Flu Fighters return
After postponing their previously scheduled Barnhill Arena appearance due to the flu, the Foo Fighters rescheduled the show and Foo fans all over town rejoiced.
Fans of opening act Against Me!, however, will not be happy tonight when they realize that the band is nowhere in sight. According to Tuned In, Hello Stranger is the only band warming up the stage this evening.
Apparently the Foo Fighters have been putting on one hell of a show this tour so if you’ve got tickets, it looks like you’re in for a treat.
When asked if Dave Grohl would be wearing a mask tonight to keep from catching the currently circulating Fayetteville flu bug, the Foo Fighters’ publicist offered no comments.

This show rocked balls…Both of them.

I heard people “called the hogs” to get them to come back for the encore. Is this true? If it is, can I just say…How embarrassing! This seems to be a trend that is getting a little out of hand. It’s hokey but acceptable at games. It’s at least a cheer and it’s really annoying to opposing fans (bonus). But at a concert??? Come on. It makes us look like some crazy redneck cult.

The show was decent. I’m not really a big fan of anything post-Colour and Shape, so I was particularly enthused to hear “This is a Call” and “Big Me” from the self-titled album. Also, a still-bleach-blond-but-50-pounds-heavier Pat Smear was there…for some reason…which was kind of weird, but cool…for some reason.
And yes, the hogs were definitely called on a couple of occasions; I find this rather unsurprising, however, as (a), most Foo Fighter fans are d-bags, and (b) most U of A students are d-bags.
