Guess Who I Saw...
Hey Everyone...
Only the Foo Fighters (and Jimmy Eat World) in a tiny venue in Camden! Wow it was fantastic! I took my Best Man too be as he is a huge Foos fan. He got there at 3pm and so we were right at the front of the queue, which meant we were right at the front of the crowd. I mean literally, he was on the barrier and I was just behind!
I haven't been to a 'hardcore' gig like this is a long time, and last time I got all claustrophobic. I was proud this time that I stuck it out, almost until the end, but my blasted new trainers crushed my feet and I had to move out of the crowd to sit down!
Still I saw almost all of the gig - all 3 hours of it! Yep the Foo Fighters played for a whole three hours! The highlight (apart from Dave Grohl's general showmanship) was Dave Grohl shouting at some guy who started a fight in the crowd and very explicitly telling him to get out of the gig because 'you come to my gig to dance! You don't come to my gig to fight'.
We were so close my best man to be managed to pat Dave Grohl on the back as he walked past and even managed to get one of the bassist's plectrums!
I can't really sum up the experience but it was fantastic and I'm so glad I went! I'll leave you with some photos...
