When i first realised that the foo fighters were releasing an acoustic album, i thought, hmm how's that gonna sound. Actually when they played Dublin in Dec 2005 Dave Grohl said they'd be back on tour with an acoustic show, the never came :cry: However, this didn't stop me wanting the CD & DVD.

 

In my opinion, Dave Grohl is supremely talented, and is quite underrated, and its no doubt this was his concept, yes it may be a bit like Nirvana's Unplugged, but its different on a lot of levels, for a start, i somehow doubt was suffering withdrawal from Heroin, and needed some valium to calm him down.

 

Its in this extended foo fighters show, 2 hours on the dvd, with strings, more percussion, even Pat Smear makes a comeback, and acoustic sound. The audience was caught like a rabbit in the headlights at the quality and talent of these musicians.

 

Dave Grohl says in the DVD that nearly all foo fighters songs start life as acoustic, then are fed rock steroids before they become belters, Best of You springs to mind here, he sings this one, on his own, playing only his guitar, and it hits the senses as much, if not more than the rock version which features on In You Honor.

 

You can expect the usual Foo Fighters classics here, My Hero, Everlong, Walking After You, February Stars, all great songs off arguably their best album, The Colour and The Shape.

While they play a lot of their more recent stuff too.

 

What makes the DVD for me, is the 5.1 Audio mix, perfect for anyone who has a dolby digital enabled home theatre amp (like me) the sound quality is amazing, and for anyone who likes the foo fighters, i couldn't recommend this enough!

I've heard good things about this. I've always been a huge Foos fan so i might pick this up if i have the cash.

 

Most concert dvds i find a bit boring though. Just makes me pissed off that i wasnt actually there lol.
