    Little better sound here (looks like the first one got taken down once they realized how shitty it sounded)

    Listened to the first 4 records today. My wife saw them at the Big Day Out back in the late 90s. Still her favorite live concert ever.

    I've been lucky enough to catch him playe a few times over the years:

    1) Alanis Morissette - Vancouver '96
    2) Foo Fighters - Vancouver '97 (ubc student rec centre)
    3) Foo Fighters - Barrie '98 - Edgefest
    4) Foo Fighters opening for RHCP - Vancouver BC - 2000 (they were way to awesome to open for rhcp, they stole the thunder!)
    5) Foo Fighters - Wasting Light Tour - Vancouver 2011
    6) Foo Fighters - Vancouver 2018

    There should be another one in there as we had tickets to see a show when I lived in Edmonton, but I got sick and couldn't go :(

    I remember Taylor already stood out enough in Alanis' band that you immediately recognized him in the foo fighters.  That first show at the ubc rec centre, Taylor and Dave had 2 drum kits on stage and did a drum off... it was pretty epic.

    so many memories... that last show in Vancouver, he brought up a fan to sing under pressure with him.. it was amazing...

    sigh....

    I’d be surprised if Dave will come back as FF!

    I always felt that the Foo Fighters was very much Dave and Taylor. I'd be surprised to see them continuing with someone else on drums. Dave must be absolutely devastated

    Very sad how Pat has lost 3 band members over the years.....Darby Crash (The Germs), Kurt and now Taylor.

    Dave was also in QOTSA when Mark Lanegan was there.
    Losing Mark just last month and now Taylor is a lot to take as a fan. I can't imagine how it must feel for Dave.

    I need to give that record a listen. It’s not one I go to often in their catalog. That one and the one with The Pretender on it. Echos something…

    I know many love Wasting Light, and the Echos Patience, something and Grace album. But to me, they took a huge step down after the 2005 In Your Honor album,

    Love me some Echoes, Silence, Patience and Grace. The demo version of Let It Die is one of my favourite FF tracks.

    Wasting Light is a masterpiece. They went downhill with Sonic Highways, Concrete and Gold, and Medicine At Midnight.

    I understand sonic and medicine, but I really don't understand why Concrete and Gold didn’t stand out to more to people.

    C&G has a few good songs (Run, Sky Is a Neighborhood, Sunday Rain) but the rest just bore me. FFs haven't really rocked since Wasting Light and I miss that about them - too much experimentation.

    Sonic Highways actually grew on me.  I didn't think much of it when it came out, but then we rewatched the TV show and it inspired me to give it another go.  Thoroughly enjoy it now.

    My long term thoughts on the Foo fighters is they have a handful of albums that are great front to back.   There's also a number of albums that are ok but have a few standout tracks.  The thing is, when you have over 10 albums, and you start to add those standout tracks together, you have enough songs to do a fantastic live show :)
  • HughFreakingDillonHughFreakingDillon Posts: 36,901
    one thing I've noticed is that a band of that longevity can one of two ways: keep writing the same songs over and over and please the middle of the road fan, or experiment to keep it fresh, alienating some fans, keeping your hard cores, but gaining new ones. those bands eventually come full circle and write another "classic" album again (Pearl Jam, U2, Metallica, etc). I like when a band takes chances and challenges themselves and the audience. I can appreciate that.

    Wasting Light top to bottom is a masterpiece. My favorite non Pearl Jam album. The albums that have followed all have standout tracks but as a whole are probably just okay. I did enjoy Medicine at Midnight though. 

    Don't see how Foo Fighters continue though. Really hard to imagine anybody else behind the drums.

    Reflecting on how glad I am Foo Fighters were the last minute replacement at Shaky Knees last year.

    I enjoyed it because the series was also very very good! If you haven’t watched it, I highly recommend it!

    I have been listening the hell out of “Wasting Light.”  I enjoyed it when it came out, but I keep loving it more and more as I listen to it now.
    I wish I was a sacrifice, but somehow still lived on.
