dubbs Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 Going to the Foos at VP Thursday. They certainly are value for money based on how long the set goes on for. Hoping it will have cooled a little by Thursday evening otherwise it'll be hell in this heat for 6-7 hours. We've not got the best tickets but I blame Mrs D for that because she decided to buy 4 so the kids can come rather than just 2 and getting better positions. Should be an excellent night though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 On the train home from Bat For Lashes. Good God that woman has a voice like a friggin' angel. Though, eh, the less said about the spoken word poem bit and the £65 for a tarot card deck at the merch table, the better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Foo's!!! Here's hoping the service is better than recent gigs here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ran out of beer and cider on tap at the bar I'd spent 30 minutes queuing for and the usual general incompetence from the staff. I'm hoping we have a new contractor for next season. More importantly, the concert was immense and the audio was really good. Edited June 27 by MrBlack 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubbs Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Fantastic Foos gig tonight. 3 solid hours, brilliant set. Hot Milk were a good support act, Courtney not so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the catering and staff delivered the same below par performance we have to tolerate each match day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a really special moment for him. Was an awesome surprise for me too! As the legendary Dave Grohl said of him... "Some places have home town heroes.

More importantly, the concert was immense and the audio was really good. Would have to agree with this. The service was average at best. The experience at Anfield a couple of weeks before for Taylor Swift was night and day - we are a long, long way behind there... Foos were absolutely incredible, and Geezer looked like he'd ticked the final thing off his bucket list. He looked so content. More importantly, the guy can bloody play. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor-Cal Villan Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Just got back to hotel after night one of Drive By Truckers presenting their legendary (at least among the fan base ) 2001 concept album The Southern Rock Opera, which had only been played in its entirety once before this tour. Great stuff at the Fillmore in SF. My photos don’t do justice to how close I was but I didn’t try too hard. I’m not one to have my phone out much at a show, just snap a few and then put the damn thing away Any DBT fans up in here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Kings of Leon last night, always loved them but never seen them, they were top of my bands I haven't seen list, they were everything I expected, brilliant band incredible voice....sang 27 songs, maybe 10 of which they shouldn't have bothered That's why I'd never seen them, if I listed my top 10 KoL songs they played 3 of them But maybe interestingly they didn't sell out and I would say that it was a middle aged crowd, lots of husbands and wives in their mid 30s to mid 40s, no lads there whatsoever from what I could see, so their appeal is obviously not the first two albums to students having a tear up Glad I did it but unless they did a greatest hits tour and brought the early stuff out I wouldn't do it again His voice is unbelievable though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
