Foo Fighter's Concert

Okay, this is a really late post considering this concert happened Mar 28th. For some reason, I just couldn't stop and write about it even though it was such an amazing experience. Props to Ryan for getting us some kick ass seats. I put up the setlist near the bottom for fun.

Its been stated repeatedly that the Foo Fighters are my favorite band and there really isn't any reason to go over. But I know that everyone that went had an unbelievable time. One thing that seperates Dave Grohl from others is his ability to engage the crowd. While he does use the rock cliches, there is this genuineness that comes off that is so appealing. Its really evident that the concert is about everyone having a good time. Its not something righteous like "being about the music" or anything . Its about being fucking loud and having a blast.
