Just had a text from my son who is at the Reading Festival. He's watching them right now 
I've asked him to report back but I expect he'll have better things to do 
Also have offspring at Leeds festival. They called me very excitedly to tell me that Grohl/Homme & Jones played for an hour un-announced at one of the smaller stages. They've inherited my good taste and said this was awesome.

Just to move away from this thread for a second. David, i have never understood why people use text while watching a gig, i see it all the time, makes this man very GRUMPY!

Can't say it bothers me although you won't catch me doing it. It's a generational thing I suppose. Simply telling your mates (or in this case your dad) what you're doing in real time rather than, say, posting here some time after the event. No more distracting than taking photos I reckon.
My son was very excited when he heard TCV had played Leeds the afternoon before and got to the stage early. Apparently the NME Stage tent was packed for the performance and there were hundreds more outside watching it on a screen.
Review from the NME website here...
I also see people texting whilst driving!!!! I don't understand that one at all.
Oops!! I think i have repeated myself here, i think i've also posted this on the RANT thread..... never mind

Well, I'll be able to report back and tell you what TCV are like live. Our 2 teenagers were desperate to see them so I promised I'd take them if I could get tickets (which I nearly didn't).
After nearly an hour of battling with the useless service of SeeTickets we suddenly found that a) a second gig had been added for Hammersmith on 18th December and b) Ticketmaster were selling tickets for the London shows after all despite only advertising sales for Edinburgh yesterday evening.
And scalpers are already selling them on Ebay even though they only went on sale at 10:00 this morning and so depriving real fans of the chance to buy tickets at face value 
Uh oh, I think I'd better cross over to the rant thread too
QotSA were pretty bad a$$. This is one of my favorite songs by them:

Well done, Dad. 
If only I'd known they were going to add the Friday date too. 
Never mind, my ears will appreciate the rest. I'm sure you'll enjoy it, David.

My two offspring bought me a ticket for the Edinburgh gig.
How cool is that?
I'm maybe not convinced that I'm being invited so the travel and accomodation costs get landed on me - but at least they don't think I'm too old/daft/senile to go with them!
My Humble two cents.
I'm just going to go ahead and say that Foo Fighters are bigger than Nirvana. Nirvana was admittedly more influencial considering the time, but if you look at Hits, Grammy's, albums (six platinum plus), better videos (although Nirvana had GREAT videos) etc.
I always believed Foo Fighters put out a better product and are more entertaining in concert.
Grohl also has better taste in guitars than Kurdt Cobain. Although his options were limited because he was a lefty
I liked Nirvana, but I haven't listened to them in years. I love the Foo Fighters, and to me their stuff never gets old.
