Toronto VFest gig

[Britt15]

I know I was getting sick of the crowd surfing too. Mainly because I am not strong enough to hold anyone up and almost had someone fall on me.

I posted a few pics in the photo section but here are some more.

It took me about 20 takes to get a decent one of Pat Smear. He stays in the back a lot. But really fun to watch!

I am so happy that I decided to only go for the one day. I don't think I could stand waiting for the ferry again.

[earth_girls_are_easy]

did anyone else notice Richard Branson was there at the side watching them play?

[Britt15]

did anyone else notice Richard Branson was there at the side watching them play?

I did and I tried to get a photo but they all turned out blurry. I didn't recognize anyone else who up on the side though (other than Jeremy Piven!!!!!)

No I didn't! I heard the corwd go nuts at one point before the Foo's came out, but I couldn't make out who they were yelling at. :)

Very nice pictures! You were not that far from me! :)
I love your sig btw! I have that whole thing on tape!!! But I'm having trouble uploading it because it's 12 min long (My Hero + Intro's) Any idea on how I can 'split' the video into two?

[NESSIE]

Here are a few video's that I uploaded to Youtube. I have a few more, but it takes I while. I'll upload more tomorrow.

Times Like These. This is pretty shakey, as I was getting knocked around. It's also not the whole thing. You'll see why! lol This was also the first time Dave came to our side, so everyone freaked!
Sorry, but you can hear me singing a bit :p As well, you can hear me laughing and saying "oh my god"....that's when I had to stop filming. lol

For those who missed it you missed a great show. Yes it was a set list that we saw in 2005, but still a great show. It will be the last time we see them for a few years.

What a nightmare to get off the island. The two hour wait just to catch a ferry was def. a low part of the evening. But would I do it again to see Against me! & the Foo? Hells yeah! Only two ferrys running people to and from the island which was not near enough. But so be it.

Okay just one thing I have to get off my chest. I understand that people are shorter than others and it sucks at a show like that when you are short. I'm a 6'0" tall guy. So normally I don't have a problem seeing the stage (sorry for anyone who is caught behind me). But when you decide to get up on someones shoulders and stay there for half the show you block many other peoples view of the show. Get up there take the pic that you want, scream at whomever or show your saggy milk bag tits. Great !get that done and get the fuck down! I spent half the show trying to look around some stupid broad that was too fucking dumb to realize that there were thousands of people behind her trying to see as well. You ask why I didn't just move? Good question. If I could have I would have. But it was rather packed. Others around me agreed that it was stupid that she was up there. I get that she wanted to see, but when you do something like that think of maybe someone elses expense. Quick being so fucking self centred. I'm pretty sure that it was no one on this board and this rant is not aimed at you guys. I just have to say it. Thank you for putting up with this.

[EllyPirelly]

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'.

:D

^^Nice!

Great pics, thanks for sharing :) .

[leafsguy]

Great show! Dave was on fire! His jokes were hilarious.

I taped the show (audio). It'll be up in the next week probably.

[Britt15]

The two hour wait just to catch a ferry was def. a low part of the evening.
I had to drive back to London after the show. I didn't get back here until 4:30! I was cursing Branson the whole way home.

I wanted to seriously punch some people there too. Two girls almost got in a fight right in front of me. One girl was getting pissed that she was getting pushed :confused:. Then before the Foos came on, there was a girl and a guy who were so drunk that they could barely stand up. Some people are morons.

Ya, I know. I saw someone get carried out before the Foo's came on. must have been the same person you saw. There were these 2 asshole guys trying to scam thier way to the rail. Some girl behind us threatened to call security on them, and they knocked it off. They were smoking and holding thier smokes up in the air, and the ashes were falling on peoples heads. Fuckers.

The wait for the ferry was insane. We stuck around the stage for a bit because we knew that even trying to run for it would be impossible. I tried to get a set list, but Sean and Beebee didn't pay me any attention while screaming thier names and yelling for a setlist. lol :p ha ha Gotta give me credit for trying!

We got to the ferry line at 11:30pm and we didn't get on the fucking thing till 1:15am. It was freakin cold too! I got home at 2am. Thank god I live close. If I had a boat I could of taken that, as I live near Woodbine beach! I could have made some serious money shuttling people back! lol

I would totally do all that over again though! :D

[Cammy]

Yeah it wasn't a fun drive back to London for me as well. It was 4 AM when I finally got back to my place. But I would do it all again.

