Toronto VFest gig

[foogazi]

The anticipation is killing me...this'll be my 2nd time seeing them and I can't wait to hear the new songs live!

[sandsotime2]

That is nuts....but also makes me sad that I sold my T.O. tickets at face value to my old room mates. Hang on before I get yelled at I could just really use the cash. But so be it.

That is nuts for tickets

I am looking for tickets to the London Ontario show and I'm blown away so far. I don't think we can do it. With the price of gas, hotel and these tickets, holy shit!

Detroit was no big deal at all, tickets were reasonable even on Ebay. Maybe Detroiters don't care about he Foo??

[Dave T.]

This is pretty sad considering these guys are my favourite band and have been for 13 years now, but I'm not even really that excited about this show. They have started playing the same set EVERY night again which only includes 5 new songs. As for the other songs they play I've already seen them 5 or more times. I know they have to play the hits for the "casual" fan who might not have seen them before but they need to think about the hardcore fans who have been going to every show for the decade plus. I mean come on I've seen My Hero 6 times already.

I will gladly buy your tickets from you if you don't want to go ;)

[TedEdFred]

ditto!

p.s. 5 new songs is pretty standard for a band with a back catalog like the foo's have. ...having said that, i'd like to hear some older non-hits like aurora... or even Damn You Damn Everyone hahahahaha

I agree with playing Aurora....also I'd like to hear Alone + Easy Target.

[jennyroo]

ah...the ol' setlist complaints. I've been complaining about their sets for what seems like forever now, and I doubt it will EVER change. I just accept that there are certain songs I will NEVER hear live, and some that I'll have to deal with (Learn to Fly, Monkeywrench) hearing...BUT seeing Foo live is an experience I'd never give up for having to deal with a couple of shit songs.

[Dave T.]

Don't get me wrong I am still going and it will still be a great show. I'm just not as excited as I think I SHOULD be. And if they play Big Me (which they are in their current never changing set) I'm launching Mentos just for old times sake.

I 110% agree with you. I would love to hear a few of the ones that weren't such big hits. But really I've never left a Foo show without a huge smile on my face and totally understanding why I love them so much. 15 days to go.....I can't wait to be honest.

Oh yeah....Bro...no mentos please. "Those things hurt man!"

LOL whatever...if they play that stupid song I'll be throwing Mentos as well :)

Perhaps if we chew them first, they will hurt less? LOL I'M KIDDING PEEPS.

[Jaurora]

wow i havent been on here for ages lol
2 WEEKS TILL FOOS COME TO JLC!!!!!! woot!

[rob99sp]

Hahaha...So...I just met up with some girl who wanted to sell me her 12th row tickets for $200/pair. She told me this show was rescheduled twice, and thats why the tickets said NOVEMBER on them...

I told her no thanks, the tickets clearly had the wrong date on them..face value was different on them, and they looked old and grubby. Freaking scam artist. Im pretty sure these tickets were from 2 years ago, maybe the show with Bob Dylan.

Wow...

Anyways...STILL looking for 2 tickets...anyone?

[monikat]

I have 3 tickets to the Toronto ACC show... section 310, Row 9. They are e-tickets and I'm willing to sell all three or even just two for the best offer I get. I live in Sudbury and I can't make it to the show because I'm out of money, life's awesome as a student!

If anybody's interested, please email me and we can make arrangements - I'm willing to put them up on ebay and sell that way, or however. My email is mx_walczak@laurentian.ca

Thanks!

[Cammy]

Okay so my event that I was going to go to on the 22nd just got canned. I already sold my T.O tickets to a friend. So I'm in need of a pair of tickets. If anyone has a line on some I will pay and make it worth your while with something we can discuss...

msg me if anyone has a line on some....

Yeah, I totally agree with everything youve said.

Its shitty that they dont reward old school fans, but whatever. Its a shame they retired "Hey Johnny Park" that was a regular I liked seeing.

I wish all bands would be like Pearl Jam when it comes to live sets.

Anyways, Im saddened that I am not going to see the Foos at the ACC, this will be like the first time I HAVEN'T seen them in Toronto.

[NESSIE]

Hey,
Nice to see a Canadian thread on here, I just noticed it! :rolleyes: I am going to see the Foo's on the 22nd, and I can hardly contain myself! This will be my first time seeing them live! :D I have decent stand seats and I think that I will be pretty close to the acoustic stage. I am hoping that they will pull out some oldies, and play Aurora!

[TedEdFred]

one freaking week!!

[kjm]

just checked the ticketmaster site (friday @ (9:15pm) and there are tickets showing up!!! there is a god!

[Dave T.]

Hey,
I am hoping that they will pull out some oldies, and play Aurora!

Not going to happen.

P.S..... I just searched for tickets for the hell of it and there are some available for anyone interested. They are up high but it's better than nothing.

Okay......well, I was only hoping that they would play Aurora because of what Talyor and Dave said in this recent interview......

.....and try not to be so negitive. ;)

[hardrockhockey1]

I purchased side view seats on ticketmaster yesterday for the toronto show......there are still some available. i may try to get on the floor.......i'm a Kiss fan, and setlist complaints are common with them as well. many fans see multiple shows, and they rarely change their set list.......very few bands change their set lists night to night.......seems like there's a happy medium somewhere in there......certainly most bands have one, two, maybe three songs in their set that could be interchangeable.....ahhh welll, Resolve, DOA in Montreal????

Trust me you don't want to hear Resolve live it is terrible. Dave's voice just can't handle it. There is a thread in Gen Foo with a link to download a live version if you want to hear for yourself.

[Cammy]

Once again I have to thank everyone here. Since I posted that msg I've had a few people offer to help me get tickets for the T.O. show. I've now got tickets to the show and am pumped about it. A friend got into some medical trouble (wisdom teeth and his benefits only cover about half of it) So he's selling me his pair. Thank you once again to everyone here for trying for me!

Do you have floors? I'm not really excited yet but I know it will grow as the days pass...!!!

[Cammy]

No I'm in the seats. But really the fact that I'm so late trying to get tickets I was just happy to get a pair. I'm on the floor in London a couple nighst before. So it will be nice to see it both ways.

[earth_girls_are_easy]

I can get a ticket from the lovely Jennyroo for the gig on saturday, I was just wondering though when everyone is going down there or if anyone wanted to meet up?

I've never been to a gig on my own so meeting up would be pretty awesome.

[jennyroo]

I'll be in London too!!! Just found out. WOO!!!!!!! I think I will be GA but I don't know. HURRAY!

[Cammy]

Nice!!!!!! The JLC is about half the size of ACC. So no matter where you are it will be alright.

