    I hope they play a few TX dates next year. 8-) seen them 3x and it's always a great show. This last record is awesome and they are playing a longer set now too. Hopefully they come see us.

    I haven't seen them live yet, but I've watched their concert DVDs and I have to say I just don't like the jam sessions. Especially Stacked Actors. That's one of my favorite songs and to drag it out for 15 minutes is just too much. I don't think of Foo Fighters as a jam band and the ones they do during the same few songs are somewhat boring. I want them to play more songs. They could play two more songs in the time it takes to drag out Stacked Actors. How about Stranger Things Have Happened, Come Alive, DOA, Oh George, Good Grief, Disenchanted Lullaby, or Come Back?

    I think it's torture they way they drag out every song, esp Stacked Actors. Seems like Dave has watched too many Led Zep concert DVD's lately. :lol:

    Stranger Things Have Happened or Come Back would be killer. But they aren't delivering deep tracks to old fart fans like us. They are playing greatest hits. Show is still killer though, despite all these complaints. 8-)

    Anyone know when social d or any other supporting acts come on? I know my buddy I'm going with will want to see Sd but I want to head over to the harpoon brewery for some beer sampling before the show.

    It was about 8 I think. Maybe earlier. Joy Formidable came on before 7 in Philly and were worth getting there early for.

    Same times in DC. And I agree the Joy is worth seeing.
    Show #13 was a lucky one for me....

    Yep. She's the one that always starts shit with Dave. He only responds to her.

    Tour shirts!!! http://store.foofighters.com/collections/tour?page=1

    I had no idea they were putting these onlines. Since Newark and Boston are there (but NYC is not) I can only imagine they have been there for awhile, BEFORE the shows. Oh well. There are a bunch of cities left, mens and womens in case folks wanted to get a shirt.

    Aw that's a shame. Crowd at the IZOD show was awesome, so I don't think it's a NJ thing. Maybe everyone was tired from MSG the night before :D

    Gave them away here :mrgreen: I saw that you sold your MSG tickets on the Foo board. I didn't have the energy, my buddy canceled last minute and I was already so darn tired that I just wanted to make sure the seats got used...
