    I might try to hit the pop up shop tomorrow after work. I just have awful memories of all PJ pop up shops being a complete clusterfuck, but I heard a rumor the Foos run their shops real smooth.

    Given2fly23, we'll keep you in mind. I'll be with a group of 5-6 other 10c members and we'll keep our ear to the ground for you.

    Anyone come across a Medium Rare vinyl I'd be much obliged.

    Read that they've had some MRare's and Songs/Laundry Room at these pop up's.

    saw them in Pitt last night.... great show as always, but damn, Ed absolutely crushes Dave in terms of live vocals. Dave needs to figure out a way to change the way he sings if he cares about playing for 10 or so more years. The chorus for the Pretender was very rough last night...

    Detroit show on Monday was a lot of fun. They covered some great classic rock songs, and played all of my favorite Foo songs. Highlight for me was Tom Petty's Break down. But they seriously don't compare to Pearl Jam as far as their own songs. Dave is cool as fuck, and they are awesome musicians. But there were multiple times when I couldn't wait for the song to be over.

    I want PJ to play DTE! I fucking love that venue

    I second all of that. Royal Blood is unreal. Really hope they come through Ohio on a headlining tour.

    They are definitely awesome in concert. Listening to the album actually does them no justice. They are so much better live.

    I completely agree. I saw them in Noblesville last night.

    I saw Dave Grohl being interviewed a few months back and he made some comments about how the FF doesn't do encores...basically that encores were stupid, etc. I didn't quite understand that but whatever.

    What I did notice was the following:
    1. The FF play almost the exact same setlist every night. There are a few songs in the middle that are subbed out or moved around but they tend to open and close with the same stuff.
    2. They play mostly 25 songs per show
    3. They interrupt virtually every song with mid-song banter...mostly how loud and crazy the crowd is, how the crowd compares to other crowds, etc. Over and fucking over this happened.
    4. Dave likes to scream a lot. Mostly for no reason.
    5. They have a keyboard player that stood dead center in the back of the stage. Drums were in a corner stage left. This dork danced like someone at a grateful dead concert all night in front of the video screen. I really wanted him to leave. His keyboard solo reminded me of a 3 year old beating on a piano.
    6. Of the 25 songs they played last night 6 were covers....I found that odd. No Stacked Actors, no White Limo which are both of my favorite FF tunes.
    7. When heard back to back to back most of their tunes sounds exactly the same. Maybe that's why they play so many covers?

    WOuld I go again? Not sure. I was really looking forward to this show and was pretty disappointed. I'm glad I didn't get Wrigley tickets....

    You lost me at their songs sounding exactly the same, I've read it before, but I really don't hear it.

    That's Rami Jaffee. I love what he adds to the band, and I love watching him perform. Too bad you didn't enjoy. He's super talented and way under-rated. He's not even considered a Foo by most but is on stage for pretty much the entire show.

    He plays a track or two on Immagine in Cornice.
