Greatest Hits covers every phase of the 15-year-and-counting run that
began with 1995's Foo Fighters, with its classic singles "This Is A Call" and "Big Me," and has since yielded six platinum-plus records and as many Grammys. The double-platinum The Colour & The Shape, originally issued in 1997 and since reissued in a deluxe 10th anniversary edition, is recalled here not only by "Monkeywrench," "Everlong" and "My Hero," but by the first ever studio recording of "Everlong (acoustic)." Consecutive Best Rock Album Grammy winners There Is Nothing Left To Lose (1999) and One By One (2002) are represented by two pairs of classics respectively: ""Learn To Fly" and
"Breakout," and "All My Life" and "Times Like These," while 2005's two-disc electric/acoustic 10th anniversary opus In Your Honor yields the
perennial FF final encore "Best of You." The intimate 2006 acoustically augmented theater tour documented on the Skin + Bones album and DVD
is commemorated here by that collection's title track.
Greatest Hits is completed by "The Pretender" and "Long Road To Ruin," a double shot from 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, which earned the Foos their third Best Rock Album Grammy and set off the band's biggest ever headlining tour, which peaked with a two-night stand at London's Wembley Stadium attended by 165,000 fans-setting the venue's two-night attendance record-and immortalized on the 18-song Foo Fighters: Live At Wembley Stadium DVD.
