Anyone else at Wembley last night for the Foo Fighters?

Been to less and less concerts in recent years as i've mostly come away feeling a bit let down by the live gigs i've been to, but these guys really know how to put on a live show. They were also one of the only bands to actually put some effort in at Live Earth, other big name bands (Chilli Peppers) were seriously dissapointing.

Awsome show last night. If you get the chance to see the Foo's live, its a must !!!!

Saw them in Nottingham late last year and had to turn down a ticket for last night as I couldn't get there and had to work all day. Gutted, as has been said earlier, they fking rock hard! Proper entertainers and really love what they do. One of the best gigs I've ever been to.

6 of us went last night, must admit I am not a fan- don't hate them, just don't listen to them, went along as everyone else was going, show was very good but I only knew about 3 songs so did not enjoy it as much as some people smile

i went last night. not a massive fan (in that i like them but wouldn't listen to an album) but they were absolutely awesome. grohl is probably the best front man in the world. and the 20 second triangle solo was a sight/sound to behold...

Glad to hear that. I saw the Chilli Peppers last year at Leeds and they we were seriously ste. Painfully boring at some points as they clearly couldn't be bothered.

The Foo's are headlining one of the nights this year and i'm glad to hear they put on a good show. I'm looking forward to it even more now!

Lucky fecker i got offered tickets for manchester but had a presentation next morning. The albums tend to have good songs spread between each - rather than buy all of them you might be better downloading the likes of breakout, learn to fly, monkey wrench, my hero, all night long, and Everlong (what a song, look for live versions on youtube!)


  • Doh* Beaten to it by Matt172 - good call on times like these