[NESSIE]

For those of you who may still be looking for tickets, the Edge radio station is giving away tickets for the Toronto show. Not sure if they are doing it all night or all week. I already have tickets to the show, so I can't be bothered to try and win tickets, but the tickets would probally be really good! I won Grey Cup tickets from this station a few months ago, and they were pretty good seats (they were worth $350.00 each!) Good luck to those who try! :)

[jennyroo]

...4 days!

[NESSIE]

I have to study for an exam that I have next week, and I can't concentrate!:( All I have been thinking about this week is the upcoming show! Sooooooo excited! :D

[sweet_thing]

Does anyone know whether Section 319 would be all that bad? I don't want to pay for tickets and then end up with an obstructed view, but I don't really care if I'm far away. If anyone has been to a show at the ACC and knows what the seats might be like, can you please let me know??

Thanks :)

[CUPIDOMAN]

It is unfortunate that the foo's don't change their setlist from night to night because they certainly have the catalog to do it. One of the things I love about Pearl Jam is that they switch up their setlist every show.

Not sure about the section, but I think it may be higher up. However, I have been to the ACC for sporting events, and no matter where you sit, you will have a good view of the show. The ACC only holds about 20,000, so it's actually not that huge of a place. You shouldn't be all that worried. :D Enjoy the show!

[Dave T.]

Just checked out the setlist for Montreal and it is the EXACT same as the last 8 or 9 shows of the U.S. tour :rolleyes:

Ya.... alot of people are kinda complaining about that. I can see if one has been to a bunch of Foo shows and they want something a little different; I can understand the frustration. However, this is my first Foo show, so I personaly could care less what the set list is like. I am just so fucking happy that I get to go! :D LOL

It's a little disappointing that everyone is getting the same set... but seriously, this will be my 9th foo show, and ill still take a generic foo setlist over any other band's show.

i think the only song i REALLY wanna hear that they wont play is Stranger Things. But hey, it could happen.


p.s. how about them lucky bastards in LA.... fuckin darling nikki?! you kidding me?! I will shit a brick if they play that in t.o.

'Shake your blood' with Lemmy would be awesome! :D

[jennyroo]

LEMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that would be SO cool....I'd have to restrain from jumping up on stage!
haha

I want them to play Stranger Things and/or Summer's End. SUMMERS END IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!! I'm SO in love with it right now!

[Cammy]

I think we all have songs that we would love to hear. I know I do. But I can honestly say as soon as those lighst go down and I hear the first note I won't care.

Looks like Dave's been sick the past few days. So hopefully he is feeling better by tomorrow.

Instead of throwing Mentos we can throw Halls with vapour action.

[sandsotime2]

Where'd you read that Cammy?

[DoubleM]

So, even though this is the "Toronto" gig thread, I am going to post my review/recap of the Montreal show in this thread. It was definitely odd not seeing the Foos in Toronto considering the previous 7 times I saw them were in TO and venues ranging from big to small. I would have loved to see them headlining their own arena gig in TO (and it may still happen) but I got floor tickets to the Montreal gig and couldnt get floors to TO.

Anyways, I was really excited for the gig which is a surprise because I'm not the hugest fan of their new album and have been disappointed by the setlists but as March 17th crept closer and closer I was getting giddy. Anyways, my friends and I walked in halfway during Against Me!'s set and I was disappointed because they already played Thrash Unreal. I saw these guys at Coachella but wasn't a fan at the time so I didn't really enjoy em much. What I saw at the Bell Centre impressed me alot. Ive downloaded their two previous albums and hope I can see them again sometime.

Now the Foos were AMAZING. Loved the double stage setup and the new songs that they played live were solid. Unfortunately they didn't play any of the new songs I really like live (Come Alive, Home and Stranger Things) but I was really impressed by "But, Honestly". It was the typical setlist that they have been playing the last couple dates so I was disappointed because there was no real surprises. Shocked that they didn't play "Keep The Car Running" because they were in Arcade Fire's "hometown" and they even name dropped the band before the triangle solo.

Anyways reading this board definitely has its perks because after "Stacked Actors" my friends and I slyly made our way to the second stage and got great spots to check out the "Acoustic" set. I'm going to try and post a link to some of the pics I uploaded, hopefully it works, but you'll see I had an amazing spot. I took 90 pics that night, which is insane because I only took like 300 pics during my WHOLE trip of Europe, it was deifnitely the closest Ive ever been in a Foo gig. Dave, of course, was hilarious as usual. Making fun of the fans who hadn't been to a Foo Fighters gig before and telling us how Nate bought his first car from his sales of LSD. Great times and easily one of my top 3 fave Foo Fighters shows.

Apparently I can make this album public by posting this link. So hopefully it works:

http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2135552&l=35bfa&id=90404456

[jennyroo]

Awesome!!! I love the pic of "you with Dave" lol....didn't I (or my ex) take one like that of you at the Opera House gig?
that was SO LONG AGO!!!!


Looks amazing. Its really weird to see Foo in a huge arena like that. I can't quite say I like it, but its good that they have a huge fan base now. (Good for them ...lol not good for people that want to see them in a small setting!)

[CraziLee]

Crap nothing is happening in the Ottawa thread and I am so excited for tonight....I intend to have some very hot photos to post....hopefully I won't end up with an elbow in the eye.

[sandsotime2]

It's gonna be great, you'll have a blast! :)

[brammyg]

so sooooooooon

[Dave T.]

LEMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that would be SO cool....I'd have to restrain from jumping up on stage!

I want them to play Stranger Things and/or Summer's End. SUMMERS END IS THE GREATEST SONG EVER!!!!!!!! I'm SO in love with it right now!

Summer's End has been my favourite on ESPG from my very first listen. The harmonies in the chorus are awesome. I would love to see this live but I have a feeling it would sort of be like Resolve. A song that sounds good on the album but one that Dave's voice just can't handle live.

I don't think so, I have some AWESOME pics from that show though. Im trying to find the negatives to get them re-developed cause Ive lost or given away alot of them.

I do remember us meeting up, I remember you staring at my shirt and was confused as to why - then I remembered I posted on the board before I went to the show.

[wattershed freak]

Amazing show, loved every second of it! Can't wait for Saturday!!! Round two YAY!

On a sadder not I did not see Jen at the concert....what the hell my concert experience was incomplete! :) I always see you there! LOL

[Cammy]

I can't speak today. My voice is shot from yelling. I was three feet right in front of Pat during the Acocoustic set. Also about that distance from Dave when he came to our side. They blew the lid off the place.......

