Foo Fighters set length...

[Justiceforcedave]

I'm guessing the stage times were just wrong then? The set was amazing but when they finished playing everlong I was anticipating them coming back on with some guests or something? Still like I said awesome set regardless!

[RichieParf]

I was surprised - maybe they've had to move the curfew earlier for Sunday cos of transport stuff with all the crap they're doing at Reading station?

[mrtourette]

As only start times were published everyone understandably assumed Foos would be finishing at 11.30 as with every other day and every other year, for whatever reason the main stage finished half an hour early yesterday. Probably something to do with not wanting the whole site leaving at the same time on the busiest day, or something like that.

Good to hear you only got the same length as Leeds after missing out on Green Day Green Day's name didn't go down well when bands mentioned that one at Leeds yesterday!

[mrtourette]

Does anyone know if they put finishing times in the official lanyard thingy, or just start times?

[Mouseboy11]

Did anyone get those dollar bills? I have one and don't know what to make of it.

Orrr?

[mrtourette]

It was just start times.

[mrtourette]

a half-hearted term for a person with emotional issues

I don't want to post the entire document because I don't know if I have the right to.

But Foos were meant to have 3 hours.

Was anyone else annoyed that the foos did a 5 min solo and drum solo during EVERY Song? I forgot what song I was listening to half the time.

[Eop]

It was a little disheartening when Everlong started at 5 to 11 but at the end of day that setlist was amazing. Plus they played Alone + Easy Target. what more could someone want.

Nah, it wasn't that frequent, and it was enjoyable. What annoyed me more was they did the stop, listen to the crowd and do nothing, start again very frequently.

First time at a Foo's gig?

It didn't bother at Milton Keynes as I'd never seen them before but it got on my nerves yesterday.

[Chavmeisterdeluxe]

We still got 4 more songs at Reading.

[Justiceforcedave]

I wonder if there were supposed to be some guests who pulled out at the last min? Either that or it's just a mistake I guess?

I got a set list and the songs that were on there were the ones we got.

[micawber]

I enjoyed the set but was it me or is his voice knackered? I thought he sounded very rough compared to 10 years ago.

[VCK]

I didn't go, and I really regret it because the Foos looked absolutely mindblowing last night on the telly (as well as Gaslight looking realy good). I've seen them loads and they've always been amazing live, but last night they just seemed on another level altogether.

I think they've upstaged The Stone Roses for the title of "Performance Of The Year", and I also think last night's set will go down in history.

It was a very special gig that felt draped in history and relevence. At times it verged on self indulgent, but it was never boring.

Times Like These almost had me in tears.
