    This is so true. And while it may be blasphemy.....I even said after the show and again the next day that they may be better live than PJ is.
    All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow

    They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

    Do the Foos mix up the setlist every night?

    I haven't really been keeping up with the sets show-to-show but I do believe they change it some....no where near to the degree of PJ though

    Not quite, no. This was yesterday's setlist:

    Bridge Burning
    Rope
    The Pretender
    My Hero
    Learn to Fly
    White Limo
    Arlandria
    Breakout
    Cold Day in the Sun
    Stacked Actors
    Walk
    Monkey Wrench
    Let It Die
    Generator
    Times Like These
    Young Man Blues
    One By One
    Skin and Bones
    These Days
    Best of You
    Tie Your Mother Down
    Everlong

    It seemed fairly standard for their Europe tour so far, so they might mix it up a little once they hit the US, but wouldn't expect huge surprises from night to night. But it still seems fresh, they still play it with a lot of vigor and it's just a rocking good time!

    When they played 2 nights here a couple years ago at Red Rocks, they only switched up 1 song. Great show, but not the kinda setlist that changes night-to-night.

    I don't care how they do their set lists...if I'm going to see the Foo Fighters, then I'll be very happy to see a Foo show. I know I'll get a really good show from an awesome band.

    I'm really liking "Headwires" right now. "There Is Nothing Left to Lose" is a very melodic album and it's creeping up my Foo list.

    I sure wish I could find a good recording of memphis. I found one of the first time i saw them and it was pretty awful.

    Also, SPIN says Wasting Light is the best of the year so far. That's a no brainer in my book.

    Same here. I really hope it gets Album of the Year nom and hopefully the win.

    "Dear Rosemary", to me, is the best track on the album. I listen and it stays on repeat for a while. Bob is amazing on that song!!

    Bridge Burning is such an awesome album opener. Probably my second favorite on the album.

    I'm dreaming of an Albany show. Why bands don't come upstate anymore is beyond me. It's not like a fan base isn't here!