[Blueman]

awesome, thanks! Have it All would be sweet

and haha, was dave pissed about the mentos?

Didnt seem to be. He ended up doing on a 5 - 10 minute tangent about the music video and how Pat had told him before they made it that they were going to have fans throwing mentos at the shows if they did it then about Rivers asking him if Weezer could cover Big Me on the Foozer tour. Followed by a recap of the show in Winnipeg where they started playing Big Me and dave got pelted with a pack and asked the crowd if anyone had a lighter cuz he was going to light the pack on fire which led to it raining lighters on stage.. All in all it was quite an entertaining story. and we all know how much Dave loves to have story time.

So now the question is do we bring mentos to Toronto?

No. Remember the part of the story when he said our fans wouldn't be that stupid and that throwing Mentos was so 1996? Really the whole point in telling the story was to say not to throw shit at the band. I like Big Me in the set list....lets keep that way

lol how can we NOT bring mentos to the show? I know i will be. people just need to have good enough aim to not hit any of the foo's... roadies are fair game though (sorry BeeBee) muahahahaha

Amanda!! I KNOW...i was looking for you...I bet we'll see eachother saturday!

[NESSIE]

1 more sleep!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D

[drew571]

Dave said to throw chocolate 'cause Mentos taste like shit.

This was my first concert EVER (London). Some close friends bought my wife and I tickets for our anniversary. Really impressed by the show. Sore throat from singing. We sat a couple rows back sidestage by the sound equipment. Real close except for the accoustic set. Opening acts were good, especially Against Me - LOTS of energy on stage.

[StkdActress]

My sis and I were right around the same area, about 3 rows in front of Shifty. Who, by the way, is looking GREAT these days! We're planting ourselves in front of him tomorrow too ;)

Any word on interviews or anything in Toronto, specifically the Edge??? Last time they played in Toronto they didn't put the interview on edge.ca and I didn't know about it and missed them.

Too bad they're playing basically the same set list for the whole tour, but I saw them March 3 and it was amazing - I am so stoked to see them again tomorrow - even if it is the same show. Tomorrow will be my 6th time, so stoked.

.

I don't think so. I listen to the Edge, and 'Bookie' wanted to get the guys in for an interview, but the best he was able to do was to get Taylor Hawkins to do a telephone interview yesterday. It was short, not more then 10 min.
I also pay attention to George Strombolompolous (spelling?) and both of his shows (The Hour, and the strombo show on the edge) and I have heard nothing. He is a fan of the Foo's and has said that he wants them back on his show. I have a feeling he might interview them on his radio show when the Foo's are in Vancouver. I'm just guessing though.
It's a shame though that they haven't done any interviews. :(

[Dave T.]

Less than 12 hours now until they hit the stage :)

[NESSIE]

Tonights the big night! I'm soooooooooo excited!!!!!!!!! :D

[SKP_15]

I know this is kinda late notice, but I have two floor tickets for the ACC tonight and I've had a change of plans and would really prefer to have a seat (ideally in the 100s section) so if anyone would wanna trade with me please reply (sorry if I shouldn't be posting this in this thread).

[sb_foo]

Hey I also sent you a PM but just in case here it is again. I have 2 tickets in section 107 row 18 if you would like to trade. Let me know where you would like to meet up to trade.

[SKP_15]

I just sent you a pm sb_foo. Thank you.

[jennyroo]

sold..:)

[Noopie]

Hey Jennyroo, I just sent you a pm

[pangea]

Anyone know what time foo takes the stage?

[NESSIE]

OMFG....just got home from the show @ the ACC! That was the most amazing thing I have ever seen! Rush was there; they jammed with Taylor for a bit, while Chris and Dave watched from the side of the stage. Dave was rockin out to Rush; fist pumps and all! it was awesome. Dave told a little story about when he was in Scream they were playing a gig in Toronto and that he played drums with Iggy Pop. Never heard that story before. Also started talking about 'Stompin Tom Conners".... ha ha....hilarious! After coming out for the encore, Chris did a little jog across the stage, and did a fucking cartwheel! It was fucking hilarious! Dave also starting making fun of Chris during the acoustic set, about how he can't play the guitar! LOL :D Dave made a comment to all the 'newbies' at the show...."where the fuck have you been for 13 years?" I just about pissed myself when he said that! (I am a 'newbie')
Wow....I am speechless (litterly, due to all the screaming and singing). That was an awesome show. Same set list as all the shows (except for the Rush bit). I felt it was over way to soon though, even though it was 2 hours. Dave said something like, "If we went on for 4 hours, you guys would piss yourselves because you wouldn't be able to make it to the bathroom on time" or something like that! And I have never seen Dave spit so much; it was kinda gross. :D
All in all, I am now a FOO FAN FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!! I had section 100 level seats, and they were great seats, but I should have purchased general admission floors, becusae I couldn't rock out hard enough in the stands. Well, now I know for next time!
AMAZING!!!!!!!! :D :D

[pangea]

DUDE!!! taylor didnt just jam with RUSH...THEY PLAYED FUKIN YYZ and taylor totally rocked that shit out.

that was the best show i have ever seen in my life, i have been to 5 foo shows now and that was by far the best.

[alifarka]

Anyone have a set list for the acc show?

[Fooze Fighter]

probably one of the worst foo shows I've been too. not the bands fault, they were great as always. but the floor near the stage was probably the worst concert experience I've ever had. i'm used to the moshing and pushing, but people were literally suffocating in there due to a LOT of douche bags who just NEEDED to be in the front but didn't bother getting there ahead of time.

anyways, eventually I made my way to the middle of the floor where I could enjoy the show.

btw... RUSH!!!

[Dave T.]

Anyone have a set list for the acc show?

Let It Die
The Pretender
Times Like These
Breakout
Learn To Fly
Cheer Up Boys
This Is A Call
Stacked Actors
YYZ (Taylor with Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee)
Skin And Bones
Marigold
My Hero
Cold Day In The Sun
But Honestly
Everlong
Monkey Wrench
All My Life

Big Me
Long Road To Ruin
Have It All (not played again)
Best Of You

This was honestly the best Foo Fighters show I have ever been to even with the boring setlist. Seeing Rush was fucking awesome. And seeing as how I had the advantage of knowing there would be a second stage for the acoustic set I made sure I was at the back so that I was in the front row for the acoustic set. I was literally about 15 feet away from the band. I think the best performances of the night were YYZ (obviously), Let It Die, But Honestly and All My Life. I was a little disappointed in the lack of people who knew This Is A Call and the ones who couldn't sing along to Breakout.

