foos were just starting but still.
Floaty is the most underrated song in Foo Fighters history.
What a STUNNING song!
Thiago Fiorotti Yessss!! Im hoping for a live version this Anniversary tour!
The atmosphere of it... brings me back 20 years
Thiago Fiorotti Halo is too
@@camacaron06 You´re right, man! i fuckin' LOVE Halo too.
it sounds kinda like the band Hum. great tune.
Early Dave was clearly shy and rough in the vocals. He's come along way
I always wondered what it would be like playing with a plaid shirt guy standing 2 feet away, and staring you in the face...
Omg you're freaking right. Creeper.
WHERE'S WALDO? THERE'S WALDO.
i’ve done it. it’s weird.
@@Cauldronofbats666 as long as you were getting properly compensated for your time good brother.
What axe do you play?
Thing is plaid shirt guy has been telling people for 25 years that he once stood 2 feet from Dave Grohl before the Foos were big. No one believed him...until now.
Best foo fighters era...
Food fighters
U mam b a ho
Cheers William, you're a solid drummer, respect
He killed it on diary. Very interesting style
Dave didn’t think he was good enough, apparently.
Solid? He's really good...Dave is just...ah you know lol
@@startervisions Dave?
@@mrdrh99 huh?
This OG lineup was fantastic. Love these songs, especially Alone + Easy Target and Exhausted. It's incredible to see how shy Dave Grohl is onstage.
Completely agree. When the band used to have some low end!
I think it’s also the fact that he was just the guy in back just a year prior to this, he wasn’t used to being front and center.
These songs would go to Nirvana's 5th album, then Dave took the songs and re-recorded, until today nobody finds these songs in Kurt's version, Dave kept them at his house.
@@bitter4567 4th?
@@bitter4567 There are no songs in Kurt's version.
I think i read somewhere, that krist was at this show, pretty cool
That main riff in Exhausted is the best.. always felt like something you’d hear off Bleach
From my POV last two songs are almost epitaph to Nirvana, you can almost feel its spirit.
I was never big FF fan (in comparison to eg. Nirvana at times)
But for some time I just listen to Nirvana again and I have found this first FF record.
What can I say: hats off...
Edit: not last two, actually I had Alone + Easy Target and Exhausted in mind
Can you imagine going to this show in 95. These guys were already legends in their own right and havent even released a record yet.
They were a kind of indie supergroup. Nirvana + Sunny Day Real State + The Germs
I was at their show in NYC on their first tour in 1995. It was just like this. I'll never forget it. I was drunk and out of my mind !!
Damn… Nate's bass tone is REALLY on point here.
Dave is really remarkable for being able to bounce back so well. He deserves it all
That Exhausted riff got me the first time around and that never changed.
Such a great performance. Brilliant quality. I love those old FF-concerts. The good old stuff. First album is the best imho.
Netsrak Ztallep I agree.
100%
Totally agree! The best Dave's work by far.
this and wasting light
Agree the energy has never been the same
Saw them a month later , opening for Mike Watt ...on their very first tour. THIS is the Foo Fighters I still love
This is rad footage, it also helps highlight why William was not quite cut out for 'professional band' level, but love to him none the less, would've loved to have seen these shows back in the day.
Wow! The show that ended up being used as pictures in the 1st Foo album!!
What the hell this footage is fantastic. I've never heard Butterflies before and I absolutely love it. Material like this is what makes me get into bands! There's just something about high quality audience bootlegs that I love.
You should try and get Pocketwatch.
You should try and get Pocketwatch.
Exhausted just might be their greatest song.
You can clearly hear the Seattle scene influence in their performance. Definitely not a bad thing.
Gosh, this was March 95 and the band still sounded somewhat rough. I would see them just six months later in Italy and they sounded like they had been together since the dawn of time, like, super tight.
Will someone tell Dave that Pat needs to sing harmonies again for this upcoming tour please! Sorry Shifty, just to celebrate the 25th anniversary! LOL
True. Pat Smear is a legend!
2:58 Barret Jones
Wow, regular version of Floaty. That's something rare.
