yes, it's sort of a standard "pavilion" structure with a big lawn in the back, similar to the Hollywood Casino Music Theater south of Chicago (My word that's what it's called now?). Probably fits 25000 or so.

25k is a nice size venue and imo, always better to catch bands outdoors when the weather is warmer. Well, as long as the sound system is good and the beer garden is close by.

 

Yeah, that place in Tinley Park has changed names a few times. Last time I was there it was The World Music Theatre but that was 2000 when I went to see Megadeth and The World's sound system was absolutely horrible! Haven't been there since but I'm not far away from Sears Centre so I try and catch bands there when I can. I really miss Poplar Creek since it was outdoors and close by but that's been gone for over 20 years so there's really no outdoor venues close to me any more which kinda sucks.

Foo Fighters rocked the hell out of a sold out Wrigley field last night.

New Macklemore song is great. The video is even better.

Is Dave Grohl still playing in a throne because of his leg?

Yep, though it looked like he had a big walking boot on now instead of a hard cast.

My brother in law worked security at the show, and my entire facebook feed was videos and pictures of friends who were having a blast at the show. Then i see my brother in laws post later in the evening "Thank god its over"

 

lol

Is that that Downtown song? I wasn't sure what was worse, the song or the video. They were both just so, so bad.

Yeah, no. I'm assuming you mean downtown, which, to me, is your average annoying pop song.

Logic is coming out with his second album this fall, and he released the first song last week. It's decent.

Loving the new Silversun Pickups album

Mountain At My Gates is such a good song.

Haven't really listened to them since Swoon. Similar vibe, or different?

I'd say it's very similar to Neck of the Woods.

 

 

The new Clutch album is awesome!

Its like they combined Swoon and Neck of the Woods

Just gave it a listen, it's not grabbing me the first time through like their last two did.

Cage The Elephant announced that their new album will be out in December

Doubt it happens because Axl is a dick, but this would make a lot of money

I had tickets but could not make it. I should have tix for Saturday in Detroit and I am seriously considering driving there.

Foo Fighters released a free EP on Monday titled Saint Cecilia. It's decent. The title track is good. How can you not like free unexpected Foo Fighters music?

I saw this and I listened to whatever song autoplayed on their website. I didn't find it very interesting, but I haven't really liked any FF tunes for a while now.

It is indeed possible to not like free unexpected music. I haaaaaaaated that album U2 dumped onto my iTunes without my knowledge or consent. Blecch.

There were so many good Internet jokes about this when it happened.

 

"Want to go to the U2 concert tomorrow?"

"Oh, are we gonna go to it or are they gonna break into our living room and play for us there?"

You get the impression from Dave Grohl that Sonic Highways in general was a kind of "phone it in" thing. They toured all over the country and wrote cheap songs that sound like all their other songs about their experiences.

 

It's too bad, too. Wasting Light was one of their better efforts in some time.

At this point it's pretty clear Grohl is more focused on the expansion of the Foo Fighters brand (ie the HBO show) than the music itself. But the music is still enjoyable, even if it's not as good as the Colour and the Shape or There Is Nothing Left to Lose.

Local H at HOME bar in Arlington Heights next Saturday, highly recommend this show for a fun time