What really sucks is thanks to the D bag that pushed Noel on Sunday our London Oasis show has been postponed to Dec 15th. At least it wasn't cancelled. But I was still pretty pumped to see them. I guess I'll just have to wait. I just want to know how at any time did this guy not come to realize that jumping on stage and pushing someone in the band was a bad idea? If he dives into the crowd they tear him apart. If he stays on stage some roadies get to let go on him. It's just not a great idea. What if this happend to Shifty? or Nate? I feel bad for the Oasis fans that got there show cut short thanks to one moron. People are idiots.

I would have hunted them down and killed them! :)

I wasn't at the Sunday show, but I have seen the footage. What an idiot! Well, he had a court date yesterday (a bail hearing). He appaerently lives in Pickering and his name has been published!(DJ's on the edge got a hold of his info! ha ha) Good luck to him in not getting his ass kicked!

[thedude15]

This show was fucking amazing! I saw the Foos this past March when they played in London, and it was so awesome that I had to come to Toronto to see them again. They played a lot of great songs and it was definitely one of the best shows I've ever been to.

After Bloc Party left the stage it got kinda crazy since most of the crowd stayed in order to get up as close to the stage as possible. I was squeezed against other people for the next 30 minutes, but luckily we had more space once the Foos came on. I saw the people trying to go to the front. As well, a girl chugged vodka from a water bottle just before the Foos came on and started passing out during the show (falling all over me), but luckily her boyfriend took her somewhere else. Other than that everything was enjoyable.

I noticed a lot of crowd surfing but not too much moshing, the crowd was really calm and mainly standing in the same place the whole time. I want to say a huge thanks to the 2 people who found and rescued my glasses after a crowd surfer accidentally kicked me in the head! My glasses flew to the ground, but people nearby moved out of the way and these 2 awesome people found my frames and lenses (with the lenses being knocked out of the frame). I managed to reattach one of the lenses, but someone gave me some gum so I could temporarily hold in the other lense for the rest of the show! Thanks to these people I could see the rest of the show fine and avoid the $200 for new glasses! I just brought them to the optometrist yesterday to straighten them out and everything was fine. If you are on here I just wanted to say that I'm grateful!

As everyone else has been saying there was a huge wait to get on the ferrys leaving the island, but I got back to the hotel at 1:30 AM, passed the fuck out, and then drove home to London the following afternoon. Overall an awesome time for my first outdoor festival show!

I've been discussing this before on the FF BBS...Dave said towards the end of the show that after the tour is done they're going home to work on a new record! I'm totally stoked that they have plans for a new record and, even though we aren't sure when it will come out, I'm looking forward to another kick ass Foo Fighters album!

As well I'm sorry to here about what happened to Noel the following day, best wishes for a fast recovery!

Daves said the future plan is contrary to this.

I'm pretty sure Dave and the boys are taking time off for a bit. But he has also said that they have new material ready and waiting to be recorded for a new album; but they are not going to record this for a few months though (up to a year or more is the rumor). We'll get a new album from them, just not anytime soon :(

[Britt15]

I am happy it got postponed. I never got tickets and I had to work tonight. I am going to try to get floor tickets everyday now! Although it sucks for ppl at Western because they might have exams.

I hope 2-3 years. This band needs it and so does everyone else.

[wattershed freak]

Awesome show!!! Foo Fighters were worth the money, too bad I cant say that for the other bands, other than Against Me and Bloc Party who were also good.

[jennyroo]

Aw you went!! I see now we have almost attended all the same Foo shows, except I went to one earlier than you and you went to V-Fest. LOL. kewl.

I thought you would have went...I kept an eye out for you.

[Melly-foo-ous]

Just got back from Toronto. Had an amazing time with TIFF, wine country, getting stuck big time on the 401 twice, once due to a shooting :eek: and on the way to the airport due to two accidents - fun :rolleyes: (I'll never complain about traffic in my town again) and of course the freaking amazing V-fest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D
Nessie, you are awesome, girl! Thanks to you we made it to the rail for the Foos! And so much fun to share the excitement with another Foo fanatic. Not the best Foo performance I saw this year, that goes to Seattle where they played Aurora, but the most fun by a mile, so great to be up close and going crazy with the crowd (my sister thinks we're both nuts, Nessie :D ).
The trip home was pretty long, though, got to bed at 3:30 I think. But I'd do it all over again.
MGMT was fantastic too, highly recommended to anyone who gets the chance to see them.

