April 27: Foo Fighters - Big Me
To close out Nirvana month, I figured I'd listen to some of the post-Nirvana albums.
Picked up this EP at Wal-Mart in Guthrie when I was in high school. It's got "Big Me," of course, an Ace Frehley cover, two outtakes from the first album which sound a lot like Nirvana circa In Utero, two live songs from Dutch radio, and two songs live from the Reading Festival in '95. Listening to this one again, you can tell Dave is trying to break away from the fact that he's the guy from Nirvana, but isn't doing that good a job yet. The Colour and the Shape is the one where the real Foo sound finally comes out. I remember driving to Tulsa to see Foo Fighters at the Cain's in the spring of '96... that show was awesome.
