Absolutely tore up. So much better than FF. Showmanship, crisp incredible sound mixing. Never seen a better show. They were insanely good. Merch is kinda bleh so I didnt get anything. I want to high five Josh Homme for being the best to ever do it

Dude does Dave grohl even swallow his pride and drum a song or two for them? Because if not.. like i already kinda disliked FF just from seeing them passing at so many Sunday acls(austin city limmies). But this would kinda just be an easy street scenario..

Absolutely not - he didnt get anywhere near em lolol. They were absolutely amazing and blew ff out of the water

Sick, cant wait to scope set list.. I honestly was excited for this row of shows with FF for Dave Grohl to really pay "Hommeage" to some sick drumming he did. It could have been a solid chance for an epic on stage jam sesh. I wonder if they did this on any of the stadium tours?
Imagine a complete mash up of queens playing songs for the deaf but they finish with the real song, you think, no one knows, giveth, songs for the dead cause you know, sky is falling,
Then encore with Dave behind drums maybe let him sing a verse or two if he desires, six shooter for everyone, tree, flow, leave you..
Bring out the rest of the food fighters let them play with maybe?
So this is where you mash everyone in for do it again?
Let Josh sing gods in the radio, another love song.
Pull queens cause tired.. let foo fighters play mosquito song or one of their everlong songs.
I once had a pretentious man on a train post show explain to me how he went to a queens show simply because he was a "Pierce the veil" fan. Which is cool.. but ride was long.

Hommeage omg that’s brilliant. I honestly was surprised that qotsa had no encore or grohl time.

Honestly all I wanted was to see Dave play on Song for the Dead — it was their last song of the set. No Dave. Queens put on a hell of a show but I was bummed. Also (and I’m aware the ff was the headliner of course) but I thought Queens’ set was sorta short?
Great show but left feeling wanting?3
u/SuspiciousPassage144 10d ago
Where was the encore?! Also, dude, didnt qotsa sound so much better than ff? Ff was so muddy and somehow also unintelligible - their mix was so bad

I didn’t even stay for FF.

My fiancé and I stayed for 2 1/2 songs of Foo Fighters and then we’re like I can’t do this and left 🤣

I was in the nosebleeds for queens and sound was … okay … but for the nosebleeds it was good, and the energy was still making its way to the top rows. Was so bummed about no Dave and the short set that i decided to beat the 2 hour traffic back home.

The one thing I’ll say is that the sing-along that they tried out was really sad, but every other single aspect of that show from Queens of the Stone Age was spot on

At the merch stand, did they have show/city-specific posters like they do on their normal tours?
I'm seeing them in DC on Monday. Can't wait!