[NESSIE]

I was a little disappointed in the lack of people who knew This Is A Call and the ones who couldn't sing along to Breakout.

Ya, I know. I felt like I was the only one in my section that knew the words to Breakout!

[Fooze Fighter]

Ya, I know. I felt like I was the only one in my section that knew the words to Breakout!

we're a dying breed. those who've been listening since the early 90s.

i won't lie, I do miss the Foos playing to 8000 people in venues like Arrow Hall. a little more intimate and you knew everyone was a fan back then.

I agree the set list was a tad bit done, but then again, this show isn't just for the die hard fans. i got excited when they started play Aurora again early on in the UK tour, seems its all but a memory on the US tour.

[BIGphutte]

Well.... lets just say amazing concert, from what I saw... thanks to all the people pushing at the front of the floor and elbowing I just couldnt take it anymore, some of you probably saw the poor F**k on the side right when YYZ started, yeaaaa that was me, im just really glad i was able to get off the the side to do it and not get anyone. Anyway, long story short, the first guy came up to me asked if i was ok, I said yea, its just really crazy in there and i coulnt breath anymore and just couldnt take it so then another guy came and ask me to come talk to him up the stairs so we walked upstairs he asked for my ticket, asked if i had been drinking, i said no ( truthfully ) and then he proceeded to rip up my ticket, and said we cant have people making messes like that and escorted me to the door where i waited till the end for my friends. Soooooo not so good night..., what I saw was amazing but kinda disapointed in the staff at the ACC for not being very understanding at all, if i was piss drunk and stumbling maby but come on,,, i could help it: :( Wrecked my night:(

[Cobalt Blue]

Jesus christ! RUSH!... blew me away, set list could have been a bit better. But I don't complain when Rush shows up... it felt like there wasn't a lot of true fans around though. fist so few reacting to rush lol I was the only person screaming "watershed!!!" and yeah I was like the only person singing the words to Breakout, and the part of Monkey Wrench.

god I hope somebody got a bootleg. The last two Toronto shows had one I hope for god they have one of this... I mean Rush!? and Foo same night!?... 'nuff said.

this might be nit picking a little... anybody who was at last years acoustic show thinking "damn dave get a new story, heard about Iggy Pop last time" lol

Funny thing is, I'm a newbie. Starting listening to them in 2005. I'm hooked on them though! :D

That was my only gripe, but it's a small one, I was just relieved he didn't retell the Mentos story he told in London on Thursday...

I went to both and after London was slightly disappointed but last night MORE THAN MADE UP FOR IT. Finally, I got the show I was hoping for. I thought the band energy was better and they genuinely seemed more into it. Having Rush there was icing on the cake...I mean, fucking Geddy Lee, best bass player alive rocking out to YYZ with Taylor - that was damn cool.

Had a great time and made sure to get there early enough to be on the rail by the middle of the catwalk... I felt the crowd was also way better than London's - more people, more into it. Yeah, there were a lot of newbies who didn't know the words, but I don't care, I sang EVERY DAMN ONE for them! Just a great, fun rocking time. Loved it! I hope they come back soon and do either a smaller gig or if it's going to be another big damn rock show, would love to see one with a differing set - but certainly I'm glad I went to both and thought Toronto was a fucking blast!

(oh yeah, and while on the catwalk, Dave friggin' spat on my hand!)

[Megafoo4u]

hell ya! The show last night was amazing. I cant wait for next time. :)

[brammyg]

I was singing every word to Against Me! and everyone looked at me. And I was singing every word to the Foo'd and was looked at again. Amazing concert, but what do you expect at an arena show? Thousands of fans who are there, just to be there. It was still one of the best concerts I have ever been to. It was a great first concert for many, and even better one for well established fans. The band played for over 2 hours, and my voice was killing after. Hopefully next time we can see them in a smaller venue.

Did anyone else find it awkward that half the floor was empty? I thought it was ridiculous that every seat was filled but the floor was half full.

[jimmy tango]

I concur with most here - RUSH. Taylor was bouncing like a kid who just got a PS3 for Christmas after YYZ. As an old Rush fan that made the gig for me (and my buddy who's a Rush fan also and it was his birthday).

I've got one major gripe: Why such a long drawn out story pre-Big Me? We heard it at the acoustic gig but beyond that it felt like 10 wasted minutes of Dave at less than his best, banter-wise. I've always loved Dave's stage antics, but all I could think was 'that could have been 3 more tunes'. Even though that realllllllly pissed me off, it was still a wicked show, by one of the best live bands of all time. Too bad about the static setlist, but I'll take it.

JT

[dannyloinsdale13]

awesome show is there a boot anywhere that someone could pm me

[Foo_NIN]

stellar show, but I like it better when he does everlong solo.

[wattershed freak]

Ya, I know. I felt like I was the only one in my section that knew the words to Breakout!

You should have seen London - the people in my section actually did not know the words at all....and I was on the floor!

Anyways, Toronto -

5000 times better than the London show and the London show was killer.

I had the best time from start to finish. Couldn't believe it when RUSH came out - killer, I thought my boyfriend was going to have a heart attack lol. Taylor jams a little RUSH every concert...at least he finally got to play with them.

I have no words to describe my excitement and happiness over the past few days seeing the Foo twice.

[jennyroo]

I thought it was AMAZING when Rush came out!! i took a video of YYZ with my cell phone but ...well its a cell phone video! I'll post a link here when I upload it to YouTube. I also have a vid of Dave doing Everlong from London which I'll post too.

WOW. That was a GREAT show, and I am really happy he didn't tell the same Mentos story from London but then again we heard the Iggy Pop story at the Hummingbird Centre...LOL I guess he doesn't have too many stories? But whatever!
It was fun although I can't say I dig seeing them play huge arenas. There's something magical about seeing them in a smaller venue that just gets lost once its so SO massive. When i was on the floor in London i felt so far away (I didn't want to get too close, I'm afraid of mosh pits after the clusterfuck that was QotSA at the Guverment) that I didn't feel connected to the concert...during the acoustic set it was awesome b/c i was right up front but the electric Foo is where its at and it was so....far. I don't know. It was still sweet to see them twice in one week. I want them to come back!

[TedEdFred]

anyone have a GOOD vid of the rush part?

there are some on youtube already, but theyre either short or crappy quality

[Cobalt Blue]

yeah, it's a little upsetting the band is big enough to sell out th ACC. I wish it would have even fallen later in the year, I think Molson Amphitheatre is the perfect venue 90% of the time. even the acoustic show would have done alright there.

well I guess we can't really blame Dave too much for retelling that story. Hummingbird was pretty small like 2800 or so people I think. so maybe 20% of the audience had heard it. my friends and I were joking like he tells that no matter what city he's in "yeah so I was playing with Iggy Pop right here in burlingham alabama!"

