- Grohl wore an Iowa Hawkeyes T-shirt, subtly referencing Senator Eric Schmitt’s recent attempt to pressure Smith into perjury before Congress.
- During the set, Grohl reflected on his experience campaigning for John Kerry and paid tribute to his late mother, Virginia, highlighting her dedication as a public school teacher and the importance of connecting directly with people.
- Foo Fighters performed several songs including "Times Like These," "Young Man Blues," "All My Life," "The Pretender," "My Hero," "Best of You," and "Everlong."
- Earlier in the day, Grohl joined Tom Morello on stage to cover KISS’ "Rock and Roll All Nite."
