SSSSSSSSSSssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!
 That's my usual spot! [/b]

Yeah, same here. I also like it 'cause it's near the bar where my favorite bartender works

Did I mention that i got home here in Richmond a little after 4:30 and made it to work at 8:00?  I hope I die before I get old!!!

I need to work harder at getting to know the bartenders.  Thing is, I actually don't drink much because I only have a beer, two at most, during the week.  And I always pay with cash.  Hmmm, something I'll be working on...

 I would also like to thank That Guy for helping me and my daughter when we were still outside in line.  There was a minor miscommunication about ticketing and we almost had a problem getting in!  This was after my daughter had spent the entire day (from 11:30 a.m.) at the 9:30 Club waiting to get in.  That Guy took charge and handled the situation quickly so we were able to get in and get prime spots for the show.  Thank you!  It could have been a disaster, but instead turned out to be one of the best nights of our lives!
 
 Ratbastard - it was great meeting you and Kim!  Hope we run into you at another show.  You are so damn lucky to have that Motorhead shirt!  My daughter is just thrilled that Dave answered her gum question!

 Show ended at 1:30, just about on the dot.  So actually it was a 2 hour and 20 minute show; the went on at 11:10.
 
 What did you miss...he played "In Your Honor" at the end -- while it's the opener for the arena shows.  I'm terrible with sets lists in my head...Born on the Bayou with Seth on drums was either the second or third to last song....  I think it went Born on the Bayou, Everlong, In Your Honor.  
 
 Had they left the stage before the encore when you left, Hoya?

i don't think so .... i thought for sure that monkeywrench would be the set closer, but i'm not sure if that closed it out ... either way, we left after that, sounds like a great encore though
 
 some more thoughts:  dave grohl was great last night, but his ego is just a little too much for me sometimes ... i'm a huge sunny day real estate / fire theft fan, and william goldsmith is one of my favorite drummers ... i heard a bunch of press when goldsmith left the foo fighters a while back about how crazy/possessive grohl is in the studio ... are the foo fighters really a band?  or should they be called "the dave grohl band" ... anyway, nate mendel sounded great last night, i hope he hooks back up with goldsmith/enigk soon

thanks for posting the set list!  i can't believe they really played that many songs...the whole show seemed to fly by.

I would have KILLED to hear them play Aurora and Generator at the Patriot Center show. You guys are lucky. Sounds awesome.

Well, now there's a setlist up (THANKS swell!!!), so you can see what you missed.  They've been closing out all the arena shows with Monkeywrench, so I thought that was going to be the end as well.

BTW, that was an amazing job by Josh and the rest of the crew at the club.  Two shows back to back with the second one being the type it was and everything went down 100% perfect.  You can tell these gusy are professionals and, while they know how to enjoy their jobs and have a godo time at it, they all take the job veyr seriously.  The 930 is an amazing place and always a great experience.  Thanks to all of you who worked last night so all of us could have such a great time!

For anyone that got the paper setlist from the stage, what were the differences between the setlist and what they actually played?  I'd be curious to see how much the deviated from it..
 
 Thanks - Great night!

I can actually tell you this!
 
 We got five extra songs, all in a row in the middle, that were not on the pre-arranged setlist:
 
 11. Generator
 12. Gas Chamber
 13. The One
 14. I'll Stick Around
 15. Part of Message In A Bottle - Taylor singing
 16. Cold Day in the Sun - Taylor singing
 
 We didn't get one song that was on the setlist -- End Over End was listed to come between Born on the Bayou and All My Life

Definite thanks to the whole crew and especially Josh (for letting me into the club to use the washroom. All that tea while in line was taking it's toll on me!). I am constantly reminded of why this is my favorite club.
 
 And yes Bags - we were right above where Dave did his "bar crawl". Here's a bird's eye view:

I would love to see lots of pictures (good ones, not fuzzy phone pictures) -- if anyone has some good ones, I'd be interested in peaking at them on Ofoto or some such thing...
 
 Hell, email 'em to me, I got 2 GB of space in my Yahoo account!!  nancy_bagot@yahoo.com

Who let all of those walking-dead near Dave's ankles?  Was he bitten?
