Well, the missus and I met up with Slick last night to catch the current Foo Fighters' "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace" tour as it made a stop in nearby Indianapolis. It had been 8 long years since we caught Dave, Taylor, Nate, and Chris (at Rupp Arena during the tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers). And man, what a long wait that was. Was it worth? HELL YES!!!
What a show. I am sure that Slick will have a nice little recap up on the blog here in a minute, but don't take our word for it - judge for yourself. Here is the video I shot of "Everlong". For those of you with inquisitive minds, we had seats at the end of the arena up from general admission. There was a main stage and a smaller stage nearer to us where the band did an acoustic set. The video starts with Dave on this stage at the end of the acoustic set.
Enjoy!!!

This song just makes me melt! So romantic!
Must concur, this was one excellent show. The band did a good job showcasing both its lineups--the expanded, eight-person band that's featured on the last couple of albums, and the core four-piece of the classic-era songs. I loved the forty-five-minute excursion to the stage near our seats for a semi-acoustic show.
One beef, though, Dave: You don't get to berate the fans who've never seen you before for waiting so long...when you haven't been to Indy (or nearby Cincinnati, Louisville, or Lexington) in eight years! Don't take so long next time.