[jennyroo]

Yeah...i kinda had minor regrets not going but after reading the horrors of the ferry I'm glad I didn't, I would have Katie-Kaboomed for SURE.

[thedude15]

Well Dave didn't say when they're recording the new album, unlike a couple of years ago when he said there were recording a new one in March 2007. I hope that they put it out sometime next year, but I totally understand if they need to take a break from touring and recording in order to delay the record. All I know is that by the time they record they would have been writing it for a long time so its going to be kick ass!

lol Thanks! ;) You guys were awesome too! I def had more fun then I thought I was going to have if I went alone! Thanks again for the ride home! My ears 'rang' all day on Sunday and I had a major headache! Thats the last time I stand in front of a speaker for 6 hours! ha ha I hope your sister has recoverd from the loudness! lol ;) And lol at her thinking we're nuts!

I still can't believe we were that close! ha ha I thought you were going to pass out when Dave climbed the scafolding! lol That was awesome!!!!!

No headache for me, thank goodness, but I tried running on Monday and my legs felt like lead. Didn't help that I walked downtown all day on Sunday.
I guess being excited for Vegas would be an understatement for you now. I'm envious. This was my last Foo fix for a while.:(
Have a super time and hope they play your song request. Even better, hope you get to meet them this time.:)

That would take me a loonnggg time to recover from! lol

I finally was able to figure out how to 'split' my 'My Hero/Introductions' video in half for uploading! :)
After watching this a few times. I have realized that I'm kind of annoying! (with it being my first festival and all, you guys have to give me a break...no making fun at me! lol) I promiss I won't yell like this in Vegas! lol

My Hero (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1o0ROUWWn8Q)
Introductions (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUHI2qFNVVg)

The only crappy thing about where we were standing, was that we were directly behind the guy who was filming for the big screens! :rolleyes: He moves the crane out of the way for the majority of these videos though.

Enjoy!

So any guesses on how long "the Break" will be?

Guess I already miss them.

[jennyroo]

I hope the break is at least a year. Then maybe the Coattail Riders/JU will have a chance to tour and maybe we can get lucky and see them!! I love seeing them because they usually play small venues and its nice and intimate.

[Cammy]

Anyone see Kings of Leon on Friday???

[NESSIE]

Nope, but that would be a good show. I'm seeing Eagles of Death Metal on Thursday though! I won tickets from the Edge! woot woot! :D

lucky!!! i didn't know the Edge played Eagles...probably only will until the concert, then its back to the usual SHIT and playing that Weezer song 24/7.

you know the one

marry me a biotch
having 7 kiods

[Cammy]

I like that weezer song.

KOL was amazing. What a crowd in there. They knew every word to every song. The energy was amazing to say the least. Tickets were no where to be found. Scalpers didn't have anything at all. I was offered $400 for my ticket outside the door. I spoke with a friend who was offered $500. Which is nuts. This tops it because I was only offered $350 for my Lees Palace ticket for the Foos a few years back. Overall the show was great and be sure to check out the album "Only By The Night". I can safely say that it is my favourite of this year.

Nice! Glad you had a good time. Thats insane about what people are willing to pay for a ticket. The EoDM went on sale for $24. I saw them on Ebay for over $100. Thats nuts!

[leafsguy]

I had toyed with seeing KOL, but got ACDC tickets instead. What a show!
I saw Tom Morello last Sunday, great!

Just wanted to wish everyone here a happy new year.

Hopefully 2009 will bring us more Foo. Although I will say that I think that it most likely will be 2010 before we get any more Foo...

[Cammy]

Foo's on Austin City Limits at 1 am on WNED. (PBS)

I just spent a bunch of time checking it. So I hope that everyon catches it. I'll actually be in T.O that night so you better believe I will. Although I will most likely be three sheets to the wind at that point.

Anyone goin' to Edgefest 09 this year?