Also in the future I wouldn't mind if they take Cold Day In The Sun out of the set list. it's a good song, but not one I feel the need to hear every time I see them. last night would be 4 counting the T-Hawk & the coattail riders show.

P.S. Jennyroo jealous you were on the floor (i was in section 104 not bad, but not floor) and that you saw the QOTSA Guverment show... sadly I was under aged for that show. but luckily I saw them at The Sony Centre and they're playing Copps in Hamilton in may.

[Fooze Fighter]

Did anyone else find it awkward that half the floor was empty? I thought it was ridiculous that every seat was filled but the floor was half full.

That's cause the back half of the floor was beating the first half into the front rails.

I as well was stared at by every one around me while singing to Against Me!. I didn't care though! :D
I was almost embarrased to see the floor half empty. I thought that maybe they do that for a reason? Maybe so there is a bit of a 'give' in the crowd in case it gets to full and 'pushy'? Great show regardless! I am def getting floors next time! The acoustic stage was only like 8 or so people deep! :D

EDIT: Well, after reading 'Fooze Fighter's' posts, i guess maybe it wasn't all that empty after all. Sorry you had to experience that! :(

[Ryan]

most people I know can't stand Rush.

and I never cared for them myself.

The Foos and Rage should be good at VFest.

[jimmy tango]

...When i was on the floor in London i felt so far away (I didn't want to get too close, I'm afraid of mosh pits after the clusterfuck that was QotSA at the Guverment) that I didn't feel connected to the concert...

Not so funny story - I was at that QOTSA show, and spent most of the helping my friend protect his tiny girlfriend from the horde. At one point a girl passed out in front of me so being the nice guy I dragged her out and got her to the side. As I did she came to but was leaning hard on my leg for support. Well what if she didn't wet herself and my leg all at the same time! Stupid prat was obviously on something. To top it off after I left her with security and went to wash off my leg (what could I do I just soaked it) when I came out of the washroom there she was piling back into the pit. Arrrgh.

[CrazyDavey]

Loved the show, I just thought that the set list was boring and if you want to throw some "old shit" to the fans, "This is a Call" wouldn't be my first choice, how about "Hey Johnny Park" instead?"

I felt like Dave almost talked too much, but I love his humor as always,
I know he loves the city and his fans. RUSH was awesome. I was right up against the rail the whole time in front of Chris and Pat. I kept screaming "play Generator" and "Aurora" but so much for that.

The crowd was pretty good I had no complaints.

If you want to complain about all the space on the floor you can thank the City of Toronto and its new fire regulations which is why the capacity of the floor is half full, they aren't allowed to have more then that.

I hope they come back again before the end of the year and play some different tunes.

[Cobalt Blue]

Yeah i'm also a little pissed how long myself and everybody was cheering... Dave said they'd do 4 hours lol. I was hoping they would end with Come Alive, or End Over End.. I can't wait until I get my car. it would be great to hit up other shows in the general area, like the london show or perhaps as far as Buffalo.

[pangea]

An amazing show! Too bad the ACC is terrible for acoustics.

But anyways... here's Everlong as heard from way way up in the rafters. I wonder how it sounded from the floor.

http://www.mediafire.com/?nbemxymzct1

[hardrockhockey1]

Having attended the Montreal and Toronto shows I can say that his Iggy Pop story was exclusive to Toronto. In Montreal he spoke of a border incident following the Iggy pop evening.......Montreal show rocked, the crowd was insane(although they only sold the lower bowl)However, the Toronto show was more than I could've asked for. The band rocked, Taylor was amazing playing with Rush, and I absolutely love Alex's solo work in YYZ.....Thanks guys for two memorable evenings!!!! Look forward to seeing you in upstate NY this summer.

[hardrockhockey1]

Preferably Rochester, NY!!!! By the way, Taylor sounds an awful lot like Peter Criss when he sings Cold Day in the Sun. Awesome, leading me to the point that maybe they could cover Hard Luck Woman, Black Diamond, or anything else Peter sings........FOO'd for thought.......

Wow I never realized that he does!!


And...V-Fest? Ugh.
I can't stand Festivals anymore, plus its probably on the dumb Island and will be packed with 95% bands I don't even like/know/have heard of.

I think I heard Rage is on the bill too...that MIGHT make it worth it, hopefully they'd be on the same day though. Bah.

An amazing show! Too bad the ACC is terrible for acoustics.


Compared to a lot of other arena type venues, the ACC has awesome acoustics... I thought the show sounded great from the floor and I've seen other shows that sounded good just about anywhere in the building but to each their own.

I hope they do come back this summer, but seriously, for the love of god, change up the setlist!!! I know it's harder with the arena setting, but some variety would make seeing multiple shows WAY more appealing...but I had a great weekend with seeing the Foo's twice and I saw 311 on Friday night, so it was an awesome Easter weekend (there's a band who never play the same setlist twice - but they aren't playing stadiums!)

[jimmy tango]

Can't get any sound out of your clip, Jenny.

Here's the best version I've found so far:

YYZ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1Ramu397UQ&feature=related)

Hi guys

Unfortunately I’m writing this to you from the hospital. You may have noticed I was not active in the last month; because I have been in the hospital since the beginning of February. Nonetheless I was able to persuade the doctor into letting me out Saturday night for the Toronto show. This was something I was not going to miss because of the situation.

The foos once again were phenomenal and proved that they are the ultimate rock bank. Highlights of the show for me were:
- Chris’ solo during this is a call
- The foos covering yyz
- The rock version of everlong
- And of course Dave’s banter about stompin Tom and how we owe an extra $10 for seeing rush

You will be happy to know I have a recording of the show and will get it out to you fellow fans as soon as possible, after I’m released. Hope you all had a great time at the show, I know I did.

Cheers
Paul

There's a new V-Fest thread, but I can't let this thread die. Its been with us for so long!!

Foo are confirmed for V-fest...its in Sept. here, but they are playing with...like Bloc Party and a bunch of other bands I really couldn't care less about. Bah. :( and $90?!??! I paid $100 to see Foo pay at Bayfest a few years back and they only played for like 45mins. I was extremely ticked off....not to mention the 'VIP' section that I thought I was getting was like a friggin CAGE and you couldn't even see the band!!!

Oasis is the other headliner, so NOT Rage as was rumoured....I like Oasis but I've seen them before.......I'm torn.
I don't know about this V-Fest. Plus getting to that damn Island....BAHHHHH.

