On this day, 7 December 1997, American rock band the Foo Fighters played Cardiff International Arena on their The Colour and the Shape tour as support to The Prodigy.
The band were supporting their second studio album The Colour and the Shape released on May 20, 1997, by Roswell and Capitol Records.
It was the first album by the Foo Fighters to be recorded as a full band, as the previous self-titled album was both written and recorded entirely by frontman Dave Grohl. The Colour and the Shape is widely considered a defining album of the post-grunge genre, with its three singles becoming staples of rock-oriented radio in the United States.
It was among the highest-selling rock albums of 1997 and 1998, and was nominated for Best Rock Album at the 40th Annual Grammy Awards.
