Skin and Bones is a live acoustic album by Foo Fighters released on November 7, 2006.
The 15-track set was recorded on August 29, 30 and 31, 2006 at the Pantages Theatre 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, and percussionist Drew Hester. 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". The album debuted at number 21 on the Billboard 200, selling about 49,000 copies in its first week. [11] This was also the album's peak position on the chart. [12]
A DVD of the original shows, featuring a total of 21 songs, was released on November 28, 2006. It was directed by Danny Clinch, who appears briefly on-stage to play harmonica on the song "Another Round", reprising the contribution he made to the original album recording of the song for In Your Honor . The UK version of the release is a two-disc set including the band's 2006 (electric) 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".
