    Forget posters and merch, how about the music. Does anyone know if there's a good audience tape out there of the Wrigley show? Not sure if the Foos are a taper-friendly band like PJ or if the audience craves the boots, but I'm not seeing anything on their forum. Thanks!

    late to the thread... amazing read... I'm from Argentina, never been abroad to a show, last Jan was the second visit of the foos, I couldn't make it to the first, so everything was new to me, I had a blast, even with the sonic highways songs of which I wasn't quite familiar at the time, and dave's gags, jokes and his interrupting the songs for no aparent reason was real fun too, and they played Johnny Park, my all time fav of the foos...

    on an unrelated note, I need your help: I won sonic highways vinyl on a radio show here, I want to redeem the download code but the offer is for US and Canada only, is there a way to come round that? I have time until nov 10th, thanks

    Was there. Loved it. So did all my buddies- some partial fans that are fully converted fans now.

    Nope.

    Tastes are funny- I'd say the same of REM.

    Foo Fighters have no garbage. REM has a good chunk of garbage. I was subjected to them in university where they were one of my roommate's go-to bands. I cannot recall one moment where I was rocking out and REM filled the room inspiring me to greater joy. Most of the time they were a buzz kill for me.

    Amazing show at the Gorge on Saturday.
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Thanks for the heads up. Picked one up. Looks like they're copying the Fukubox concept.

    i picked one up as well. I mean for $30 for at least 3 shirts it's not a huge risk. Plus mystery sales are exciting lol. Only reason I didn't do the PJ mystery box is the price was just too much. I'm not as much of a foo fan as a pj fan but they seem to have pretty cool shirt designs
