Having attended and enjoyed the “Foo Fighters” Acoustic Concert in Chicago, I was compelled to get their latest album “Skin and Bones”, recorded live at Pantages Theater, Hollywood which was one of their first performances for their acoustic tour.This album cannot be labeled as an acoustic performance, rather can be explained as a nice and sweet recipe of calculated amount of hollow guitar, tinges of special instruments and some guiding assistance from the minimal use of unit based grunge guitar. Dave Grohl, the lead vocalist and guitarist of the band, kicks off with the song “Razor” plucking his guitar tenderly and the rest of the band joins to give the song a deserving finish.
From there on, the listeners will go through a thorough enjoyment of soul stirring music for more than an hour. Special songs such as “Marigold” and also the album title song “Skin and Bones” are excellent new piece of work from them.
I will leave the listeners for rest of the songs to be enjoyed and appreciated which will give them an enthralling musical experience. There is no need for someone to be a Foo Fighters fan to appreciate this album, since it is very appealing to all the genre listeners.
This concert is impressive mainly due to the fact that the Foo Fighters & Co. had more fun than the listeners by playing it. “Skin and Bones” may not be an extraordinary or historical performance as that of “Pulse” by Pink Floyd, but it is one of those concerts wherein there is an intangible element attached to it which gives the vibrant energy required to drive the audience to douse themselves into their souls.
