Foo Fighters brought the Everything or Nothing at All Tour to Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday, August 3, and the place was rocking. The tour kicked off at New York’s Citi Field on July 17, and is the band’s biggest yet.

Known for electrifying performances and chart-topping hits, Foo Fighters has been a dominant force in music since releasing its self-titled debut album in 1995. Dave Grohl recorded that album in a home studio, playing every instrument.
That’s a far cry from the act’s most recent album, But Here We Are.

Fans packed the rail for the Foo Fighters.

Special guests the Pretenders and Mammoth WVH were on hand, as was our photographer, who brought back these photos:
