The Foo's club shows have been very long affairs......the HBO screening is an hour, and then they usually play for 3 hours! Great night! Good luck to everyone trying for tickets.

If the Foo play for 3 hours at Fenway my wife may never go to another show with me again.

She would prefer a nice 90 minute set after the 3:20+ spectacle we witnessed in Denver in October!

I say this with the utmost respect as a music lover; maybe you should find something else to do with your wife, and go to concerts without her!

Haha! Fair enough, but when it involves a mini-vacation (like flying from Boston to Denver for 5 days) I would be looking for a new wife if I DIDN'T take her!

I have given her the option of going to the Foo @ Fenway, (it's ten minutes from our house) but I think she will pass, which will probably be best for all parties concerned!

LOL OK, as long as she's a'ight in other ways I used to bring friends who weren't big fans to shows, so I could literally feel your pain while reading your post. Now, I only invite people if I know we're compatible for shows.

You could still take her on mini-vacations, but maybe she can go to the spa while you're at a show! Win-win!

It's all good, she's seen PJ with me in Montreal, Brooklyn, Hartford, Wrigley & now Denver, she's been a great sport! (I'm pretty fortunate to have a girl who enables this obsession..... She likes PJ, but not as much as me)

I'm a lucky man considering what she puts up with.

Fav Sonic Highways episode so far?? I'm going to go with New Orleans, learned the most and thought it was fascinating. Plus Grohl was hilarious. Also loved Seattle bc it was Seattle

I would pick the first episode just because I like the song the most....Seattle was good. I'm impressed with this series as it is really informative.

I'm trying to get into the Foo Fighters. I own none of their CDs or vinyl. I heard Stacked Actors on Sirius a year or so ago and liked that much more than the stuff on radio.

I just can't get into them for some reason.

Loved Seattle, obviously. I think I learned the most from Nashville. I really liked Chicago and DC too.

My favorite scene is from LA when Taylor was freaking out about the guitar solo. I forget the guy's name, but as he's playing it, Taylor is sitting on the couch in the background and just getting his mindblow. I think around the 32 min mark? It was the funniest/coolest thing I have ever seen out of all the episodes.

The Seattle part about Dave's old recordings I thought was really inspirational too. I would love to start writing, and seeing that really makes me think I could give it a good shot and maybe get something halfway decent out of it. )

I've fallen a bit behind on the series, so haven't seen em all yet, but I enjoyed the DC one the most so far. I went to college near DC, so the whole music scene and the evolution of the city fascinates me. I remember during sophomore year, which was rough for me, listening to DC punk for the first time, and reading up about different people and bands, many of whom were featured in the DC episode. Got to learn a lot about go-go too, as my senior year I worked with a photographer who continues to work on a big project interviewing and photographing go-go staples. Beyond that, my first FF show was in DC in 2011, a show that means the world to me, I got to meet Dave in DC last year at a Sound City screening, and finally got to see the show at 9:30 Club (that place means a lot to me) featured in the episode, front row. So that episode was super cool for me to watch. For me, FF and DC are just synonymous.

Anybody in NYC looking for tix for tomorrow, act fast (and creatively)...

^^just saw that too

I heard that there's already around 150-200 people on line at Irving plaza already. Not sure if my wife and friend should even try at this point since they can't get there till around 1. Should of known the no line ups till 3 would never hold true.

Yeah, I have been monitoring the FF MB the past few days so see how it was going to play out...I have today off of work, but I can't get there until 2 or so. If they were adhering to the "no line before 3", I was going to give it a try, now probably not worth it. Wish they had just sold tickets on-line! We lucked out a few years ago with a Green Day show.

But if they do make them leave, there will be a couple of hundred angry people milling about, and I don't want to deal with that. I know there would be people rushing at 3PM, but add a bunch of entitled people on top of that...not for me.

Exactly, If I was trying for tickets and they didn't allow lineups, I would be essentially 'pacing' the block. This is probably the show with the biggest draw to get to since there is so many people within distance to get to it. Hell I considered it and i live in MD )