Hard to comprehend the lack of energy of this crowd...love to the Foo Fighters Family ...RIP Taylor!
I’m at work, but later I’m gonna watch this again, drink pisco and cry tears of happiness. Man ain’t this the best band ever.
Cheers William, you're a solid drummer, respect
Everybody liked this
Floaty is the most underrated song in Foo Fighters history.
What a STUNNING song!
4:22 : dave: how's sound, 't's everything alright? ...."more" what?
audience: vocals!
dave: eehhmhhhdunno.. you don't want that.
Holy shit, Foo Fighters’ FOURTH show ever
Oh, look, it's the Food Fighters! ❤ And Dave is wearing a Wool shirt 😊
Now THAT'S the Foo Fighters I love!
WOW, amazing... I was at this show. I worked as the sound engineer at the VE in the 90's Had no idea that there was a video.

Truth and also butterflies
that shit riiiiips
I’ll stick around gets the best cheer and rightly so. Probably the best on the set. This is so great to watch. Thanks to all involved in getting it to the tube !
More likely it was the first single and might be the only song people knew
Tama Drummer This gig is before anything was officially released. The first single was This Is A Call in June 95, The album was released in July and I’ll Stick Around was the 2nd single in September. Suppose there’s a Chance there might have been air play though.
Exhausted is definitly one of the best of this albums and accely one of the most underrated songs of the Foo, Exhaustedwas the last track on the record and the last song of every show at that time for a reason... Floaty is another very underrated song, for me maybe the most underrated song of the Foo ever
Nah bro winnebago and podunk
@@mskates9805 they are my favourite tracks! My original comment here was about the performance, I think I’ll stick around was the tightest and most energised! IMO of course
Butterflies!! I saw them about a year after this in Salem Oregon with Mike Watt and Ween....first rock concert experience
That's a helluva lineup for your first show.
Man it was great to be a kid back then, I was in the or a Nirvana fanclub, you'd literally get letters sent to your house back before the internet, I can't believe what Dave went on to do after Nirvana none of it was guaranteed but as Pat said especially after Everlong there were no doubts. Saw them live on the color and the shap tour, but the first album will always be my fave... and the track? Exhausted. heavy, melodic and quite moving. Loads of riffs only a drummer could create on guitar - really great stuff
These Food Fighter guys sound pretty good. I think they might make it big someday.
I don't think they'll make it big. Their singer/lead guitarist looks pretty shy, so unless his personality and stage presence change drastically, (which... come on, that won't happen) they'll probably keep playing small shows.
@@featheryfemme yea boy
I love that this video exists. Thank you so much.
Seattle music scene in the 90s was WHERE it was happening, DC Jam July 4th will be something to see.
8:45 Dave decided to fire the drummer...
Bernardo Izquierdo he didn’t fire him. And his name is William.
It’s a joke
He just said to him than he is not prepared to play in the album (The Colour and The Shape) They was making the album and Dave
thought it didn't sound good and then he recorded the drums again, he only left William on "Wind Up" I think, it's the only song on the album that you can hear William, but Dave said he wanted it to continue, obviously William didn't accept and he never forgive him for that. Dave was wrong, he should have told him the truth at the beggining, at the time William knew about this, Dave already make the entire album again with the other guys. I still miss goldsmith on the drums, even though hawkins is probably a much better drummer, i think william was ideal for the foos, even more than hawkins
@@felarcade887 I totally agree !! I would have really liked to know what would have become the band today if William had continued the adventure with The Foos.
@@victorm.8122 My favorites albums was the first 2 albums, and is Dave on the drums! William have that power i think, Taylor maybe not so much
I gotta say, props for whoever put this up. Amazing. But dang! How big was that camera in 1995 that you couldn’t hold it straight!??
Amazing stuff! This video is an absolute gem! I just love the early Foo Fighters.
...and just think about this show being played only 11 months after Kurts suicide...
Gets me in the mood for a great upcoming concert in May! It's awesome turning back the clock to the early days of FF's.
