Foo Roll Call?

[Bags]

I only saw a third or so of Weezer's set, but I was impressed.  And the crowd was way in to it.  I came into work today doing the double-handed "W" sign.  I'm not all that familiar with Weezer; they were good live.
 
 For the Foo Fighters, I used the mosh pit to get me up within about 8 people from the barrier.  I have to say, it was crowded, but it was a good, relatively easygoing crowd as someone mentioned.  When an annoying dude came barrelling up throwing elbows in everyone's face to get up front, folks pointed him out and the bouncers reached in and pulled him out, 4 people back from the barrier.  Amazing.  So, up where I was, EVERY person was singing every word and bouncing.  Huge, high energy.  What a great, sweaty time.
 
 Grohl is a nearly perfect performer for what he's doing.  Great rock star, plus funny and smart and entertaining.  I love that man.  Like that's news.  Can't wait for the show in New Jersey on Friday...I may not get so close up, but I can enjoy that show from anywhere.
 
 AND I got to hang out with Chutney in the beer garden.  What a great evening.

excellent show.  impressive instrument switching by the weezer guys.  
 
 never had seen the foos before, and whoever said it above was right, the foos HAD to be the closer.

 Very nice show.  The Foos never disappoint.  Just a rockin' good time.

The security at this show was awesome.  As someone up there said, when anyone got out of control, they were removed.  I think that's awesome, cuz there were some of us who were getting seriously squished.  I know that comes along with being front row center, the barrier leaves it mark on your chest for a few days, but there's a difference between people moving around and having fun, and people moving around and being obnoxious.  
 
 That said...I think this show was amazing.  I had the best experience ever.  Ended up walking with Pat's towel, a pick from Dave and a drumstick from Taylor.  Amazing night.  Weezer is my all-time favoritest band ever, with Foos falling a close second.  Who'da thunk I'd get to see them play TOGETHER.  I feel like enjoyed Weezer's set more, only because by the time Foo Fighters came on, I was pretty much rocked out.  I loved Rivers' comment about "coming up next is, are, is/are? Foo Fighters."  I always struggle with that one, too!  haha
 
 Anyone going to try to win tickets from DC101 to catch the show on Sunday night?!?!?!

Ohmigod yes, but it's so hard to win these insane radio call in contests.  I hate 'em and haven't tried anything like it in years.  [In fact, I think I only ever tried to win a radio contest once...don't remember what it was, but it was stoopid.]  
 
 I think I may resort to Craig's List or Ebay (though how do you know the person's really got the tickets??  Plus, it's probably a list since it's so soon....).
 
 Way psyched for you as a Weezer and Foo fan -- that must have been an awesome two-fer for you.  Very cool.
 
 I did get squashed by a falling crowd surfer, but otherwise got out unscathed and happy.

Shit...I just got an email from DC101 -- at friggin' 2:45 p.m.  Apparently some tickets went on sale this a.m. (though at exactly 10:00 a.m. I tried both tickets.com and ticketmaster and nothing was listed).
 
 From email:
 
 Hello all
 
 Sorry the newsletter is a bit late this time around, but we had some good news to share. So, I thought I'd wait.
 
 Let's start with The Foo Fighters. Fresh off their show at the Patriot Center last night, I'm happy to announce Elliot In The Morning night with The Foo Fighters at The 9:30 Club. The show is THIS SUNDAY night. So here's the deal. A limited number of tickets will go on sale this morning. All the other tickets will be given away on DC101. So, listen non-stop between now and Sunday night. As for my show, there are several ways to win. Any time you hear me play a Foos song, call in. If you hear Dave Grohl himself tell you to call in, do so. If I tell you to call in, do so. And, we're bringing back We Dial / You Win. Don't forget, the show is THIS SUNDAY at The 9:30 Club.

I'm skeptical of this...no tickets showing up on Craig's List or Ebay.

Damn I saw this link for FF tix at the 930 site this AM and thought it was just a typo form last nights show!  God damn that sucks...

[RatBastard]

whats the contest phone number at DC101?

[Bombay Chutney]

I thought that was just the old link from when they released extra tickets to last night's show. hmmm...
 
 I just got the DC101 newsletter too.    

[eltee]

I didn't get the newsletter...
 I became very ill yesterday thus having to skip the show. I know - insanity. Couldn't find anyone to take my tickets. Damn shame all around. Never seen Weezer / Foo.
 Bleh!
