Skin and Bones (Foo Fighters album)

Untitled

Skin and Bones is a live acoustic album by the Foo Fighters released on November 7, 2006.

The 15-track set was taped in late August 2006 at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles and spotlights an expanded eight-piece lineup featuring violinist / singer Petra Haden, former Germs/Nirvana/Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear, Wallflowers keyboardist Rami Jaffee, percussionist Drew Hester, and harmonica player Danny Clinch. Haden and Jaffee had appeared as guest musicians on the band's previous studio album, In Your Honor.

A three-song encore consists of Grohl's solo performances of "Friend of a Friend," "Best of You," and "Everlong." Grohl is joined by the full ensemble at the end of "Everlong."

A DVD from the shows, boasting additional songs, arrived on November 28. The UK version of the release is a two-DVD set including the band's 2006 performance at Hyde Park.

The title song was previously released as a B-side on the single "DOA," and was included on the EP "Five Songs and a Cover."

The album debuted at number 21 on the Billboard 200, selling about 49,000 copies in its first week. This was also the album's peak position on the chart.
