Performers at this Event
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Red Hot Chili Peppers Remove performer from this event
Few rock groups of the '80s broke down as many musical barriers and were as original as the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Creating an intoxicating new musical style by combining funk and punk rock together (with an explosive stage show, to boot), the Chili Peppers spawned a slew of imitators...
The Who
The Who Remove performer from this event
Few bands in the history of rock & roll were riddled with as many contradictions as The Who. All four members had wildly different personalities, as their notoriously intense live performances demonstrated.
Spiritualized
Spiritualized Remove performer from this event
Formed from the ashes of the trance-rockers Spacemen 3, singer/guitarist Jason Pierce's group Spiritualized did not break away from his prior band's trademark hypnotic minimalism; instead, they perfected it.
Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters Remove performer from this event
While he was drumming with Nirvana, Dave Grohl was recording original songs at home that never received public release. Those tapes would become the foundation of Foo Fighters, the band he formed in 1995, after the death of Kurt Cobain.

Awesome

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.

blown away

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!

Not impressed

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.

Fantastic!

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!

One of my favorite bands

"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.
