Madjambo21 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 First time listening to them live and was absolutely Brilliant. One of the best bands ever FACT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Boy Named Crow Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) Aye, I hear a lot of reviews like this, everyone seems to love them. I mind seeing them at Gig On The Green many years ago. They were playing the same day as Primal Scream and Oasis. All the other bands that day had cottoned on that the crowd wasn’t really there to see them, and we’re pretty cool about it. Not Dave Grohl though, he was giving the roadies abuse and generally acting the Big Man. I never really took to them after that, clearly not everybody shares this view, glad you enjoyed the gig.

frankblack Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 (edited) It was a great show last night. Good to hear Hey, Johnny Park! and I'll Stick Around in the set as they don't get played much nowadays. Had to head for train during Let There Be Rock though. Its the fourth time I have seen them on this album tour. Edited August 18, 2019 by frankblack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid pair of boots or wellies the absolute minimum. We skipped the supports and just went in for the headliners both nights. A few beers in Glasgow city centre then off to the gig for 7.45pm. Bar queue was half hour minimum both days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamhammer Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Do nothing for me but I didn't like Nirvana much either. Maybe too old. Rock by numbers. I liked Them Crooked Vultures, QOTSA and Eagles of Death Metal and DG was involved with all of em just FF I can't "get" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lyrically I'm nt that impressed with em either. They're one of those bands I should like but just can't. Like The Velvet Underground or The Beatles. Just don't get it.

I’ve never read any stories of DG other than him being a top bloke and the most down to earth guy. I’ve seen them quite a bit and they always give it 2 1/2 hrs on set and full throttle.

Nookie Bear Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Personally I feel FF success is fuelled more by Grohl’s immense attitude and sense of fun rather than how memorable their music is. The same applies to Noel Gallagher. I think his solo work is forgettable, but his interviews make up for it every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't keep growing your support at the top for 25 years unless you are delivering the goods. Records are a high stsmdard and they put on a great live performance.

The live performances relate to Grohl’s attitude towards the fans and the music, like I said. Just my opinion. I find them a bit dull but could listen to Grohl being interviewed all day.

The band's live shows are band efforts with a strong catalogue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to have seen the Foo's in a club back in the day. Guess they are too big for that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen Metallica unfortunately just never managed to get tickets . Live in hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marvin Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Watching their show from the weekend on iPlayer now. Brilliant show yet again. There was a nice nod to the late Keith Flint and a decent cover of Queen's Under Pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
