Playing as a seven piece band, including the great Pat Smear on some of the older tracks, the Foo Fighters launched their tour in support of Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace with an intimate show at New York's The Fillmore.

The highlight for me was when they went from Nirvana b-side "Marigold" straight into an acoustic version of "My Hero" that had the energized crowd singing along. In fact, the folks who packed the floor sang just about every single line to every song. For "Everlong," Grohl best song, he went solo. They extended "Stacked Actors" into a marathon blues explosion that saw Grohl climbing The Fillmore's wall until he was near the balcony. The encore of "Home" found Grohl playing some piano, which was a nice touch.

A good show all around. Not great, but real good.........
