    Is the iTunes show only available to view via iPhone/iPad/Apple TV? Like, can I see it on my computer somewhere? Don't know about everyone else but my iPhone screen is really small! :lol::lol:

    You can watch it on your computer just fine. Have it running right, and holy fucking shit is it amazing :lol:

    This shows version of Best of You is right up there with the best live moments by PJ, imho.

    You can? Through iTunes? I must be totally untechnologically savvy then, I thought I tried but I kept being taken to the iPhone app page. Have to try it when I get home. Thanks!

    Fuckin sweet. I was gonna get GA but I'm a little too old for that scene.

    Same reason I don't go for GA anymore :lol:

    :lol::lol: You don't have much choice over here, almost all shows are GA. Seated shows are an oddity and the Roundhouse where the iTunes shows take place is all GA, the upper balconies are for VIPs and still mainly standing if I remember correctly. It's a fab venue though, I love shows in there.

    Watching Back & Forth again right now on Palladia and it's making me want to see them live again! I've seen them 5x, the last 2 of which were secret shows here in LA where they played the album in it's entirety as part of a 2.5 - 3 hour set. They're incredible live. Highly recommend doing whatever it takes to see them.

    I think my friend and I are going to try for tickets closer to date of! We talked it over and we just gotta do it! The drive really isn't too too bad so we might just have to suck it up! Definitely would be better if it was a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday but it's the effin Foo Fighters so we just gotta do it!

    Just listened to the album again while working out, and Walk totally gives me goosebumps when it goes into, "I never wanna die, I never wanna die, I'm on my knees, I never wanna die..."

    Ughhh, can't wait until September!!

    I got the album in June and it is amazing. "Dear Rosemary" is my favorite track right now, but there really isn't a bad song on the album. "Walk" is my least favorite, but even that song is good. There's not a skipable song on the album. I like that the album is heavy from start to finish but each song manages to have its own unique elements that keep them from sounding too similar and repetitive. After catching the last bit of "Back and Forth" on Palladia, I'm amazed that the album sounds so energized when it appears as though they recorded everything sitting down. It has a "live" feel to it--as if they were jumping around on a stage instead of sitting in chairs being poked by children who want to go swimming :)

    I like your analysis of the album. "Dear Rosemary" is also my favorite on the album.

    How many of you back in the Nirvana days knew Dave was awesome, before his awesome level went way up? Was listening to "Nevermind" and absolutely love his drumming, especially on Territorial Pissings and Stay Away.

    Dave is a powerhouse on the drums...when Them Crooked Vultures came out I was excited he was drumming!

    Anyone know if there's an address for Foos for fan correspondence? I've been trying to find an addy for a while.

    I never got to see the itunes live stream last week. Is it something that can still be viewed now?