[TPS11]

Just wanted to add my .02cents

AMAZING show.

During the acoustic set Pat Smear reached down shook my hand and gave me a pick. It was after but honestly I believe. I've been going through all the Youtube videos to try and see it but can't find that song anywhere.

I saw them on Thursday in London and Saturday. Both shows were out of this world.

Way to go guys!

damn... thats a shame, I would have killed to see Rage and Foo in the same day. I was dieing to see Rage on their previous dates, but none of my friends had passports, so I couldn't get anybody to come with.

sounds like V-Fest last year. few dozen bands I don't want to see and one I do. glad I didn't go last year, I heard the Pumpkins perfromance wasn't that great.

I know what you mean. As much as I'd like to see them again I don't want to shell out almost $100 because I only like one band and they will probably only play for like an hour.

do festivals usually cost that much? because like compared to 'SARS Stock' being like $25 for 12 hours of music with huge bands... pretty pricey.

[Dave T.]

I don't know. I generally don't go to festivals so I'm not sure. I'd rather pay to see a band I love play for 2 hours then maybe see that same band play for 45 mins or an hour and a bunch of other bands I have no interest in.

My son just shelled out $350, including $60 camping fee, for a three day music festival in Pemberton. $25 is a steal for any 2 hour show, let alone 12 hours of music.

[wattershed freak]

So, I was looking at the pics from London on the main site and saw a pic of the set list...Have It All was part of the encore but they didn't play it :( :(

i was just going to ask the same question!!
my friend and i were wonderin why they didnt play it cuz we noticed it on previous set lists from the pics before.
C' mon Dave you weren't that sick and we werent that bad of an audience lol

did they play it at the ACC?

No they didn't but it was on the setlist again. I was close enough to the acoustic stage that I could see Taylor's and it was supposed to be between Long Road To Ruin and Best Of You.

[kevin634]

Did a recording of the Toronto show ever surface? Because that would be awesome to have...best show i've ever been to.:)

[NESSIE]

Has anyone found a clip of Chris doing the cartwheel? (after they came back out for the encore, he did a little jog then broke out into a cartwheel. Dave was like WTF? ) LOL Hilarious! Still can't find anything on youtube. :(

[kevin634]

Fooness,
This is the only thing that I could find, but unfortunately the person in front of the camera's head gets in the way RIGHT as Chris does the cartwheel so you just see him land around 2:40ish. What timing lol. I can't post the link but you can just go to youtube and type in foo fighters toronto encore and it should be the first thing that shows up.

Found it .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lbtjxAurxI ...and your right, not very good. I'm sooooo sad. I REALLY want to see that again.

[anotherlongquietnight]

fyi: he did the cartwheel at the london (ontario) show too. maybe someone got it for that encore?

[josher21]

did a toronto recording ever surface? i would be very interested...

[Cobalt Blue]

if you check a few pages back I think somebody posted what they called "a terrible quality recording" but somebody said they had a good one they haven't got around to putting up yet. so we're waiting patiently :)

[Cammy]

I hate to be a pain in the ass but is there any way someone could load that to Mega upload or a site like that. I only have a comp at work and they won't let me access those sites.

Thank you in advance

[wattershed freak]

Thanks for posting the show. The torrent isn't downloading for me but I'll keep trying.

[partic]

If there is anyone out there who has/ has found the London,Ont. show, please post!

[jennyroo]

bumpypoo.

[Cammy]

Okay. So I'm looking for a good Foo poster for my office at work. I know there is one of the four of them in the Foo store. But they are just standing there. I'm looking for a good one of them rockin! Anyone have any idea's where I could find this? I've looked a bit online but can only goof off at work so much.

I have one thats just Dave rocking the hell out on his Dan Armstrong (the clear guitar). I think it's taken from the anywhere but home DVD. anyway if that would be to your liking I got it at a unniversity poster sale in Hamilton, but I'm told the sale is constantly going around to different schools in southern Ontario. might be something to keep an eye out for.

[Cammy]

Nice! Yeah that would be great. Only problem is that school is months away. I'm in T.O Sat for the Coheed show so I might head to that poster spot on Younge st if I have time. Hopefully they have something good.

[Cammy]

So when does the count down to V fest start????

[NESSIE]

So when does the count down to V fest start????

NOW!!!! :D 53 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Britt15]

NOW!!!! :D 53 more days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't realize it was so soon!

I am so excited for the foos and the kooks, I just hope they are not on at the same time.

[NESSIE]

I'm looking forward to the Constantines and Against Me!. :)

[NESSIE]

btw.....does anyone know excatly where the festival/stage(s) will be set up on the Island? I've been to the island numerous times (I worked at the amusement park as a teen), but never been there for a festival. I was thinking maybe on Olympic Island cause thats where Caribbana (sp?) is held.

Did anyone go last year?

Here is a map of the island (http://www.toronto.ca/parks/pdf/island/toronto_island_map.pdf)

I was thinking maybe it will be held on the spot of land above 'blue dot' #4; where the washrooms are?

Christ, I'm already planning my day there :rolleyes: lol

[Britt15]

I have no idea. I have only been to the RCYC about 5 years ago. So I don't remember the island at all (I am assuming it is that island....:confused: )

But I have been planning my weekend there ever since I heard they were coming. I am dragging a friend with me and we are going to go shopping since Toronto has way better shopping than London.

LOl Yes, that would be the same island! :)

I was just coming down from my high from the show at the ACC when this festival was annouced! I've thought about this everyday since! YAY!!! :)

[NESSIE]

I'm not amused :(

To get back on topic.....

47 more days!!!!!!!!!!!! Wooooooooooo! :D

[Britt15]

So soon!

Do you think they are going to announce many more bands?

[Cammy]

So soon!

Do you think they are going to announce many more bands?

Full V Fest line up is announced www.vfest.ca

I must say that it is a strong line up on the Saturday. I saw The Kooks about a month ago at the Kool Haus and it was a geat show. Against Me! will be killer as well. Then Bloc Party and The Foo. A solid lineup to say the least. Now lets just hope it doesn't take forever to get on a ferry after the Foos wrap up.

Oh, it will! :(

I plan on getting to the docks pretty early in the morning to avoid the insane lines. Apparently, last year the wait was about 4 hours! :eek: The ferries run about every 1/2 hour or so. Not sure if they can run any quicker then that due to the small harbour that they run in.
I'll have to make a bee line straight to the docks after the show, as I'm hoping on a plane early Sunday morning to go to Denver to see the boys at Red Rocks! YAY!

