I totally was amazed at the concert last night. Honestly Sean i think you are a tool for not loving the performance. I have never seen such audience interaction before, and the set list was perfect. long live the Foo. Although I will say that i was truly disappointed with section 112 I was the only person standing in the first 3 rows... and it does make the concert experience much different, but i didnt let it deter my awesome experience. Foo needs to come to Louisville for a proper reception.

STP was on my list of "Bands I Really Should Have Listened To In High School" in college. It's great music, and the one time I've seen them live I was blown away. If they're coming through, then for gods' sakes buy some tickets cause it's gonna be awesome!

wow, i can not express enough what amazing performers foo fighters are. Dave Grohl just worked the crowd so well. The 2 hour and 6 minute set was amazing! I have to totally disagree with Sean, i was more than impressed and I think majority of people there were.
I had seen the foos before and loved them the first time so expected alot for last night. They did more than meet my expectations.
I want to marry Dave Grohl!

Soft-spoken, mellow, and always a genuinely nice guy, Jack Johnson is a refreshing change of pace from the typical celebrity. His music and his demeanor bring us to a time long gone where entertainment was an art form; not a publicity stunt. Where other performers were interested in being famous merely to be famous, Jack Johnson only wanted to sing. Where other celebrities only cared about the almighty dollar or the advertisement deal, Johnson remained true to himself.
Regardless of his attitude, his music is truly inspiring on multiple levels. I, like many cynics, did not believe myself capable of liking a tune such as his. If you're like myself, you've grown up in an era of Disney-produced "feeling" and corporate produced music, where not even our food is real any more. I felt myself becoming alienated from music itself, and it was truly disheartening. Johnson's music was almost an awakening; it's a "feel good", and "care free" style of music that you can merely sway to and imagine yourself laying in a hammock on a far off island.
All of this from a gentleman who truly understands where music should come from - the soul.

The beat to Kanye West's music is always pretty catchy and easy to get into, but if you listen carefully to his lyrics - you'll find that they are ingenious! He refers to the most random, yet clever topics/themes -- a lot of them with interesting sociological references. He's definitely an artist that's honing his craft.

Saw the show in Worc last night...not very impressed with the set list and general performance.
The first band was excellent.
And the band should be ashamed of the way people on the floor were corraled in like cattle 20 feet from the stage. Would not go see them again. Give me a tool show any day.

Bloc Party is one of my favorite bands, I can listen to their music over and over again and never get tired of it. They have a new single out called Flux that is going to be a big hit at nightclubs all over!

Check out her home page: art deco apes, flyboys, stolen diaries, a big black horse and a cherry tree. What's not to like about this hot rock mama? Yeah, that's right. Nothing!

"Silent Alarm" is one of those albums; the kind you can listen to over and over again. "A Weekend in the City" has a different tenor, but retains the quintessence of Bloc Party. Their live performances are energetic and more than worth the price of admission.

Her style is pop rock with a subtle blend of funk, blues, and upbeat dance. I know, how can it be all that?? She's a blast to listen to and I can't wait to catch her live.

Underworld is one of the greatest bands of all time. You may have heard their track during the final scene of the movie "Trainspotting." If you listen to any of their album releases, it becomes clear after a few listens that they are extremely brilliant and talented musicians. While they are primarily electronic musicians, they have a background in rock, and so they are a perfect blend of both worlds. The lyrics and vocal tracks are just as hypnotic and kinetic as the music. They also put on a great live show, where improvisation plays a big part, and the dynamics of the compositions can be breathtaking. I saw them live about 5 years ago, and it remains the best music show I've ever been to. You really have to see them for yourself. Their music makes me feel extraordinary.
