Alternative rockers Foo Fighters had an unexpected throwback in store at the ‘Bottlerock‘ festival in Napa, CA this past Saturday, May 23rd. Nestled in among their headlining set was the band’s first-ever live cover of The Vaselines‘ “Jesus Wants Me For A Sunbeam“. Longtime followers of Foo Fighters vocalist Dave Grohl and his time in the legendary grunge band Nirvana are likely familiar with that track.
Nirvana covered it live frequently and also included an acoustic version of it on their 8x multi-platinum 1994 live album “MTV Unplugged In New York“. Below you can watch fan-filmed footage of the Foos‘ first time tackling this track over the weekend.
