Call it The Battle of the Bands and the Social Networks.

Following WeezerMySpace and U2YouTube matchups in the past ten days, a third pairing will soon be added to the mix as a live Foo Fighters performance is scheduled to stream on Facebook this evening.The free performance is supposed to start at 7 PM California time the Foo Fighters will be using the Studio 606 complex in Northridge as a base of operation. Its sure to be a big draw, considering that the band has over 821,000 Facebook fans.Of course, in all honesty, the Foo Fighters and Facebook dont have much hope of matching U2 and YouTube. Reports indicate that U2s Sunday night broadcast generated 10 million streams, which is an astonishing number.Factor in U2s bigger fan base, plus the fact that this is a Friday, and again, no one should look for a repeat performance in a manner of speaking.Still, the spate of major concerts thatve been streamed toss in Hulus coverage of the Austin City Limits Music Festival, if you like seems to represent the start of a trend, and should mean a lot to music fans who dont feel like flying across the country and spending still more money on tickets.
