Music Monday - Foo Fighters (with a side of Social D)

I rarely get to go to concerts anymore. One reason is I just don't have the free time I had when I was younger (nor the ability to so freely spend my money). The other reason is Atlanta doesn't get the amount of good bands I assumed it would when I moved here. And honestly, the latter is probably the bigger reason I don't go to many shows anymore.

Even still, I've been able to see a few of my favorite bands since I've been here including Overkill, Judas Priest, and Alice in Chains. A good friend of mine came to see me for the first two shows. The last two I got to see with my wife. It's a great thing being able to share my love of music with her. Granted we don't always see eye-to-eye on music but generally speaking we like many of the same artists/bands.

Last Monday, we were able to see a great show at the Gwinnett Arena. The Joy Formidable and Social Distortion opened for the Foo Fighters. All three bands were solid but Foo Fighters owned the stage, playing for nearly 3 hours which is rare nowadays. What surprised me most was how great of a jam band they were as pretty much all of the songs included an extended interlude with lots of improvisation.

So because of the show, here are a few of the songs that were played.
