Foo Fighters

After seeing the tattoo on Monday most of the same people went to see the foo fighters in their biggest outdoor concert on Tuesday night (21st August).
The concert was at Medowbank stadium and there really were thousands of people there just to see one group perform.

Once the Nine inch nails finished their set it was time for the main show as the sun had gone down a light rain began to fall the crowd were beginning to push their way towards the stage and the light show went into full swing. Me and chris (our local crazy canadian friend) began to make our way to the front of the crowd through the masses waiting for everyone to start jumping so it was possible to move forwards. Once up the front we heard 'my hero', 'monkey wrench' and a couple of other songs which was a lot of fun, but when your feet aren't touching the ground, you're holding a camera in one hand and your glasses in another (because they did fall off once and i very luckily managed to catch them before they got destroyed) it's quite difficult to stop yourself from falling down in the surging masses and getting squished, so i very slowly managed to get back to a safe distance and watch the show with the rest of the group. Chris did manage to get right to the fence up front (he had the bruise to prove it) and slap dave groll on the back when he walked past.

When i first got the ticket i knew that i did know some of the songs they sing but by the end i recognised all the songs except for one which was their new release so it made it possible to sing along the whole night and leave feeling good about the decision to go in the first place.

Like most of these kinds of events i do have some videos which gives a better idea of how things were but it's just pictures today.

All in all a great show, so if they come to your town make sure you go and check em out.
