The Foo Fighters (and Weezer) come to PDX.

Traci and I, along with some friends were fortunate enough to see the Foo Fighters on 10/25 at the Memorial Colosseum. I must be getting old... 'cause it was loud, even with my ear plugs in. But we were sitting all of 75' from Stage Right. (see flocito's blog for a photo). Weezer was okay... the familiar stuff was much more enjoyable. There were two high-school age girls sitting... rather standing in front of me the whole time blocking 65% of my view. I am getting old.

Traci was tired, and left after Weezer. I didn't know that the Foo Fighters were going to be playing so late... but it was well worth it. The rumors are true, they put on one kick-ass show filled with "hit, after hit, after hit, after hit..." Dave Grohl's stage banter is good too. All you wannabe rock stars, take notes. This being my first Foo Fighter's concert, I didn't realize how many hit songs the Foo's have.

On Monday, I learned that my guitar instructor was also at the concert. He plays in a band called "Western Aerial". I didn't see any of this from my vantage point, but I learned that he was tossing demo CDs at Dave Grohl. I'm curious as to whether this tactic works for getting people to listen to your stuff?
