Before completing the Foo Fighters set at the Roskilde Festival on July 2nd, 2005, Dave Grohl yells out to the crowd if they're ready to see Green Day, who are playing the main stage immediately afterward. Grohl then yells out if they're ready to see Duran Duran, who were playing the festival after Green Day's set later that night. The band then goes into a silly jam, with Grohl trying to sing the chorus to Rio (or butchers it perhaps, haha), while Taylor Hawkins plays a drum part and Chris Shiflett appears to play the lead riff to Planet Earth on guitar.

Grohl also makes a brief reference to having covered Rio with Nirvana back at a concert in Sao Paulo in 1993, which is a show that has been much sought out by bootleg collectors over the years. Ironically, he had supposedly been doing bass and lead vocals on that cover as well.

Edit: For those curious of the Nirvana cover of Rio in Sao Paulo, you can see the lead-up to it on the video below. One of the band members calls out "Rio" around the 2:15 mark as they're wrapping up their cover of Terry Jacks' Seasons in the Sun. The performance itself has yet to surface, however.
