Foos Files turns back the clock 20 years to revisit Foo Fighters' 2006 acoustic tour.

The band performed a series of dates with an expanded line-up which included returning guitarist Pat Smear, keyboard player Rami Jaffee (who would later become a full-time member), violinist and vocalist Petra Haden, and percussionist Drew Hester.

The tour was particularly special for Ryan Beveridge from Australia and Mexican fan Cristian Macouzet, who both went to great lengths to secure tickets.

Ryan and Cristian join us this week to share their memories, having attended the shows in Sydney and Chicago respectively.

Check out Ryan's podcast '1001 Songs That Make You Want To Die'.
