    Hmm...no CT date yet. So far it looks like either MSG or Boston to see the Foo's. MSG is a Sunday I have a 9:30 class Monday morning. Boston is a Wednesday and I don't have a night class. Please announce a CT show!

    Sunday and Monday man thats gonna be a rough start to that week
  • drsluggodrsluggo Posts: 4,742
    I was lucky enough to go on Saturday to the Metro show - they are absolutely amazing live. I havent seen them in a long time (since 2005)...

    They played 2:40 and only took one small encore break. Although I know a lot of people complain about their shows being mostly greatest hits it felt pretty good and the new album being played in the entirety was pretty solid.

    And shirts for $20... how is that possible when PJ charges $35? :lol:
  • rick1zoo2rick1zoo2 between a rock and a dumb place Posts: 12,632
    hmmm.....seriously thinking of going to the NYC show. I am all set for the Philly show the week before, but this is MSG - good excuse for a weekend in the city too

    can't beat $20 shirts!
  • Newch91Newch91 Posts: 17,560
    My plan right now is to decide to go to a show after school starts, so I can check the syllabus for each of my classes to make sure no exams or papers are due. If nothing major is due for those classes, that's when I'll figure out what show to go to. I will go to a Foo Fighters show on this tour.

    Seeing them @ MSG would be pretty solid... I just wished they mixed up the sets a little bit. It feels like if you see one show per tour you're going to see 90% of what they play on that given tour.

    But still -- they approach their shows so differently than PJ and in a lot of ways its not a bad thing. They don't take it AS seriously, they maintain a crazy high level of energy all show and they really seem to engage the crowd a lot. Not that PJ don't do that... but Foos are up there in terms of putting on a show with just about anyone!

    Hope everything works out for you! I'm with ya, juggling wanting to see shows with college classes can sometimes be super annoying!

    The way they do shows reminds me of Green Day - setlists don't vary too much night to night, but holy crap what a show they do!! They (Green Day and Foo) put everything into a show, I am not sure how they hold up every night!

    And MSG is typically a great place to see a show and bands will go all out there - I saw Green Day there in 2009 and it was about a 3 hour show - just amazing - they covered The Who's "A Quick One While He's Away" and I absolutely loved that. I can only imagine how the Foo Fighters will be there - If I had an easy choice, MSG would be the one to go to.

    Agreed! I've seen PJ, DMB, Muse, and John Mayer there and all have been unreal shows! Bands certainly do bring their A-game to the Garden! :)

    Right now I'm thinking of doing MSG because of the reason you gave. I could miss my morning class.
