Foo Fighters Release ‘Live On The Radio 1996’

---

Foo Fighters have released an Amazon Original EP called ‘Live On The Radio 1996’, available to stream and purchase from Amazon Music.

The four songs included on the Ep were all recorded in 1996 as part of the “Rockline” radio show by producer Scott Weiss. Scott is now the digital producer over at Amazon Music, Weiss recently rediscovered the recordings, and thanks to Bob Coburn and the “Rockline” crew, prepared the tracks for re-release.

The EP includes acoustic versions of two songs from the bands 1995 self-titled debut album, and one track from the bands 1997 second album ‘The Colour And The Shape’. The Re-Release also includes non-album track ‘How I Miss You’.

The version of ‘Wattershed’, features Dave Grohl replacing the song’s lyrics with the retelling of a trip to Canada, sung in the style of Fred Schneider of THE B-52S.

Weiss said “The band laughed and then dove in and started to work up the idea. The show would cut away for commercials and [the band] would practice the new ‘Wattershed’ idea, The version of ‘Wattershed’ that would soon be known as ‘Water Fred’ was born.” You can read more of what Weiss had to say about the recording session over at People Of Rock And Roll.
