« on: October 10, 2005, 10:37:00 am »
Has there been one yet?
 
 Haven't seen them in a few years.  Really looking forward to it.

I am excited.  Never seen the Foos, saw the weez in July which whet my appetite for more.
 
 I have 2 extra reserveds as well, if anyone is lacking.

I'm there...a friend is picking me up at a metro station in VA at 6:30 -- we should get there by 7:30?
 
 Will head right to the beer garden.  I'll probably pop down for some of Weezer.  We're GA.

great show....
 
 thought the Kaiser Chiefs were much better than at the 9:30 club, due to the fact the singer was hitting the proper notes and lack of the cringeworthy slower tunes from the album.  still think the drums drags the band down a bit...
 
 best Weezer show i've seen, River actually looked like he was having fun and not merely going through the motion like the last couple times.  a bit creeped about him not wearing the glasses though.  a nice touch on the acoustic "Islands In the Sun" sung from  a stage setup behind the sound booth and directly to the people in the back.  set could have been paced a bit better to many slow songs at the beginning but ended on a high note.
 
 The Foo Fighters delivered the arena rock goods, lasers, smoke, and a big sound.  Grohl is great musician, performer, decent storyteller, but a so-so songwriter.
 
 The GA crowd was remarkable well behaved, sans the two DUDES that felt the need to crowd up in front of us during Weezer, proceeded to get baked and puke all over their shoes.
 
 Finally, tear down the Patriot Center!!!!! It took an hour to get there from Arlington.  Oh wait that included stopping for food... nevermind

Just got back as well.  Best Weezer I have seen as well, looked like they were having fun.  Foos were high energy as expected and it is easy to see why they are the last act on the bill.  Not many bands could follow them and the high octane set they perform.  Great to see these two bands together and Kaiser Chiefs were pretty solid as the opener.
 
 Traffic was surprisingly good, then I realized it was a holiday.   Getting in and out was easy.

I was right next to where these guys stopped (if we're talking about the same guys, one had a curly goatee?) during Weezer. Totally annoying. Kept arm pumping and hitting my girl in the head. Ridiculous. We went to the back of the GA for Foos.
 
 Kaisers were awesome and we laughed at "The band you have just enjoyed was the Kaiser Chiefs! Years from now you're going to go, 'Oh My God... I was there! I saw the Kiaser Chiefs, and I sang with the Kaiser Chiefs!!'"
 
 Weezer was pretty great but they lumped too many Make Believe songs together in the set. Mad props for the Foo Fighters and Blur covers, but Rivers should at least learn the words instead of needing a music stand. El Scorcho!
 
 The Foos were their standard awesome self, although they seemed to play a song or two fewer then most setlists I've seen. I love Stacked Actors, but they do ruin it with the 10 minute jam version.
 
 I feel like the crowd was less "jump around" and act stupid during Foos then Weezer, honestly. All and all, awesome show from opener on through.

Also - what was the name of the Chili place Dave was talking about during his set? I knew I spent too much time on here when I heard him hype a Chili restauraunt and thought, "That's not Ben's Chili Bowl! 930.com is going to throw a fit!"

Went, had a good time.  Lots of great music.  Hate the parking at that place.  I now have a few more bands I can add to my 'yeah Ive seen them" list.  Damn that list is getting long.

Did Weezer play "Photograph"? That's an awesome song.

I find it one of the easier places to get in and out of (of venues that hold that many people). If you're coming from the south, take 123 North, then turn right on Braddock Road, but instead of turning left into the Patriot Center parking complex, turn right and park at University Mall. It has a movie theatre, so they don't know who's concert parking and who's there for a movie, and you can circumvent all the traffic when leaving. It's literally a 3 minute walk at most.
