Foo Fighters at The Forum March 5th, 2008

The Fabulous Forum welcomed home The Foo Fighters on Wednesday night. The idiot at the OC Register gave the Cox Arena show only 3 stars. How can you be bored at a Foo Fighters show? Get off the pipe sir! Anyway, yes they did their usual set of hits and orchestrated the acoustic set very well and methodically. It is the power of the music that gets fans going. And also how well these musicians can execute these songs. Well, Ben from the OC, these guys sure have suprised me yet again. It is always a party atmosphere at these shows, with a few suprises. The "Valley" is Dave's home now and I think I can sum up the Foos sound. Seasoned Alternative LA Beach Rock! That is the best I can come up with after only 4 hours sleep and still feeling WEAK! Dave can sure Jam the guitar blues like on "This Is a Call" Check out my video on You Tube>> http://www.youtube.com/cota2007 Yes, video quality sucks, but at least you can hear the guitars okay. When Stuart Copeland from The Police came out and kicked Taylor off the skins to play "Next To You", I was floored. With Taylor on the mic, you can bet Dave was even impressed! The slowed down version of "Big Me" was one of the other highlights for me. No complaints here, except for my throbbing HEAD and the fact Dave likes Coors light. Oh well.

SAINT PATRICK'S DAY, 2008

Mentryville in Santa Clarita witnessed another gathering of festive runners for a 5k run. I came in second for my age division with a time of 23:59. That is 17 seconds slower than last year. I better cut back on the Patron, AGAIN! St Paddy's day on Monday was a crazy start to the week, but I'll survive. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger. But, as the famous Robert Plant said, "To trip is to only fall." Photo on http://www.flickr.com/photos/9649499@N02/2349759831.
On the concert front, Eddie Vedder at The Wiltern coming on April 12th. Still gotta score tix! The Police are coming to The Hollywood Bowl on June 10th? Robert Plant and Allison Krauss will be together for two shows at The Greek in June.
Have a Happy Easter and Good Friday!
