Friday'sLost Video Part II

Ok, follow me on this one....

The Foo Fighters are Dave Grohl's post Nirvana music avenue, which for the first album was just Dave playing all instruments and singing. The songs were ones he wrote while a member of Nirvana, but never showed them to Kurt Cobain because he didn't think they were good enough. He decided that a whole band was needed to tour, so the Foo's became a four man outfit, and a second album was done (and many more since). This song is called "My Poor Brain" and is my fav from the 2nd album "The Color and the Shape"(1997). Im also addicted to the bridge riff on this song!!!

Now about this song was not played in concert alot, and some English Foo fans went to 6 concerts to get Dave to play this song. From a poster called Emily:

I went to see the Foo Fighters on their UK tour, i went to these dates:

Manchester
Birmingham
Sheffield
Cardiff
London
London

At each show we held up signs saying "My Poor Brain", and nearly every show Dave said no way. On the Saturday at London he said "I'll play it tomorrow! ok? i will!" then it came to Sunday and he kept his word and played it second to last :)
Props to all the Foo Fighters Postboard people, you made this tour one hell of a laugh!!

Now this vid is a cross between the live intro from the London concert, merged to the album version of the song and concert footage. Please enjoy! (Sorry about a couple of "F" bombs)
