Skin and Bones is a live acoustic album by Foo Fighters released on November 7, 2006.

The 15-track set was taped in late August 2006 at the Pantages Theater in Los Angeles and spotlights an expanded eight-piece lineup featuring violinist Petra Haden, former Germs/Nirvana/Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear, Wallflowers keyboardist Rami Jaffee, and percussionist Drew Hester. Haden and Jaffee had appeared as guest musicians on the band's previous studio album, In Your Honor.

A three-song encore consists of Grohl solo performances of "Friend of a Friend," "Best of You," and "Everlong." Grohl is joined by the full ensemble at the end of "Everlong."

A DVD from the shows, boasting additional songs, arrived on November 28. The UK version of the release is a two-DVD set including the band's 2006 performance at Hyde Park.

The title song was previously released as a B-side on the single "DOA," and was included on the EP "Five Songs and a Cover."

The album debuted at number 21 on the Billboard 200, selling about 49,000 copies in its first week.^[1] This was also the album's peak position on the chart.^[2]
