Concert Reviews

Foo Fighters at Red Rocks in about 3 hours... can't ****ing wait. 2nd show in 3 days. Enough booze consumed this weekend to kill an Irishman.

[JKidd]

Just got home. ****ing amazing show, and well worth the delay. Everything was perfect. From the opening to the perfect encore of "Best of You." Everything about it was perfect. Dave Grohl is an incredible performer, and the freestyling that the guys put on was amazing. Great show, and wish I could go back again tomorrow.

Oh well, Santana on Saturday night at Fiddlers... and Foreigner there on the 24th. Very heavy concert load.

I'll be throwing some of my pictures up here as soon as I get them off my camera... or when I'm sober enough to.

I caught the Forienger with Bryan Adams show, you won't be dissapointed. Even though Lou Gramm isn't there. The guy they replaced him with is just as good, great performer. Looks like a 30 year old Steven Tyler. Bryan Adams was good, but Forienger was definitely the jewel of the night for me.

I think I made a post about when I saw them awhile ago, they are probably the best live band Ive ever seen (Foo Fighters Im speaking of).

Just got home from Santana at Fiddlers. It rained for the last half of the show, but it made the show even better.

The guitar work on display, can't be described in words. I'll put it this way, beyond anything any human should be able to do with a guitar. ****ing awesome show. Black Magic Woman and Oyo Como Va, INCREDIBLE!

Loved it. Absolutely loved it. Completes the busiest concert week I can remember, 3 great shows in a week... Poison a week from today, Foo Fighters on Monday night, and Santana tonight. 3 different styles, 3 different genres' and all 3 had unique traits that I didn't see in the other shows.

I mean hell, I seen a triangle solo at Foo Fighters, a whistle solo at Poison, and a chello solo at Santana... BUT, like Dave Grohl said, you'll never see a bass guitar solo... and I didn't...

Got my Metallica tix and will have my AcDc tix on Sat. Trying to swing ZZ Top on Halloween night but the prices of remaining seats is pretty steep.

Last show I saw was Sevendust at the Phoenix in Toronto, I had seen BLS about a month before and regretted not going up to the front so myself and a friend moved up for this one, as soon as the band took the stage everyone stepped back and the pit began, we were right on the perimeter, not much time went by before I was paying attention to the show and this circling big kid(must ve been at least 250lbs) with major attitude, straight armed me right in the solar plexus when I wasnt looking, more shocked than anything I waited for him to come around again and fukking hammered him into a pile of kids (I'm not small and can bench press 290 for 7 reps, push power!), he knocked them over like bowling pins and didnt come near me again (haha), Ifelt bad because one guy got dragged out a few minutes later, I think he broke his leg from the impact..... was a good show too!

Gus' Pub, Halifax
20 Sept 2008
Moosh Pit

I saw Wednesday Night Hero's and The Real McKenzies last night, very good show WNH had alot of good energy and The Kenzies put on a solid show, I almost got into a fight during the Kenzies but other then that it was a good night.

I saw Metallica, Down, and The Sword last night at Pepsi Center. The show was great as all 3 bands tore it up. Twas a priceless time with my son I'll never forget.

I was almost booted from the show as Metallica came on for filming with my crappy digital camera. It was BS as most the crowd was doing the same thing with their phones.

The mosh pits were insane and I throughly enjoyed watching people thrash each other all night long.

Red Rocks seems like a very cool venue. Must be a great experience to watch a concert there (although i prefer smaller club venues). My cousin sent me some picks he took at a 'cool' place where he saw FF, seeing this thread i understand that it was Red Rocks he was at.