Dave Bohn where are you seeing them? I’m seeing them in April Albuquerque New Mexico!!!!!!! Can’t wait!!!
Man...yeah Dave was definitely hard on William, really love his performance on "Floaty". He's replicating one of the greatest drummers of all time playing his first solo record (and almost all the instruments). More than capable! RIP Taylor, the only one that could top Dave
There is just something about early Foo Fighters.
Thanks for protecting us from all the foos, Foo Fighters!
Thanks a lot ❤️🤘
This is a treasure! Thank you
The Sound is Amazing, I love the vibe and energy their first songs have
This is absolute gold.
Absolute Grohl
Thank you for this! Very very cool, valuable piece of Foo History!
Podunk sounds alot like a Nirvana tune to me & how about that guitar solo at 31:43,,has to be a proud Dave moment in history
LOL YIKES!
Thank you soooo much, this is pure gold !!!! 👏🏻

WOW! Amazing! Thank you for uploading this :)
This is awesome! Muchas gracias desde Argentina 🙌🏼

That is raw! 👊👍
This is a national treasure! Thanks for posting. Love seeing the origins of a huge band
Great video. Thanks for sharing. Foo fighters 2021...
Little babies 🥰 Thankyou for this upload !
Awesome show
Oh man! fucking nice quality!
Thanks FF
Pure awesomeness!!!
Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you for sharing this!!
I'm one of those who bought the debut album as soon as it came out, and have followed FF since that time...
I don't think I'll understand why some of the best tracks from this time were not on the album...
I have never heard 'Butterflies'! (thanks Animated Antarctica for that!).
Thank you!
Thank you for this!! Amazing! I was 2 1/2 at this time. Would’ve loved to have been able to see the band in this era. But the magic of UA-cam and generous people who share videos like these brings me much joy. Band sounds amazing here.
geweldig !Great to hear this old clip and see the Foo's so young ....their 4th show ...wow so cool...Happy 25th Anniversary Foo Fighters
Damn good concert and quality. Foo Fighters are gold!
cara... bicho... O áudio tá muito "conservado" ...muito bom!! Amazing video!!
Floaty is just fantastic! Thanks for posting this gem
A estas alturas, es lo mejor que he visto increible performance de los FOO, por favor, increíble y gracias por compartirlo 👍🏻
You guys are simply amazing. I wish I could afford to see you. You know Each song carries a different memory about a person, place, or time. Your music is ingrained into my life and burned into my brain. It got me through good times and bad. I don't know what time is left, no one does, but I can only pray and hope to one day watch you in concert.
I had to save this to my UA-cam favorites. Too cool.
I love this arrangement of floaty soo fkn much
god damn this is clean!
O my god this is ro rude, true and beautiful. Thank you Foos.
they are such a joy to watch and listen to. just the right combo of loud and melodic, and still very indie and egalitarian. pure creative merit.
Absolutely amazed by Exhausted in this, WOW!
🔥💎Es un tesoro este video,que fantastico y Dave Grhol derrocha simpatia como siempre 💎🤘❤Los amo Foos❤🎸
That is the most amazing version of I'll stick around I've ever seen!
I remember the Foos in these early years. First time I got to see em was in Vancouver when they played My Hero live for the first time.
I love the “food fighters” with the stars and dates. Back in the 90’s, some video cameras allowed you to overlay graphics like that. This had to be hand drawn. Whoever shot this must’ve misheard them and thought their name was “food fighters”. I love this. Very old school. Reminds me of home video growing up and it’s amazing to see FF in a setting like this. Thanks for sharing it’s much appreciated
I think this show was literally a food drive/ discount or maybe free with canned food...
@@thereallycool it may have been. Either way the video camera overlay was very nostalgic!
They probably just wrote Food Fighters to fuck around xD
@@floatyjam possibly! Lol
God I love early Foos!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Una verdadera joya historica para los que amamos a los foo!
I miss the Velvet Elvis so much. Reminds me of a day Seattle embraced the music coming out of the city.
great pat smear's vocals in big me!!!
