| Song |
"Exhausted" is the first Foo Fighters release and the first single from the debut album. It was only issued as a promotional single, pressed on black 12" vinyl. The song is notable for being the first original Foo Fighters track released to the public (along with "Gas Chamber", a song originally performed by the Angry Samoans), when it premiered January 8, 1995 on Eddie Vedder's Self-Pollution Radio broadcast.[1] Both tracks from this release were staples of the bands earliest live shows, being played throughout 1995 and on into 1996.[2]
The cover artwork was created by Tim Gabor, who was also credited for the design and art direction of the debut album. The front image was eventually used again for a promotional CD single version of "For All the Cows". All photos displayed on the back cover would later appear slightly rearranged in the liner notes of the debut album.
The b-side, "Winnebago", originally appeared on the Late! album Pocketwatch in 1992. The re-recorded version presented here would be excluded from the final album (except on the Australian bonus disc), but made two more b-side appearances on "This Is a Call", and the US maxi-single version of "Big Me".