[jennyroo]

No. :D


Who's playing?

[leafsguy]

No. :D


Who's playing?

I know you don't like the Edge, but...

Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, K-os, AFI, Arkells, Moneen, The Stills, The Waking Eyes, Clothes Makes The Man [sounds like Attack In Black], Dean Lickyer [F'in rocks, sounds like classic rock], etc.

Petty good if you ask me. Especially for $50 ($40 if you buy before Fri. @ midnight; password: Edgefest09). June 20th, Downsview Park.

[NESSIE]

Anyone goin' to Edgefest 09 this year?


Meh....still debating. I love Alexisonfire. But not sure if it's worth going for 1 band that I like. Billy Talent are okay. We'll see. I have no money to buy tickets right now anyway.

It never sells out, so if I decide to go, I'll be able to still get tickets later.

[leafsguy]

I wasn't really a Billy Talent fan, until I saw them live, but saw them twice now, phenomenal live!

[NESSIE]

I can see that. I bet they have alot of energy!

A ton! You can try to win tickets!
Alexis will be playing new stuff for sure! Yay!

Yeah. I might just do that!
I won tixs from the edge for Eagles of Death Metal last November. :)

[Studmore]

Hey leafsguy, did you ever torrent your recording of this gig? I'm sure i remember you saying you'd taped it. :)

[leafsguy]

Actually, I thought about that just last week Studmore. I haven't yet, but will get to it soon, I promise! You guys will be the first to know.

[jennyroo]

yeah....none of those bands do anything for me (I have seen Billy Talent live though, many many years ago before they were known and they were LOUD and rocked...I'm just over them) so I won't be going...I hope Metallica come out this way though, they've already been out west :mad:

Ha i keep saying the same thing to myself about many things i've got sat in my 'to do' folder on my hard drive. It just seems to get bigger, not smaller. :(

[Cammy]

I've seen Billy Talent a number fo times from small club gigs to full arena shows and they are worth the price of admission. Fire in AFI and really you'll get your $50 worth. I think its a good line up (No STP & Linkin Park) but for that price a good value for your dollar.

Nothing on 'Tallica coming around here yet. But you figure they will at somepoint. Coldplay playing the Rogers centre blows my mind as well. I know they are big but not that big.

I caught The Parlor Mob at Tattoo last night. Great show!! If you like Zep (how could one not?) you'll dig this band. So give them a listen!

I caught The Parlor Mob at Tattoo last night. Great show!! If you like Zep (how could one not?) you'll dig this band. So give them a listen!

So you going to Edgefest Cammy? I bought mine yesterday. There's a group of my friends going, between 3 and 8 of us.

At least people will have a chance to get tickets for Coldplay, they're bigger than ACC, but smaller than Rogers Centre, in my opinion. Anyone thinking of going? I might.

I also got tickets to Russell Peters, he's too funny!

[Cammy]

I imagine that I will be at Edgefest. Really I don't see why I won't be.

The summer is looking huge with Edgefest, Rise Against & Rancid, Kings Of Leon and so many more.

METALLICA IS FINALLY COMING!!!!!


October 26th, 2009 at the ACC. Great, now I get to wish the year away...

Tickets go on sale April 4th, if anyone is interested. :)

There is a pre-sale for MetClub members April 1st (i wish i was one...bah)

[jennyroo]

I'm going on the 26th. I also got lower bowl. Not dead centre but close enough for me. I am already counting down to this.

I imagine I will be at 'Tallica as well. But it's way to far away to think about. The summer is huge. KOL, Springsteen, Slipknot, Rise Against, Rancid, Counting Crows, Kiss, OLP, STP, Hip, Offspring, Leonard Cohen, Billy Talent, AFI, Metric, alexisonfire, NIN, Janes Addiction, Street Sweeper and that's just off the top of my head. There I'm sure will be more. So plenty to keep you busy until 'Tallica.

the only band out of them I'd wanna see is KISS, and they are playing Casinorama. I'm sorry, but that's just WRONG.

I can not see KISS at Casinorama, thats where all the old bands go to die. :(

I can't wait for that Offspring show. I got pit tickets woohoo. They haven't played a headlining show here since 2004. Rise Against/Rancid will be fun too and also pit tickets for it too.

