Newest Review: ... and "Breakout", to name a few. Rather unexpectedly Mr Grohl talked to us for a while, describing in particular a 'police scene' which he witnessed on the way back to his hotel that day, and how 'Manchester is the toughest city in England' - much to the delight of the crowd. Uncountable crowd surfers and an incredible performance, people will look back at the ... more

What an evening, toned to perfection by the incredible performance of one of the best bands in the world. Supporting the Foos were Cave In, who, despite their unfamiliarity were very impressive, playing a few good songs but not forgetting their commercial tactics; "Buy our CD, only £3" - shortly before exiting stage.

This was no bad thing - the varied nature of their music meant they took the crowd from chilled out to jumping. So much so that shortly into the set, Dave Grohl felt it necessary to stop the set and urge the crowd to move back. His "ground rules" laid out at the beginning of the set to look after each other could not have been more needed. The sudden surge caused worry for both the band and the security at the front. This showed a side of Dave which is admirable. ... Read the complete review
