Ooo, I'm excited for Monday now!

I've given the album some time and I have to say it's a lot better than I originally thought. There's a sense of Colour and Shape in it, I believe.

you should be! they put on a hell of a show, they properly rock.

and i agree about the colour and the shape comment. they are definately back on track musically. not that in your honour was less than great... i mean look at the singles! just it was a little too long, so the greatness was diluted....

ok rambling now! lol

wish i was going to see them again....but i spent all my money on bon jovi now :)

I didn't think In Your Honour was as bad as people made out. Ok there were some pretty average tracks and some people couldn't cope with the two disc idea but there were some very good songs there on both CDs. Razor and On The Mend were almost worth the whole of that second disc alone.

The gig last night in Sheffield was class! I've come to the conclusion that Dave Grohl is a living legend. How the hell does he keep up that energy night after night (they came on at 8.45 and didn't leave the stage til 11.00!)? My throat hurt from shouting along, don't know how he manages it. I could tell by the last song his voice had just about done as much as it could. Also, the acoustic set mid way was cool and obviously gave him a bit of a rest.

Here's the set list I got from the official message board.

Let It Die
The Pretender
Times Like These
Breakout
Long Road To Ruin
Learn To Fly
Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)
DOA
Stacked Actors
Skin And Bones (acoustic)
Marigold (acoustic)
My Hero (acoustic)
Cold Day In The Sun (acoustic - Taylor on lead vocals)
But, Honestly (acoustic)
Everlong
Monkey Wrench
All My Life

Wattershed
Holiday In Cambodia (with Serj Tankian)
Generator
Keep The Car Running
Best Of You

glad you enjoyed it!

aww you got the Arcade fire cover! (keep the car running) nice! oh well i got 'Alone and easy target' in that slot which ain't to shabby.

Dave Grohl is just a god isn't he? he screams the lyrics every night (in a good way)...and then he gets to the acoustic section and his voice is just as good this way, more quiet.
and then there are his guitar skills! did they do the big Guitar and Drum solos is 'stacked actors'? this is the kind of thing in a rock gig i live for. i don't care if people just think it's guitar player wankery, i think it's great.

We also got Wattershed which was a nice treat.


Yep, we got that too! I was a good, fun show. They don't take themselves too seriously and that's what I love aboute them. Excellent!

Was at the O2 gig last night (Saturrday). Excellent gig, Grohl in fine voice on for almost 3 hours.

Thought Serj Tankian was pants to be honest, but the Foos blew me away and great set full of energy. Special guests Brian May & Roger Taylor joined them on the acoustic stage for 1 song, and was chuffed to hear For All The Cows in the encore. Excellent!

Man i wish they could come to Dubai.... I so want to see them live :(

Foos for Wembley next summer....same date as Jovi in Dublin though! meh :(
