Fantastically entertaining show - we sat at the back because I was tired (long day building IKEA furniture) and thought it was kind of lucky that Josh Homme is sort of double-sized, it meant that it seemed we were closer..
The crowd got a little lost in some numbers - John Paul Jones came out with some electric bouzouki/oud sort of thing and played what I thought was the coolest track of the night, but all the confused, stationary heads in the crowd looked like they were having trouble counting to 9 - they couldn't keep up...
As always, Dave Grohl did a great 'Animal' impression (I think we may both have watched too much Sesame street as kids) - and some really nice touches, some double-sticking a la Gene Krupa (and a lot of snare-off work, again, a la Gene Krupa) - Josh's guitar tone was awesome, and I think he's accidentally turned into a 'real singer' over the last couple of years...
All in all - a very entertaining show, but possibly due to my lack of familiarity with the material, it was more a really entertaining show with great bits, rather than a great all-round show.. I did like the love song Homme dedicated to Jones...
It's just a shame Dave wouldn't let them play any encores..
