- Jackie invited us to a concert tonight with some group called, I think, the "Food Fighters". Sounds like performance art. #
- Wait, maybe it was the "Fugu Fighters" performing – tasty, but lethal when not in practice. #
- Opening act is very energetic. Or, perhaps, epileptic. #
- Up in a corporate box, the amps are all pointed away from us. Ears are nonetheless ringing like a telephone bank. #
- Watching opener prance about w/ cabled mic, sound crew desperately trying to keep him from tripping. Set for meeting safety tips this week. #
- Ah, got it! It's the "FOOM Fighters". Wonder if Stan Lee will make a cameo appearance. #excelcior #
- Margie corrects me: it's the "Pho Fighters". Vietnamese group, I think. #
- "Foo Fighters"? Really? That doesn't make any sense. #
- I believe I am the 5th oldest guy in the Pepsi Center, not counting the security guards. #
- "Flu Fighters" are both musical and seasonally appropriate. #
- Would be even more fun if I could make out a single word being sung, but enjoying audience doing all the City of Heroes dance emotes. #
- Foo Fighters production values well done, music is energetic and palatable, if too loud. But now is time for old fogies to head home. #

I can’t stand live performances unless they’re classical music. Even musicals are too loud for me; we went to see “Cats” and my ears were ringing for hours. But it isn’t an old fogie thing (though I qualify) because it has always been that way for me.
I’ve been to very few contemporary music concerts. I usually prefer them turned down a notch or five on the volume, even groups I like. To me, physiology-altering volume is not what I’m looking for in my music.
