    by far the worst crowd i've ever been a part of but the band was fucking amazing.

    Man, that stinks. Completely opposite for me, possibly the best crowd of all the concerts I've ever been to.

    For those of you lucky enough to be seeing the Foos with The Joy Formidable in a few weeks...GET THERE EARLY! Saw TJF headline last night and they were friggin' awesome. They are perfect for a Foos show (heavy, energetic, and fun). Well worth getting there early. I am positive they will win over every crowd they play in front of.

    Good to hear!! I've heard a few Joy Formidable songs and liked what I've heard. Always a plus when the opener(s) for a fantastic band are also fantastic! Excited to hear them and Social D open!
    5 weeks, 6 days 8-)

    One of my favourite pics from the 9/26 IZOD show. Rare moment that Dave wasn't moving around like a possessed person so I managed to snap this pic.

    Have they taken out Generator from the most recent sets?? I know they were playing it for a while, looked at some of the past handful of shows and didn't see it there. DAMN if that's true! My favorite FF song, tied with Times Like These :(

    Forum last night was AMAZING. Great show - and while we were towards the back Dave had a 2nd stage way out in our back 40 that he performed on a couple of times - incl an Acoustic set with the lights up. Took a tumble running back though!

    OMIGOD was that amazing or what?!?!?!?!?! I wasn't supposed to be at tonight's IZOD show but a friend had an extra ticket and it didn't take too much convincing. Helped that I had a ride there and back to the city which was my big hang-up.

    So many highlights... Krist Novoselic playing accordion on These Days, the rising platform across from the stage, Dave talking smack to the people sitting down, This Is A Call, Everlong (my all-time favourite), crazy fan who managed to get on stage and bounced around for a bit before diving back into the pit after a guard tries to chase after him, Dave talking about how it's the first time he's seen people tailgating at their shows and how they've finally made it (or something like that). AND, the best part was NOBODY in my row shuffled back and forth to get beer or pee, so I could watch the entire show uninterrupted. What a beautiful thing.

    They played for close to 3 hours. Whole reason I originally didn't want to go tonight was because I really didn't think I needed to see them 3x but after tonight, I'm so happy I get to see them two more times at MSG and Newark!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
    I'm late on this, but I was at the Izod show too...honestly, I think it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. A lot of times I'm always slightly disappointed after seeing my favorite bands live, I really don't know why, but I walked out of that show with the biggest fucking grin ever. I was never aware that they were such talented musicians, to be pulling out long jams and solos like they did that night. The 3 hour set, the Pink Floyd cover, Krist Novoselic on stage with Dave...it was mind blowing. I was actually kind of surprised when Krist came out and Dave mentioned the anniversary, no one really seemed to know what he was talking about...but that kind of made it more special for those of us that did.

    Dave Grohl is a fucking hero.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    I was late in the piece for good tix, but wife and I were sitting on the couch, when "Rope" came on V channel.
    I turned to my wife and said - "Why the heck are we not going to this concert?". 10 mins later they're on order, and we're stoked.

    Concert at Adelaide oval will be reminiscent of PJ 2009 concert.
    Can't wait!
