Got Foo?

I went to see the Foo Fighters in Memphis over the weekend and was totally blown away. What a great show! I know what a great live band PJ is, but I think now FF is right up there with them. Dave knows how to work a crowd.

If anyone has the opportunity to check them out on this tour I would highly recommend it. Hell, I'm ready to go again!

    I'm seeing them in a little less than a month. Including Ticketmaster charges, I ended up paying over $50. I hope it's worth it.

    It is totally worth it. I flew in to Dallas to visit some friends from college, and we went to the show. It was my 3rd time seeing the Foo fighters. Amazing show even though Dave's voice did sound a little hoarse at times when he talked to the crowd. I loved how they did an acoustic set this time, and it's cool seeing Pat smear play with them for the additional foo fighters. They have been playing about 30 minutes longer too which is cool, so they have expanded their set length which is cool, just more time to rawk!

    Yeah, they're a great live band. Saw them twice when they toured for The Colour and the Shape, and once more when they opened for the Chili Peppers (for their 3rd album).

    They may be up to par as far as playing live but their songs arent even close to as good at PJs.

    1/25/08 Memphis
    Let It Die • The Pretender • All My Life • My Hero • Learn To Fly • Breakout • Cheer Up Boys, Your Make Up Is Running • This Is A Call • Stacked Actors • Times Like These • Marigold • See You • Cold Day In The Sun(Taylor on vocals) • But, Honestly • Everlong • Monkey Wrench • Big Me • Long Road To Ruin • Best Of You

    It was cool to have Pat Smear playing with them. We were fifth row up at the back of the arena and the acoustic stage dropped out of the roof right in front of us basically. They played acoustic (sorta) beginning with Time Like These and then on Everlong the band went back to the main stage leaving dave alone for the first part of Everlong. Then they ended Everlong full band. We got lucky in a way, because Dave got sick the next day leading to the cancellation of shows in arkansas and Oklahoma

    Lucky! I've seen them 11 times since the One By One tour (with 12 and 13 on the way in June). I'd rather have seen them once on the TCATS tour than all the times I've seen them up til now.
