It has me hoping that the Foo Fighters show gets to us in September and has a shot at Merriweather rather than Patriot Center!!

I don't think that's a very good venue at all for this band.

Anybody see them last time they came to the DC-area? Were they any good?

Yeah I saw them at the Smith Center and while it was not without it's moments I thought it was lacking. The Detroit Cobras later that night at Iota were much better :D

i dunno it's the best large rock n' roll venue in the area… as opposed to DAR,etc. Get Pit tickets it will be like seeing them at the club. plus, i heard theres this little club on the grounds where awesome djs spin before the headliner comes on…

plus two dc dates were floated for them… which could mean that they do two shows at MPP and only sell pavallion seats, meaning a less traffic heading up 95

And the Shins are the opening band which makes this even better.

I'm not sure I would go either…I like the White Stripes just fine, but love the Shins and Brendan. WHy can't those 2 play at the 9:30 instead and the White Stripes get someone else to open? Sigh.
