    Nabbed floor tickets to catch them at the Forum... my new home away from home with Prince, System of a Down, Soundgarden, and the Foos all in 2011.
    Is it too much to ask for a full-blown Temple of the Dog set? Probably.

    I need a MA or CT date. It will be my 7 year old son Brandon's 1st concert. He fell in love w/ Wasting Light the 1st time he heard me listening to it. Now he's starting to listen to the Foo's back catalog - just like I used to do when I discovered a band growing up. He called me right after he got off the school bus today because he knew more dates we're being announced today.


    Just make sure he is ready to hear Dave drop the f-bomb. A LOT. And bring earplugs. I took my 3 sons to see Foo in 2008, so they were 8, 14, 13 at the time. It was not their first concert and they enjoyed it.

    The earplugs were always in my plan. I was listening to the Wembley show while lounging in the pool the other day w/ my wife - and her comment was "does he always swear this much? That's not appropriate for a 7 year old". So of course I told her "no - it's just this show. The last show I went to, he barely swore at all". :roll:

    It'll be our secret.

    This album on vinyl sounds so freakin' good! Analog is the way to record if you want an album to sound great on vinyl.

    Just snagged GA ticket to their Newark show, and already got a ticket to see them at the IZOD center lower level behind GA. So pumped, saw them in 08 and they kicked ass, and now ther playing 10 more songs per set list.
    Holy shit....

    Really hoping for some of these to be played, but doubt most of them. I should hop on their boards and beg and plead: New Way Home, Alone + Easy Target, Up In Arms (which they have been playing), Wind Up, Gimme Stitches, Come Alive, ahh theres too many but I know I'll be satisfied anyway.

    You will have a blast no doubt.
    Wish I could see them again very soon
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    Nice! I need to buy it because I didn't like the TV version because of how much Dave swears.

    Just thought of something, if they play at the Wells Fargo Center (which I think they will), they tickets will not be handled by LiveNation/Ticketmaster. They have their own system, it's a good idea to set up an account first and also get on their mailing list for pre-sale:

    https://ev15.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommer ... =&appCode=

    From what I have seen for this tour, the pre-sale password is easy to get from facebook and Foo Fighter emails, etc. So far it has been "walk".
