Mar 18th 1996 • Seattle, WA, United States

Foo Fighters are booked to appear on Rockline, a nationally syndicated radio show broadcast across the country. The venue is Clatter And Din studios in Seattle and with the prospect of performing tracks acoustically for the first time, Dave has some interesting treatments in mind.

The band were at Clatter And Din studios in Seattle to play tracks and partake in an interview for the syndicated US radio show 'Rockline', hosted by Bob Coburn.The show was broadcast live and the band performed several tracks in the studio acoustically with interview segments and studio tracks in between. 'For All The Cows', 'How I Miss You', 'Wattershed' and 'How I Miss You' were all performed and 'Wattershed' was performed in a unique manner, as explained by Grohl - "There's a song on our album called Wattershed and it's sorta this fast, loud, crazy song and it's about absolutely nothing. So what I think would be fitting, and fun, would be to play 'Wattershed' and instead of me singing it I'm going to tell you a story, in the voice of Fred Scheider from the B-52s."

It isn't known if Dave improvised the story or wrote it earlier but at the end of the performance he claimed it was indeed all improvisation.

Tape recordings from the radio circulated among fans ever since the original broadcast but in October 2020 a digital EP entitled 'Live On The Radio 1996' was released exclusively via Amazon music, featuring all of the songs performed but not the interview segments.
