Foo Fighters Follow Up (and Green Shirts Are For Pimps)
OH MY EFFING GAWD. That was a damn good show.
I am WIRED right now. The Foofighters played for 2 1/2 hours. That doesn't count the 2 opening bands either. For a while it sort of felt like Dave's Show and Oh By The Way Here Are The Rest Of The Foos, but when the circle stage descended (surprised everyone), it turned into more of a band performance.
Dave used a total of 5 different guitars, 4 of which I saw. A big blue electric one, a little blue electric one, a big black acoustic one, and then a big black electric one. My kid is cringing because he knew what each one was and told me in detail, but I don't care. :) (Shhh! Don't tell'im I said that!) I want to say it was his daughter who brought out the last one for him, but I don't know how old she is.
My favorite part was that circle stage, that came down from the ceiling, halfway thru the show, that plopped itself down "right in front of the shitty seats!" (Dave's comment!). Half the show was performed there, and it was up close.
Sorry these are so crappy. I forgot my camera.
Here is my view of the main stage (intense, highly played up set):
Here is my view of the circle stage (mostly acoustic, mellow set):
And here are a couple of really bad videos. (Vox is pixelating them somehow? They look fine on my Mac.) The first one (Hero) will give you a good idea of that circle stage and how the shitty seats became the good seats when the light comes up.
Dave is awesome. Foofighters were awesome. They played hard and long and that always counts. :) Good band to see live. Out of all the bands I've seen in the past few years, this is one of my favorite live performances.
Now I'm tired. G'night! :)
P.S. I also let my son wear his "Green Shirts Are For Pimps" shirt which I let him buy during a weak moment. He loves that damn shirt. Damn Steve & Barry! Guys keep coming up to him and high five him. Complete strangers!
P.P.S. I almost had to deal with having Rude Mom tag along (she was there, trying to get tickets, because we were going), but I managed to get out of it. I told her it was a mom and kid thing and we were going off to spend some "quality" time together. My kid was mad at me (he wanted to hang out with his friend) until I pointed out that Rude Mom also brought along her ex-boyfriend, the one who used to beat her kid up and tried to kill himself by hanging himself last summer. My kid is not a big fan of that guy. Why Rude Mom lets him being even 200 feet of her kids is beyond me. But he sure as hell ain't coming near mine.
