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.

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!

I've enjoyed Beck's music since he first became well-known in the 90's, and he continues to create interesting music in a style of his own. In the early days he was not afraid to experiment, and his unique ideas yielded ear-opening results. These days he seems to be struggling to keep up his momentum, but he is still a talented musician who is good at 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.
