    Anyone know how limited the view is behind the stage? Better question, what's the stage set-up? Can you see from behind the stage?

    Nevermind, I bought them anyway. I'm in the building and have never seen them before. Still should be fun. :D

    Suziemay,

    Verizon Center - DC

    Neat! Was hoping it wasn't Prudential Center because there were some awesome seats showing up on TM this morning :D

    nice to see my two favorite bands have the same fans ;)

    if you can get tickets, do go see the Foos play live..they are amazing! I've seen them a lot this year, and there's not too much setlist variation, but the energy is great and they're a lot of fun!

    Have you seen them back to back? I'm seeing them 2 nights in a row, and already saw them in September. I know they don't vary their setlist much but I'm hoping it will still be awesome!

    Yup, a few times actually...did you see them in East Rutherford in September? :) Their setlists are very similar, if not identical (though they might have interesting guests sometimes), and I wish they'd mix it up a bit more, but it didn't spoil any of the live experiences for me. I enjoyed it very much every time I've seen them play.
    Oh, and the US definitely gets better FF setlists than Europe. The shows are longer, leaving more room for songs from the new record or covers.

    Yeah! I was at the IZOD East Rutherford show, purely by chance. Probably one of the best concerts I have ever been to. I would go as far as to say top 5 including PJ shows :shock: They played almost 3 hours, I can't believe how much energy Dave and Taylor have. Unbelievable. Love Pat Smear too but I couldn't really see him from where I was sitting.

    I went to that show too, it was my first time seeing them in the US...very special mood, and Dave seemed to truly enjoy it too, talking about how he's made it now that people are tailgating at his shows. :D Definitely in my top shows list as well...but I've not seen PJ yet. :oops:

    Wow, you're in for a real treat then! As good as that Foo show was, PJ shows are just on a different level altogether, so go see them next time they tour near you! Or even if they are not near you :lol::lol:

    So at halftime at our football game today (UMD), our marching band played both Walk and Bridge Burning. Never thought I'd hear that! Actually Bridge Burning wasn't half bad!

    I'm sure that on Friday the Foos might sound just a liiiiittle bit better than the Mighty Sound of Maryland :lol:
