Downer

As per the title really. I went to Wembley Stadium Saturday to see the mighty Foo Fighters and it was the best concert ever. But ever since I've not really been myself. I suppose I used up a good 12 months worth of seratonin at the Foos concert, and I have found myself trawling the web for reviews, vids and general comment about the event to try and keep the experience fresh in my mind.

I've listened to the entire back catalogue of the Foos since then (currently got Skin and Bones on WMP) I just wish I was back in the stadium shouting along to All My Life!

I know I would have felt differently if only England had qualified for Euro 2008!

Re: Downer

Evenin' pittVRS. I've just got back from ferrying so could do with a couple of matchsticks for my eyes now which are rapidly closing. Hope you find some more seratonin on the net to keep you smiling, though I suppose it's possible that Tesco might have it on special offer. Probs best not mention football though or Nick'll come along and close the thread.

Night night

Re: Downer

Must be a Foo's thing.....

We went to see them at Sheffield tail end of last year and they were bloody marvelous!!!!! I can safely say it was the best concert i've ever been to. Think it came to approx 2.5 to 3 hours or so in total.... Normal stage - electric gig..... then in the round - accoustic, then back to normal stage.... then an encore!!!!! I found that if you go to their website they have pics taken by fans at gigs on there..... Brought back some memories when i looked through the Sheffield pics.




Cheers

Dave.

Just put on some live music and grab you air mic or air guitar.

Re: Downer

Thanks for cheering me up Briskodians! I love you all in your own special ways. I've decided to cheer myself up with beer and the new back to their roots Sleeper album!
