So I went to see the 'Foo's last night at Wembley Stadium and i have to say, it was the greatest gig i have ever been to. The Futureheads and Supergrass as support was alright. But, Dave and Co. played amazingly well. They said there goodbyes and everything and played All My Life, which i have to say was SO good. They left the stage, but came back! BUT, this time he brought with him John Paul Jones and Jimmy friggin Page! Excellent encore playing Led's classic tracks: Rock N' Roll and Ramble On. Then to end it all played Best Of You. Truly epic night. So to add something to the thread, who here is a fan and have you been to any of there gigs? Oh and i have to say sorry to the people that went to the Foo Fighters on the Friday because you missed out on ing Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones!

I am going to see them in July and I'm pretty excited about it.
How was Supergrass? I've never heard of them but know they are still supporting the Foos in July.

There an English band who were quite popular over here during the 90's but have since lost media attention. But they still have a fairly large fanbase.

I'd love to go and see them, but thje only times that they will ever be in Scotland is like once every 4 years, and only at the SECC, which is the only big hall in Scotland

Like my buddy said, if Dave Grohl likes them, they're probably alright.

As much as I use to love the Foo's, this is hilarious.

They're on the top of my list of bands to see. Unfortunately, they aren't coming anywhere near me this summer. I was really hoping their summer tour would be a bit more extensive, as I would have been willing to travel out of state - just not quite as far out of state as I'd have to to catch a show.

They're the best thing about Kurt Cobain dying.

They've been my favorite band since I was 8, back in 1997. I have all of their CD's and went to the show when they played in Chicago in February. Greatest day of my life!

I've seen them twice, once in September '05 in Tampa, and then last September in North Carolina. The second time I saw them was better (probably because I was in the pit) but they tore it up. The inclusion of "Aurora" made it so much better.
The only problem is they have so many singles that they include them all and gets less of a chance for rarer songs. And I wish they'd retire "Stacked Actors" but I guess it's a staple. Still, no real complaints, incredible live band. I'm jealous they rocked out with Led.
