Ahhhh.... the Foos. I love the Foo Fighters. I love Dave Grohl. I love music with lots and lots of guitars. My life suddenly changed the minute Nirvana (Dave again!) entered the music scene and grunge became the new big thing. (Remember wearing leggings, combat boots and flannel shirts? OK, don't admit it and I won't either). Smells Like Teen Spirit changed music and pop culture for Generation X forever. OK, maybe I'm being a bit dramatic, but damn that music (and what it spawned today) is still great.
The Foos rocked. The opening number (Let it Die, a current fave of mine) was awesome- we have a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pO5PPXiaFk4 Monkeywrench and Everlong were other great numbers, closer to the end. And many other great songs in between- they would play one after the other without even stopping. One song would end and seamlessly meld into the next. Awesome.
Part of me realized how old I've gotten though. When we left, we saw the tour buses, etc and there was NOBODY there hanging out, waiting for a close up glimpse of Dave and crew. What?? The old me (Betty, for those of you who remember) would have pulled the car to the side, parked and hung out, waiting. But the me now realized it was close to midnight on a school night and a friend was kindly watching our kids for free at home- he had to work the next day too and didn't get the Foos to boot! So home we went.
