Foo Fighters - Down In The Park (1996 Restored Demo)

This is a restoration of the Foos' demo of "Down In The Park," recorded January 24-26, 1996 at Robert Lang Studio.

I compared the recording of "Down In The Park" from this particular source against its official release to determine the changes in speed (pitch & tempo) necessary to make this entire session sound as accurate as possible and undo any cassette degradation over the years. Additionally, I adjusted EQ and noise reduction to try and match the brightness from officially released sources of this session.

An enormous thank you to the original Redditor who shared a stereo source of this session back in 2018 -- this was the basis of my attempted restoration. Hope you enjoy!

I’m pretty sure they released this version as a B-Side to My Hero and on that X-Files compilation.

I like this song and I also like exhausted and I'll Stick Around.

boy that crunchier guitar in the second verse sounds so much better than it did on the X-Files soundtrack.

does everyone actually think dave grohl wrote this? this was wrote by gary numan

I still after all this time and listening to every interview and reason why still can’t understand why Dave didn’t like Williams drumming. I just can’t understand it
