Foo Fighters @ Madison Square Garden, NYC 2/19/08

Wow, in just a week Dave's led his Foos from outside the Grammys straight into the center of Madison Square Garden. Last night was their first performance in MSG over their 13-year tenure as a band. Crazy, no? The show was sponsored by Fuse, maybe because "Fuse" sorta rhymes with "Foos." They aired the set last night and should be upping clips to their site soon. In the meantime, scouring YouTube and checking our tips, we located a triangle solo for you to watch (thanks, AfroJacks).

That dude shreds. Sort of. OK, luckily there's more than that floating around. After the jump, check out a a rip-roaring "Best Of You," a tender "Everlong," and a very shaky (camera, not sonically) "Pretender."

"Best Of You"

"Everlong"

"Long Road To Ruin"

"Marigold" & "My Hero"

"The Pretender"

As far as we can tell, Ann Marie Calhoun isn't there. Not that we could see much.

You couldn't find anything more generic and boring to post?

the drummer on Long Road to Ruin is a kid named Josh who got to play with the Foos in MSG as part of the make-a-wish foundation. THAT is freakin sweet. AND the kid was good too!

NYC had the Foo's and here in LA we had Iron Maiden @ the Forum. They still kick ass but the crowd is a little scary.

Maiden Rules.

Fun show, made me pretty damn nostalgic. Did anybody else watch the video for "Everlong" as soon as they got home?

I have some pics here:

AWESOME SHOW! I have a few questions. Why were there colored bracelets on eveybody's wrists on the floor section? Does everybody wear bracelets at a rock concert in MSG? Or was it just because FUSE was filming the show?

Awesome. I have some questions, why were there colored bracelets on everybody's wrists in the floor section? Do they always put a bracelet on you whenever entering Madison Square Garden? Or was it just because FUSE was filming the show?