[leafsguy]

I got tickets for City and Colour @ Massey Hall on May 25 with Attack in Black. Gonna be awe-some!
Also got tickets for John Butler (my favourite after Foos) at The Phoenix on July 6, my 21st birthday! Check him out! From Australia, awesome guitarist! http://www.johnbutlertrio.com/audio.php they have a music player on the right side. Goooooood stuff!

[DoubleM]

STP is playing Casino Rama? What the fuck is up with that.

I got tickets to see Phoenix and I want to hit up TV On The Radio.

Also thinking about maybe doing Lollapalooza again this year.

[Cammy]

Wow...it's been a while since I have been here. But I'll let you know that it's Ben Harper & Beastie Boys at V Fest this year. Oh and take a water Taxi over. Will make the expereince so much better.

[DoubleM]

Anyone going to STP next week? Seems like tickets are sold out - I could use 3 if they're out there

In the meantime - if you're in Toronto come out to my CD Release gig at the Horseshoe this Thursday, July 2nd. $5 cover + a FREE CD!

check out our site and tell us how much you like/hate it and the music, and how much I do/don't look like Dave Grohl

My parents being the degenerate gamblers they are got me and my friends a couple of free tickets to the show. I saw STP open up for RHCP back in the day and was blown away. But apparently they are terrible on this tour.

[jennyroo]

THEM CROOKED VULTURES ARE COMING!!!

to the shitty Sound Academy, but still....
presale thursday morning 10 am


YAHOO!!!!

[DoubleM]

Damn, beat me to the punch.

Where are we going to get the presale pass?

I didnt receive an email.

Im going to have a permanent boner from now till the 6th.

I'm going to have permanent stress until I get a ticket LOL

I didn't receive an email either, i just looked it up on ticketmaster. I'm sure one is coming soon...

[leafsguy]

Whooooo-hoooooo!!!

So pumped!

Do we change this to "Toronto Sound Academy gig"? or no 'cause it isn't Foos?

[DoubleM]

I assume you have the email by now but if you dont get it in time PM me and Ill give you the password.

Apparently there is a limit to 2 tickets an order which sucks cause I have to buy at least 4 tickets. Ive learned not to try an mess with Ticketmaster and try to get more then their limit either.

Also, I dont think we should change the thread title cause it ain't a Foo gig and it aint the TCV board. Regardless, I'll be talking about the gig in this thread.

Where'd you see this?

Thats just the word Ive been reading around on other sites and considering that his been the case for all the other gigs I assume that will be the limit to ours.

Good luck to everyone this morning.

[DoubleM]

Just got 2 tickets and my friend got 2 as well

This is going to be the bee's tits. I've already got a boner.

[leafsguy]

Got my 2 tix!:D :D

[jennyroo]

HAHA please sign this hilarious petition.

It would be great if we could get more signatures than the Edge petition.

[Cammy]

Hey it's been a while! Sorry following NIN on the Wave Goodbye Tour took over my life.

I have TCV tickets as well. Here's what I know so far. No record label...yet. But it does look like everyone (labels) have their hand in it. A single should hit radio sometime in November. So we won't really know anything when we hit the show. New Record won't be out until early 2010. None of this is official yet. But looks like that is what is going to happen. If I'm wrong than these things happen.

Hopefully TCV do come into the Edge. But I don't think that they have done any press so far. So I wouldn't hold my breath as of yet. But U2 was just there so never know.

Oh what do you guys think of "Wheels"?

[leafsguy]

OH.MY.GAWD.

ABSOLUTELY MIND BLOWING!!!

That was one of the best concerts I've ever seen! Fortunately I was at the rail with a clear sightline to Grohl for 95% of the show. That man is a maniac! Warsaw blew me away! Elephants too!

I got JPJ's bass pick! My buddy and his girlfriend got a setlist!

Awesome! Just AWESOME!


P.S. - No recording from me, too risky. Sorry.

[Cammy]

Okay...so the live show from 606??? Thoughts????

[leafsguy]

Killer.

I hope all their new shows are similar in terms of the setlist. Dave was funny as always!

What were your thoughts Cammy?

[jennyroo]

OH man...606 show...unbelievable. Now, if only it was like that seeing them live ALL the time!!!!
