Grohl-ish
December 14, 2011
On the weekend I took Eve to the Logan Campbell Centre for a magic show. The show was a bit lame. Amusingly, one of the tricks involved an small explosion and puff of smoke, this set off the smoke alarms and everyone had to evacuate the building. Plenty of people decided it was a good time to leave.
Anyway, I had time to reflect that the last time I was at the Logan Campbell Centre was in 1992 to see Nirvana in concert.
By coincidence, I also went to see Foo Fighters last night at Western Springs stadium. It was a big show — about 50 thousand people all outside in the rain. I enjoyed it, though there was plenty of filler that could have been cut to make a more focussed and intense gig.
That also made me think back to my first ever big stadium concert — also at Western Springs way back in 1986. I seem to recall that there was rain that time too . . .
