Anyone going to see the Foo Fighters and Gary Clark Jr. in Nashville Monday night? My wife got me tickets for Fathers Day. I am pretty pumped. I always wanted to see the Foo Fighters and Gary Clark Jr. opening for them is icing on the cake.
Foo Fighters

These guys rocked the house. They have a command on the pace of their songs and how to play them live that could only be achieved by having a drummer as your lead guitarist and singer. Dave Grohl is also the best ever at talking to the crowd. They played for 2 hours and 45 minutes, knocked out every hit, 3 new songs, a Pink Floyd cover, and they played "Miss You" better than The Rolling Stones themselves.
Best jokes of the night after pausing in the middle of "Monkey Wrench" before the yelling part to get the crowd yelling back and forth with the band, Grohl says "Man ya'll are going to lose your f#$%ing voice, I won't lose mine, I'm a professional but you all are doomed". Also gave a shout out to Honda Oddysey's stating " You all probably think I drive a f$%#ing Lamborghini, but Honda Oddysey is where it's at, give me woot-woot, Honda Oddysey's are the real deal".
Never had a rock star who I thought seriously identified with my life and freaking rocked every song hard as he could. I have no idea how he didn't have a headache he headbanged so hard, plus I got to the show early on because they played in downtown Nashville and not on a farm in Nicholasville. Everyone that paid to see Luke Bryan could have seen a real show from the Foo Fighters and actually made it into the arena.

i saw foo fighters open for RHCP at rupp years ago. thought they out performed them by more than a small amount. enjoy the show!
Really? I hate that cover (and I like the Foo Fighters). The guitar just doesn't work for replacing that awesome sax solo. At least for me.
They are right now. Unbelievable live act. Grohl had the fans eating out of his hands all night. Oddly the throne added to his energy level and presence. Amazing, I will pay whatever it costs to see them on their next world tour in a couple of years.
Sorry, just saw this thread - was there last Monday along with my wife. Up till now have had the Foos as maybe in my top 5 or 10 favorites, but after seeing this show they are up to the top 2 or 3 now. Simply the best live act I have ever seen, and it isn't even that close, and Ive seen a bunch. Everything the OP says about the show is accurate. Loved it when Grohl challenged the guy to lip sync the words to "Breakout" with him then called him out in the middle of the song when he messed up. Hilarious.
