Remember that time Eric played with the Foo Fighters?
« on: August 09, 2017, 08:40:06 PM »
Ran across this fan review of a Foo Fighters concert in 1997 where Talk Show opened for them (ignore the negativity).  Apparently Eric Kretz joined in with the Foo Fighters to play "I'll Stick Around".  Wish there was video of that floating around.

No video that I am aware of, but there's a semi-decent audience recording for that show:

Incidentally, the date in that review is wrong, the date on FooFightersLive.com is correct.
Grab the hate and drown it out...

A nice user on Reddit got just the audio of Dave Grohl talking about Talk Show and inviting Kretz up and them playing the song (audio is messy but whatever!):  https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZ7dtX7ZorgWRoe3xtSYyOmHPkGCB0tCG3TX

A guy I've worked with on live media productions over the years told me he was at one of those Foo Fighters/Talk Show gigs. He remembers that Kretz was struggling a little to keep up with Taylor on one of the songs. Then again, FF are a little more punkier/faster than what Kretz is used to.
