    Did anyone else think the foos doc was > PJ20?

    I think they were on par with each other- both fabulous.

    Do they vary their set lists or is it the same each night? Wondering about getting tix to a 2nd show.

    I wonder if this is true. But also, it's Courtney saying it, so who knows if she was drugged up or not. I do like what Dave said.

    She is in the bottom 1% of humanity. Although that's probably an insult to the other people in the bottom 1%.

    "In The Flesh"? Are you kidding me? :thumbup: I hope someone was recording.

    No shit man. In the Flesh was amazing! As soon as the first note hit I went completely ape shit nuts. Sad thing was most people around me weren't even singing along!

    Foos are amazing. And them giving me floor seats for just posting on Twitter that I was going to the show was just so awesome of them.

    Yeah sadly enough I was less than impressed with the crowd. They were loud on certain songs (when prompted by Dave) but for the most part were way more concerned with making crappy youtube videos than getting into the show. Plus I think half the crowd was so young that they were more familiar with Pink than Pink Floyd.

    The crowd was very lame for the most part. The only time most people popped was when Dave told them to, like you said. I was also blown away by how many people yelled when Dave asked if anybody there was seeing FF for the first time. Then Dave said something like, "We've only been around for 15 years, glad you could finally make it out to a concert". Maybe it was just one of those times where everybody cheered just for the simple fact that Dave said something into the mic, who knows. But it was for sure a good 90% of the crowd.

    Seen them last Saturday in St.Louis,and they were great. I just couldn't help but rock out.

    Bought tickets on day of the show and got first row off the floor pretty sweet!.. They had the volume cranked up in there, my old ass almost had to wear ear plugs :D...but it probably wouldn't of mattered anyways because I'm already halfway deaf from all the other shows I've been to.

    I finally watched Back and Forth yesterday and I really liked it. I might have to say that I liked it better than PJ20. It just seemed to flow better and focused more on the making of the music. Although they did kinda skimp on In Your Honor and Echoes, Silence, Patience, and Grace in favor of an in-depth look at the making of Wasting Light. I like how they were willing to discuss the personnel changes and even had those guys interviewed to get their perspective. I'm sure they were paid to appear, but at least they got to tell their side of the story.

    The funny part is that I can't help but feel that most of the doc was one big commercial/product placement for Marlboro. I think every still photograph and clip of the band had at least one member smoking or a pack of Marlboro cigarettes somewhere in the shot.
  • I went to the Foo Fighters show in Pittsburgh last night. They put on one hell of a show. Had a great turnout, and Dave was in a particularly good mood. They decided to go over the curfew, and didn't care about paying the fine. Kind of cool that there were 18,000+ fans in the house, and Dave said it was the biggest crowd of the tour so far.

    The last time I saw Dave Grohl (with Them Crooked Vultures) was a few hours before a car crash that has changed me physically and emotionally forever, as well as almost taking my life. Seeing him and Foos tomorrow night is going to bring on a flood of emotions. Not sure if I'm ready for it!

    I did. I love Pearl Jam heads and shoulders above Foo Fighters, but I liked how open the Foos were. I think it's just not Ed's style to dish which I completely respect but I would have liked to see some uncomfortable topics discussed. I did enjoy Pearl Jam Twenty though, don't get me wrong!

    The Andy Wood documentary was pretty good too. What a year!

    I saw Foo in pittsburgh two nights ago. WOW! What a show! Now I did some research and found out they generally play the same set every night, but it is a fantastic tour. They actually released an album without just one big hit but many, it was fantastic to hear the new album plus hits. Highlights were the first five songs, (Bridge Burning, Rope, Pretender, My Hero, Learn to Fly), Arlandria, Times Like These solo to full band, and of course Everlong to close. Not only that, but I caught Taylor Hawkins drumstick after the show when he threw it into the crowd, unreal. I already have it hung up on my wall :D
