I am absolutely in love with this album. The energy at these live performances is incredible. My favorites off here are Times Like These, Best of You, and Everlong.

As a huge fan and collector of music from Phish, this was a must-have album for me. You cam find the same quality and mp3 and CD if you don't want to spend the money on this special edition.

This CD/DVD is exactly what you should expect if you are in the market. I own some but not all of the Foo albums. This CD gave me the songs that I wanted from the remaining albums, in addition to the two unreleased tracks. There are songs from the foo catalog that are not on this CD that are better tracks, however this is exactly what it is called "greatest hits", and Dave Grohl has been the first to say this. If you aren't a fan but like some of the songs and you find yourself curious I recommend picking it up, and springing for the DVD is worth it just because the foo fighters have a great sense of humor on display in their videos. Worth my money and my time, check it out!

If everything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again. The only thing I'll ever ask of you ... you've got to promise not to stop when I say when.

Thats not me getting poetic, its the lyrics to the Foo Fighter's song "Everlong" and also the way it makes me feel while hearing it. Actually I'm hearing the acoustic version of it from their live acoustic album - Skin and Bones.

I have to admit, I have rocked to Foo Fighters songs in the past but have never until this very moment realized how deep their lyrics are. I never really gave the album version of "Everlong" much thought. I don't know if it was the weird video that put me off or the fact that Dave Grohl is screaming his lungs out which completely ruins the sentiment of the song for me.

A band shows its true metal on an acoustic performance and this is where Foo Fighters shines. I have to say Skin and Bones is one of the best live performances I have heard. The band puts so much energy into their live performance that you can even feel it off a pre-recorded cd. Dave's voice takes you through a range of emotions and on some of the tracks he goes from slow and peaceful to hard and heavy seamlessly. This live performance will take you through a gamut of emotions, from love, to heart break, to betrayal, to sentimental.

The acoustic version of Everlong has hit a chord with me, it makes me want to laugh, cry, be in love, all at the same time! I can't make up my mind if the song is that brilliant or I am going through a hormonal change!

Some of the other notable tracks on the disk: -

Best of You -

I've got another confession to make, I'm your fool. Everyone's got their chains to break, holding you. My heart is under arrest again, but I'll break loose.

I think we all have been under someones spell at some time or the other and needed to break loose. I can relate.

Walking After You -

If you'd accept surrender, give up some more. If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you.

Poetic!

My Hero -

There goes my hero, watch him as he goes. There goes my hero ... he's ordinary!

I can't quite figure out if Dave means ordinary people are heroes or he means that we worship people / celebrities and they turn out to be ordinary people. Either way, an awesome song!

Times Like These -

It's times like these you learn to live again. It's times like these you give and give again. It's times like these you learn to love again. It's times like these time and time again.

A song about recovering from ... whatever. I love this song, second only to Everlong.

People do yourselves a favor and go out and buy this disk. Buy it, download it, rip it, steal it, I don't care! Just get it!

But seriously, this is one of those few disks worth burning a hole in your wallet for.

I had the pleasure of getting to shake Dave Grohl's hand behind the stage at Summerfest (Milwaukee, WI) on the Colour and the Shape tour on July 5, 1997.  I was keenly aware that TCATS was an amazing album at the time, but the perspective of another 10 years passed has revealed just how incredible the record is from start to finish.  Never again have the Foos really recaptured the feeling, the lyric qualities, and the ability to rock with emotion found on this album (though Echoes is a close second).

With unforgettable songs like "Monkeywrench" and "Everlong" and a slew of amazing songs that never saw the light of day on the radio but were indeed radio-worthy especially compared with the junk out there today, The Colour and the Shape is a solid album.  Anyone who's followed the band from the beginning will quickly point to the Colour and the Shape as their best album, without reservation.  It's a cd you should have on your shelf.

The re-release in 2007 included the B-sides that were included with the singles accompanying the original release, and re-mastered versions of the LP.  This was not necessary, and although the B-sides saw a fair amount of radio play, they're distracting from the classic original.  If you don't have the album, you are better served getting the extra songs in the re-release, but I feel sorry for you having missed the boat with the original release and the coveted place it has on my shelf.

Been a fan for more years than I care to admit. Was not aware of this particular concert, but after researching it I sure wish I was there. May even spring for the video soon.

Poster arrived quickly, and in surprisingly good shape for deadstock. Not huge in size, but definitely big enough to catch your attention. Have had several comments since I framed it and hung it in the basement man cave. If you're a rabid dead head, or want to round out a vintage rock 'n roll collection, this is a piece worth having. Truck on!

Absolutely fantastic composition! Worth every penny, and the bonus tracks are a must have for every Harmontown Fan. I will purchase the extended soundtrack with a well produced version of Chicken Noodle Dick if one is ever released.

This is such a great piece of memorabilia!  It is a must for any hardcore fan but it still appeals to all the fans!!! I can not believe the level of detail they put into this!  All the accents and extras in it are amazing! It definitely adds to the show but make sure you have finished the series before going over the book.

Being a fan of Foo Fighters I was eagerly looking forward to watching this documentary having seen bits and pieces on youtube. I was not disappointed. Honest and insightful, the makers captured the essence of who the Foo Fighters are and how and why they came to be one of the best Hard Rock bands in the music scene today.
A must for any fan or casual listener!!
5 Stars.

I bought this book recently If you are a Nirvana a diehard fan or are just learning about them then this book is a must have. Kurt Donald Cobain is and will always be one of my biggest musical inspirations besides being one of the greatest singer songwriters of all time .since i was a young child in grade school i knew that i could sing and write songs melodies but I did not learn to or want to play an instrument until i became a huge Kurt and Nirvana fan a few years after they started getting there songs on the radio. Kurt inspired me to play guitar with his simple catchy guitar riffs and great melodies and hooks in the songs .this book talks about Kurt's childhood interviews with friends and family ,his favorite music artists there is a big list, also Nirvana's experience touring the world and a lot of unknown facts about Kurt Krist and Dave.any huge longtime fan will love this book.this is more interesting then reading a rock and roll biography with a lot of facts and stories you already know .makes a great gift for the Nirvana fan a must read a 5 rating for me!

A must-have for Pink Floyd fans. Get the deluxe edition, you will not be disappointed. I bought this for my girlfriend who is a HUGE Pink Floyd fan. She absolutely loves it. Comes with so many extras... a full poster with lyrics, sticker, postcard, extra glossy cardboard sleeves. Just fantastic. They gave this phenomenal album the royal treatment.

The Foo Fighters are a band that have had to kind of grow on me over time.  I bought the debut album way back in the day, but ended up selling back to a used CD store.  Over the years I have come to appreciate the straight forward heavy rock that they do, and also hail them for one of the few bands out there really keeping rock alive with mainstream media.  This is a cool collection of songs from the band's first 6 albums.  The tracks are not presented chronologically but it works well in this format.  Having never owned any other Foo albums other than the first one, I can't really comment on what is left off of this one, but the tracks that are here are all good to great.  There are also 3 previously unreleased songs that fit in nicely with the rest.  Bottom line, if you are looking to get the most popular songs from this period of the band's history this album will fit the bill.
