Am pretty cashed out…
Where I was people were very good about wearing masks which was great as I was a bit frazzled…my partner at home sort of freaked about me going to this show!
It didn’t feel too full…polite crowd other than the woman on second floor balcony raining beer
Just a typical solid Foo Fighters set
I got there about 8:20 and everyone seemed to be there…after 20 minutes standing I got bored and started yelling and making noise.. I got people around me going…2-3 minutes later they came on
Then they just did what they do…Dave being Dave…some of his typical patter…you know “we got A LOT of songs! I mean A LOT!” Crowd was a little reserved but masks make it hard… Most people weren’t moving around too much
I started by left side food stand…well actually a bit behind it and to right…about halfway through show I got tired of my friend making a big deal about beer raining on him and moved all the way up to front left side….people there weren’t too thrilled about me showing up but there was plenty of space and 930 security dude by speaker was totally cool and I said a few words to people around me and they got the message to just keep enjoying show..of course my friend didn’t follow my lead for twenty minutes!!
Why do Foos have a keyboard player? I know Rami is great but you barely hear him
It was so great to be at the club… I had really missed the place… I had been worried about getting in and all this covid stuff but once I got there I felt super comfortable and everything was chill
I don’t think Scream would have worked with this crowd
From my vantage point I had a great view of owners box and Seth was having a great time..as everyone knows I am his number one fan so for me that’s fun… I think I got one of people in box confused with Jose Andres but unless Jose is like a rabid fan who knows all the words it wasn’t him…maybe it was the other owner of IMP.. at one point I think when talking about the new little 9:30 that would be opening next door Grohl looked up at Seth and recognized him..Seth demurred
At one point Dave pointed to second floor balcony over sound mixer and said that was his spot ..of course Dave used to hang at the old club so I think he was just taking creative license for his patter
I don’t have much to say in terms of the music…highly enjoyable meat and potatoes..I guess Taylor Hawkins sang a fun Somebody to love (such a great song) and Grohl took the drum chair…. And they did a Bee Gees tune which was fun…I liked it anyways….some of the Foos set was so heavy and loud.. I used ear plugs after 15 minutes but my right ear is still ringing
I cannot believe I typed this on a phone
