with you sparks, bit middle of the road for me, bit disapointing after all the hype! but then when you get to the point they have, you sometimes have to take risks and I dont feel its paid off. HOWEVER I will be trying tot get tickets to go see them! I still like 'from nothing'
I think the problem is their last album was so good that it was always going to be a hard act to follow. sparks_E39 said:

New album isn't all that. Shame, I'm a massive fan.
I'm a fan, but their output seems to have been the law of diminishing returns since 'There is nothing left to lose'. Arguably earlier.However, their 'Sonic Highways' documentary series on iPlayer - which focuses on the cities they recorded the new album in, not that much on the Foos themselves - is well worth a watch.

I can also highly recommend Sound City for any DG fans who haven't seen it.

Tickets for Wembley are 55 in the gods, 65 on the pitch or 85 for the middle tier plus a booking tax, 85 fking pounds, who the bell sets these prices?!
Indeed, it's insane. Didn't stop me though! Got 3 tickets for the pitch this morning which came to almost £74 per person...king pounds, who the bell sets these prices?!Off to Manchester. £55 ticket, plus "fees" made it £62.50 Per ticket. THEN a £6.50 secure postage fee.
Add to that the pain that was Gigsandtours booking system. I was ready, 9am, with the code that had been sent to me (I feel for those who struggled) but why then release a secret code to everyone?? Made a farce of presales for the fans. In the system, then kicked out, 20 minutes after re signing in and waiting on their "we have a lot of people" screen, i finally got the 4 tickets I was after.
I don't understand why each venue could not have had it's own release date. We all knew it would be manic and crash the system having 6 dates all go on the same day

I was expecting around 50-60, 85 is abit crazy imo! but then I know I am gunna get a good show from them at least and often they play for twice as long as other bands too and always seem to have good supports acts! their last tour in the UK was like a mini one day festival at the MK Bowl.
Was too busy to get online for the presale so will give the general sale a go. Let's see how hard it ends up being to get a single ticket for Sunderland. I don't get how these ticket websites set up their servers as all of them seem to have issues when major acts release tickets. I've had issues with pretty much all of them.
