Just caught up with it on iPlayer, fascinating look at musical history in the different US cities where they recorded each song for the album. 4 down, 4 to go. Can't wait for the next one and the album's on the Christmas list.

20 years

Seems like 5 mins since Nirvana

To me, they nearly always sound out of tune live.

They performed Hello Spaceboy with David Bowie some years back... great band !

 

[Shine On]

To me, they nearly always sound out of tune live.

They're the greatest band live I've ever seen, from a fairly long list. They consistently reproduce an amazing sound & set, and having seen them live here at Reading, Earls Court and Wembley, couldn't agree with you one bit.

Bought the album today.

Will be giving it a run through on the train to London tomorro!

Caught up with the episodes last night (or through the night)

Decent series.

Much more time given to the music scene in each of the locations rather than being all about the Foo Fighters so certainly worth a watch even if your a music fan in general.

Yes, it doesn't come across as self indulgent at all and spans different genres from rock & roll to punk to blues and country. A really enjoyable series.

You should maybe get your ears tested as they are fantastic live.

The last 15 mins of the Nashville episode (The Zac Brown Band / Congregation) was very good.
