Live albums occupy a strange place in record collections. A few, like The Who's 'Live At Leeds', capture a moment so vital they encapsulate a band's very soul. Most, with their in-jokes and sycophantic applause, deserve to be branded with "for obsessive fans", as only completists need B-sides stretched-out for 13 minutes.
For their first major live album, Dave Grohl hasn't chosen to document Foo Fighters at their lung-busting, feral loudest. Those wanting the "rock show" have to wait for next month's download-only 'Live At Hyde Park'. Instead, 'Skin And Bones' documents this summer's acoustic tour.