[Britt15]

Ah, it is the full line up then. It is going to be a really good day!

I wanted to go see the Kooks when they were in Toronto although I couldn't get there or get anyone to go with me! Shocking, I know!

[Cammy]

Too bad, you missed a very good show. I would reccommend that everyone see them.

[Cammy]

Less than a month!!!

Shouldn't we change the thread name again?

[DoubleM]

I'll work on getting the name changed again. Would have probably done it sooner if I knew I was actually going to this gig. Lollapalooza kind of killed me for the cash situation and seeing Radiohead 2 times this past week also did it too.

I'll talk to the Mods and hopefully I can find a way to VFest.

[NESSIE]

Woooooooo!!!!!! 19 more days till V-Fest! :D

[Footernity]

Fuck yeah! I'm road trippin for this one!

[DoubleM]

All the Canadian Foo boarders "Thank You", Jill.

[NESSIE]

Well, I guess the thread I started is somewhat pointless now :( ;) :) No one was posting in the other thread anyway! lol

Awesome for getting the title changed! :)

15 more days!!!!!!!!!

[Cammy]

Countdown is on!!

Just something i have found out that I figured I would share. As I'm sure we're all aware Metallica is releasing a new album. Because they are so huge they wiill do a long form special instead of doing 6 million interviews. The best of it is who is doing the interview. Dave and Taylor will be interviewing the guys from Metallica. So this should be interesting to say the least.

Where did you find this out? Metallica ain't going to be in Canada for VFest. Their in Europe about to finish the 3rd leg of their European Summer Tour. Yes Tenacious D who has connections to Foo are at the last 2 gigs Leeds and Reading. Dave Grohl in England I doubt it. I should be over in Europe but I had an emergency to attend this week.

You're right Metallica is in Europe. But I have a feeling this might have been recorded a while ago. You're just going to have to trust me on this one. It is happening.

[jennyroo]

Amazing!!! AND yay for this thread being revived.

I don't think I'll be attending V-Fest....I don't like fests and I've already seen Foo twice this year and the fest-set-list is probably the exact same but without the acoustic stage thingy.

I hope I'm right LOL.

[leafsguy]

Hey Jenny, you better hope they don't play Aurora or Hey, JP!

It should be good, my brother & his buddy have VIP & Backstage passes... I'm jealous! I've told him to tell Dave (if he meets them) that I'm a huge fan and I'm disappointed I couldn't get backstage... hope it helps...

[The Return of Brad Nut]

Dave Grohl was at the Metallica show at the Wiltern Theatre on May 14th . However in the SoWhat magazine. a.k.a. SpiderDan saw Dave back in t he hallway around the dressing room. Not sure if it was before the gig or during soundcheck or after. Only time I know Dave was close to Metallica.

Looks like Dave Grohl will interview Metallica LIVE September 4th on radio's throughout the United States to debut the new Metallica album Death Magnetic. I think that Dave will make a joke about his comments about the album back in late April/beginning of May.

[jennyroo]

That's going to rule...the new Metallica song kicks ass surprisingly!!

[Cammy]

I'm interested to hear the interview and the new Metallica record. I like the new Metallica song "The Day That Never Comes".

Hold on? Jenny you're not going to a Foo show in T.O?? Colour me shocked!!

I KNOW...its the first time I'll ever knowingly miss a Foo show in Toronto.

I just can't spend all that money to see them when I know the exact setlist (well...come on why would they change it for this?) and I've seen them twice this year...maybe I need a little break :(

I understand. Just don't have that day after regret. Truthfully have you ever walked out of a Foo show saying that it wasn't worth every penny? Figure I would peer pressure you grade nine style.

[The Return of Brad Nut]

That's going to rule...the new Metallica song kicks ass surprisingly!!

Which song? There are 2 studio versions out off Death Magnetic. TDTNC and My Apocalypse. Cyanide was released but as a live track from livemetallica from the Ozzfest show and half of the 3rd leg Summer European shows.

TDTNC is the one I was referring to, but I have since heard My Apocalypse and I dig that one too!!

Cammy--yeah...i know....its true they are always worth it, but if they were playing their own proper show i'd go....V-Fest? Bah. I don't know or could care less about ALL of the other bands on the bill!! if you wanna take me for free i'd consider going....LOL :D

Nice I can take my time and get there which is nice. I really only want to see Against Me!, Bloc Party, The Kooks and The Foo. Those set times work out great. Looking forward to it. Let's just hope that the Ferry ride isn't to bad after the Foo's play.

they did 8:15 - 10 at the baltimore one

i'm also excited to see the weakerthans and oasis on sunday

10:30 maybe. The park closes at 11:00. :( ;)

The park doesn't close at 11pm, that's just the noise curfew. They'll play till 11pm.

[NESSIE]

I'm pretty sure it does (on a regular night anyway) as the last ferry to leave the Island is at 11pm.

However, I'm sure that the City extends this time during events/festivals on the island. :) So maybe they will play untill 11pm. :D

:eek: I would just die! I doubt that they will do a secret gig though :( I am keeping my fingers crossed and listening to the edge constantly, just in case!

When QOTSA where here a few months ago, the edge let it be known that the guys were playing a secret gig 4 days before it was held! ....but I missed the annoucement by a few hours, and by then it was sold out :mad:

The edge would be the best bet for info! Where do you think they would play if they were to play a secret gig?

Man I can't wait! 3 days after the Show at the ACC back in March, this show was annouced. I've thought about this almost everyday since then! lol :D

Let's just hope the weather cooperates for us and that's it's not too hot or that it dosen't rain (which it might :( )


YAY!!!

If anyone is coming in to Toronto from outside of the city, this (http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll25/nessiefoo/random/foo.jpg) is what is plastered all around the downtown core! :)

[NESSIE]

Ya, I had standing. Although it wasn't because I was slow at getting tickets. It was my first Foo show and wasn't sure what the crowd was going to be like. Being 5 foot 2 inches, I didn't want to getting 'stepped on'. lol
Little did I know when I bought the tickets, there was going to be an acoustic set up :( . I would have gone for floors if I knew that.

I will get floors from now on anyway. The crowds were pretty tame. :)

Are you headed to VFest?

Little did I know when I bought the tickets, there was going to be an acoustic set up :( . I would have gone for floors if I knew that.

I will get floors from now on anyway. The crowds were pretty tame. :)

Are you headed to VFest?

so you had a seated ticket then? lol im little confused here. anyway ur still lucky enough to see their rock & acoustic set!!! i missed my chance last time they came to toronto while they were doing acoustic stuff with Bob Dylan. I moved up here from Windsor like 2 years ago and back in Detroit getting a ticket for Foo Fighters wasn't that hard at all lol.

well, i might. my friend was supposed go with me but he backed out :/ oh well foo will come back soon and hopefully the price will be cheaper than vfest lol.

