Foo Fighters - Marigold (Live)

I know it's pretty uncool nowadays to say you like the Foo Fighters (maybe it always was), and I have to admit, their last few albums really haven't done much for me. When I saw that they put out an acoustic live album this month it seemed like one of those typical holiday season cash grabs, and I didn't give it another thought. But then something in the track listing caught my eye and gave me enough reason to at least seek out an MP3: a cover of the Nirvana song "Marigold". This was actually the only Nirvana song ever recorded that Dave Grohl sang lead vocals and played guitar on; it was originally released as a b-side to the "Heart-Shaped Box" single. As it turns out, the Foos' live rendition of the song doesn't really add much to it but I thought someone else out there might be curious to hear it too.
