Saw the Foo Fighters last night (Spoilers I guess?)
terrrrrrrrrrific show. I was way in the back but it was plenty loud and they played for 2 and half hours, something from every album and 4 really neat covers - Under Pressure with Dave on drums and Taylor Hawkins singing with a Freddy Mercury look-alike. They also did Alice Cooper's Under My wheels and Van Halens "Jump" but to the tune of Lennon's Imagine. Cool mash-up. My favorite cover though was Blitzkrieg Bop. I loooooooooove that song. and it sounds great played loud and fast and live by a rock and roll band.
One thing (among many things) I admire about the Foos is they don't gouge you on t-shirt and other merch prices. Regular Ts with tour dates on the back were 25 bucks. 3/4 sleeve shirts were only 30. They had some for a little more and some for a little less (kids sizes and such) and a ton of peripheral items (Tour-only vinyl LP black on black version of the new album. still kicking myself for not getting that). I got a FF patch for my battle vest for 5 bucks. Those prices are in keeping with the small bands I see at local clubs. So my hat's off to the Foo Fighters for that.
By comparison, I think Judas Priest shirts are going for 45~50 bucks. Metallica was getting 60. Maybe if I could go back in time and re-purchase my Monsters of Rock Metallica Metal Up Your Ass in my current size I'd pay 60 but I haven't even liked anything they've done since the $5.98 ep. Not paying that for a weird wired world whatever shirt it is now. ANd if I could do that, I'd go back a few more years and get a Screaming For Vengeance shirt from Priest too.
anyway, if you get a chance to go, do it. They tear it up.

Flying in the sky.
There are reports by bomber crews in WW2 of being followed by them.