Why is that confusing? They sold two types of tickets for the ACC show; floors and stands. I had stands. I never said I had floors. :)

[z_911]

yeah i will be taking the train to union station.. my guess is would take the ttc down there like most people.. what time are you going at? what is your name?

I know festivals can be a bit rougher, but I don't care! I'm going to try and get right up front for this! Even if I have to stand there all day! :D

that is always hard to do.. going to the washroom, the heat, food..

what time do you plan on trying to do this?

[NESSIE]

z_911:
I plan on getting there pretty early. I'm meeting up with "Melly-foo-ous" at around 10am :) I can't wait to meet another board poster! I would like to start making my way to the front anywhere between 2-4. Only becasue I want to see the Constantines and Against Me! as well. We'll see what happens.
I hope the weather clears up (it's raining a bit right now) and that it won't be too long of a day. I'm bringing a small bit of food with me so I won't waste my time standing in lines.

I'm sooooo dam excited!!!!! I can't believe I'm going to be seeing them again in 19 days! :)

Wow!!! Today will kick all sorts of ass!! lol

I'll post tonight with set lists and pics!

[Britt15]

V fest tonight!!!!

Does anyone know if we can bring cameras?

Edit: I looked on the website... you can.

Oh ya! I'm bringing extra batteries just in case!

What time are you headed down? I'm waiting a bit now, due to the weather.

[Britt15]

I am in London so we are leaving soon. We will be there about 12 but probably won't get to the Island until 1. We didn't want to stay over night last night.

So excited!

awesome. maybe i will try and make my way up front too. are you aiming for front and centre?

i can't get a hold of my friend who i am going with right now.. not impressed..

[NESSIE]

that is always hard to do.. going to the washroom, the heat, food..

what time do you plan on trying to do this?

I'll probably be getting there for about 1-1:30. If you see a short 5 foot 2 girl with shoulder length dark hair in jeans and an orange tank/ dark green hoody and balck converse, come and say Hi! :) I might be doing some of this by myself. :( lol

EDIT { Yes, I'll be aiming for front and centre!

if i had known about this earlier i might have tried to meet up with you.. do you live in toronto? i could possibly be down at union station around 1.. i've sorta given up on my friend.. i have no idea where he is.. if you wanna meet up i'm down.. i don't wanna go down alone.. that's if you haven't left yet and are down for meeting up.. are you going tomorrow too?

[jennyroo]

sooo..?

[NESSIE]

That was the most amazing thing I have EVER seen!!!! Holy crap! I was able to "hug a barrier" as they say! Front row, on Chris's side (of course) WOW!

Here's the set list. Pretty sure all is in order!

1. All My life
2. Times Like These
3. Learn to Fly
4. Cheer up Boys
5. Young Man Blues (they extended this song for a long time= awesome!)
6. Long Road to Ruin
7. Stacked Actors
8. Let it Die
9 Breakout
10. Skin and Bones
11. Marigold
12. My Hero
(intorductions)
13 Cold Day in the Sun
14. Everlong
15 Monkey Wrench
16. The Pretender
17. Best of You (Encore)

Amazing show!!!!!! Pretty sure dave was drunk from the get go! lol He climbed up onto the side of the stage with guitar in hand. I got an excellent shot of him, as he was directly in front of me! If he fell, he would have landed on me and 'Melly-foo-ous'. lol I'll post pics later!

Not bad getting to the Island, but it took 2 hours standing in line for the ferry back to the mainland! DAVE, YOU OWE ME A DRINK IN VEGAS FOR THIS!!! lol

'Melly-foo-ous' was awesome! We had lots of fun!
I never thought I would get that close! I still can't believe it!!!! Chis was super adorable! Came out wearing a suit jacket! <3 :)

Before Againt Me came on, I looked over past the gates and I saw Pat roaming around and I flipped. I don't think Melly-foo-ous ever saw anyone run so fast! I misjudged my timing, though and couldn't snag a pic of him. :(

Super show!!! Best show I have seen them do in a long time! Only seen them 2x, but seeing all the recent youtube clips and whatnot of recent shows, this show seriously kicked ass!!!! Dave was full of more energy (ie booze ;) ) then I have seen in a long time!!!!

Can't wait to see them again in 18 days!!!

[Dave T.]

YAWN! I'm so glad I decided to skip this. I mean other than the cover they didn't play any different songs than in March.

I'm glad you had fun though. I wasn't there but I would guess that Stacked Actors is in the wrong place in your setlist. It would probably be after Breakout and before Skin And Bones.

[Britt15]

Nessie I was really close to you! At the beginning I was about 5 meters back from the barrier but somehow ended up right in front of Chris. It was a good show although my feet are purple from people jumping on them! Which is expected, I guess.

Did you see Jeremy Piven??? He was rocking out, it was so funny to see.

Thanks for the review. I'm in sort of a state of shock being as this is the first time in awhile I havent gone to a Foo gig that was in my vicinity.

Also, Piven was in the crowd??? I guess everyone is in town for TIFF right?

[Britt15]

He was on the side of the stage. I got a few poor pics of him. I will post them later.

[Jodie]

Holy crap, Jeremy Piven was there?! I loooooove him!

[jennyroo]

phew...sounds like i didn't miss much except for a shitty wait back to mainland. Ok! I'm good. LOL.

I'm glad you all had a great time though!

[NESSIE]

It's too bad you couldn't make it! I'm telling you, the energy that Dave was giving off was absolutley insane! I haven't seen him get that 'fiesty' in quite a while. :) Anyway, I had a super fun time regardless of the setlist!

The placement of the songs could very well be wrong. Melly-foo-ous and I did that from memory after the gig. :D We were to freaked out during the show that I'm surprised we rememberd any of the song order at all. lol

[earth_girls_are_easy]

That was quite quite fun.

What the frick was with all crowd surfing though. I hate crowd surfing.

There was a lot of crowd surfing! Not as much as I expected though. Where bouts were you? No 'surfers' passed over me though, as I was a bit off to the side. I was standing directly behind the camera guy with the crane thingy that was sweeping over the stage. :) (who got in the way of a few of my pics :()

Here are a few better shots that I took:

This is my new fave picture ever!!!!! After this, Dave turned around and simulated a 'sexual act' with the scalfolding. lol I wish I would have filmed this instead. Oh well! I never laughed so hard!
