Sound: What can I say about The Foo Fighters other than They really know how to kick some ass. Without a doubt this was one of the best shows that I've ever seen. They were loud, exciting and there wasn't a dull moment. Every member put their best effort into this show. David Grohl's voice cracked every now and then but no one cared. He was still great. Later in the show Grohl said, "You know I woke up this morning with two choices. I can not play the show tonight because my voice is shot, or I can play the show." He then paused for a moment and looked around and said, "You know why I picked choice number two? Because I f--king wanted to!" Then all ten thousand people screamed to the top of their lungs with approval. // 10
Perfomance: From the second they walked out on stage the audience was absolutely wild. They were so crazy. They tore the place up for nearly two and a half hours and we enjoyed every bit of it. I can't remember every thing that they played but some of the best performances that recall were "Monkey Wrench", "Learn To Fly", "Pretender", "Best Of You" and a Nirvana classic that I can't remember the name of right now. A lot of the most memorable moments of the show were when Grohl would stop and talk to the audience between shows and tell funny stories about their previous tours. // 10
Impression: The show was at the Pensacola Civic Center in Pensacola, Florida. The tickets were about $50.00 but there were two opening acts. The first one was a band called Against Me and I did not like them at all. I thought that they were awful. But at least some people liked them. The second opening act was Jimmy Eat World and they weren't that bad. I'm not a big fan of them or anything but they did a good job. The Foo Fighters were practically flawless. They were very impressive. I would definitely go see them again. After seeing them Live I am now a huge fan of them. The only thing that I would change about the show is that I would get rid of the first opening act. After seeing them Live I am now a huge fan of them. // 9
