Radio 1 DJ Tour

Foo Fighters were in the United Kingdom as part of a brief promotional tour to support the release of their Greatest Hits anthology release. Dave was booked to appear on BBC Radio 1 but unusually rather than just appearing during one show he interacted with presenters of three shows through the day.His first appearance came during the Chris Moyles breakfast show and he began by playing snippets of songs on an acoustic guitar as requested by Chris. 'Crazy Little Thing Called Love' (Queen), 'Everlong', 'Tiny Dancer' (Elton John), 'Learn To Fly', 'Skin And Bones' and 'Next Year' were all briefly played before he then played a full version of 'Times Like These'.

The next DJ on air was Jo Whiley and following a quick chat Dave then performed 'Wheels', again acoustically. Finally in the early afternoon Fearne Cotton was in the studio and Dave chose to perform 'My Hero' during her show.
