Doesn't look like we'll get a lot of that this time around.

"While the Foos were talking about doing full-on unplugged gigs on this tour, they won't be showing that face this time around.

"Don't look for us to be pulling out the acoustic guitar and the stools on this trip," Shiflett says. "

for people that went to the Amp before, how is security for cameras?
I'm hoping to bring in my digital but don't want to risk losing it

What usually sucks with shows is that they don't check everyone

Here's the Calgary Sun review of last night's show. They must have been something special for that douchebag Mike Bell to write such a positive review. I've never seen him heap so much praise on a band before. Usually he hates everything (especially anything involving The Tragically Hip). Anyway, here it is:

I read that review but I didn't check who wrote it. Wow, given his history, that is surprising. He's practically gushing over the Foos... not that they don't deserve it, but still.

Hope people who are seeing them enjoy the show... just wish I could be there. Sad

The show was awesome last night, it was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. These guys live have a ton of energy and play some great full on rock and roll. Fantastic light show too.

Dave is a comedy machine in between as well. There was a dude on the floor wearing a giant dick costume for some odd reason that Dave commented on for a few minutes... you're a big dick.. and on and on. Lotta talk of the White hats city hall gave them as well.

Good times had by all. Too bad it wasn't a sell out for them though. Everyone who was there looked to be having a great time though.

Foo show last night was very good. I am getting offically "old", I had to use ear plugs, after the last show I was at (Green Day) I couldn't hear for a few days. Anyway, very nice stage set up with very cool screens. They played all the classics and a few tunes from the new album. The funniest thing I have hear in awhile was a young girl ask her boyfriend who that guy was? (Dave) He responded, that was the drummer for Nirvana, she thought that was "Cool"...

Hahaha
That is pretty funny

Few more days till I get to see them in TO
Wonder if the show will be different(setlist wise) since Sloan isn't slated to open this one, maybe more playing time for Foos, or Constantines

As far as I've seen, it's been pretty much the exact setlist so far for all the shows, not bad but I would've thought it woud've been a little more mixed up from the "anti" rock stars.

I was also on the floor for the Winnipeg show. Great concert although the moshing got a little out of hand at times. If I'm paying $60 to see a band I kind of like to watch them play rather than have to elbow a bunch of stupid kids with no shirts on. Anyways, it was a good night, had a good time talking to a very hot girl, didn't get a phone number unfortunately!
