and I am so excited to just go and do something in my element. I mean it's hard to explain, but I just feel so *in place* at rock shows. I always have since I was in high school. Big ones, little ones, whatever. I think it's really the only thing I truly find fun! I haven't been to a show in a long time I think because there isn't a lot of new music I'm into so this is going to be good. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

    I totally do!

    Whenever we go to shows (especially at small clubs), I look around and I just totally feel like that's where I'm supposed to be. My husband feels exactly the same way about it.

    I feel awesome when I go to a show. I feel like I'm in my own world. I sing and dance. (sorry to the people next to me!!)

    I'm going to the foo fighters too. On the 25th. I'm excited, except its a Monday :eek:

    I sometimes panic in crowds, so I don't think I could be alone at one... :o But, my husband has gone to plenty of shows alone and he likes it. It's not like you're there to make conversation. It's too loud! :)

    oh man are you kidding? echoes silence patience and grace is amazing (I agree in your honor wasn't the greatest thing ever, but they've certainly made up for it).

    anyway, I don't want this to get moved to Other Music :)

    I'm going to have to respectfully disagree and state that I love Dave Grohl, but the Foo's are a shadow of their former selves and whenever I heard the Pretender or whatever on the radio, the station changes.

    it really surprised me when it happened to me a couple of years ago.
    and it's not like he's gorgeous the way Ed was in 1992.

    Dave Grohl is the most fun energetic front man for a BAND ever!! I got to see the Foo's grammy performance last night as part of the audience and let me tell you ....... he was having so much fun, the whole band was having a blast. I can see how girls just swoon over him but somehow I just see him as a super outta control little brother!!

    I havent seen a show there in years. Worcester is a pain in the ass drive and I am not a big fan of seeing shows there. The Foos will be worth it, Im sure.

    You've got to be kidding. I think they are currently as good as they've ever been. I saw them 2 weeks ago and I can say that was the first concert I've ever been to where my neck hurt the next day from the head banging. I'd put it at a close second to any PJ show. I'm hoping they'll have a 2nd leg of the US tour in the fall, 'cause I'm going to see them again if they do.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    any time i'm at a show, the world around me ceases to exist. i'm totally in my element...sometimes a bit too much. *sorry to the girl i accidentally hit in the head at band of horses saturday!!* i somehow have the ability to dance to anything!

    the foo fighters are amazing live...one of the best arena concerts i've been to. dave's interaction with the crowd is awesome. you'll have a fantastic time i'm sure :)
    yes...i do feel like a human. i do not feel like a tree.
