It’s the next best thing to catching a surprise Foo Fighters show.
Dave Grohl and company have a shared a new live album, Foo Fighters – Are Playing Where ??? Vol. 1, for this week’s Bandcamp Friday.
The album is made up of “absolutely ripping live tracks recorded in front of dozens, possibly hundreds of lucky fans at the band’s recent surprise club gigs,” according to a press release. The tracklist includes performances of “Alone + Easy Target,” “Exhausted,” “Watershed,” “Weenie Beenie,” “White Limo,” and “Winnebago.”
The Bandcamp exclusive is available as a “pay what you want” release, with all proceeds going to local charities combating food insecurity in the four cities where the shows took place.
Last month, the band played the first of their surprise shows at the Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, California, where they debuted new drummer, Ilan Rubin, who joined the band in a swap of sorts with Nine Inch Nails, who now feature the Foo Fighters’ previous drummer, Josh Freese.
