Grohl was back on vocals for this one and I thought these were the best two songs of the night. Could the Foos become a cover band? All too soon the night...

Black Crowes show Southern swagger (Philadelphia Inquirer)

Though he might've gotten lost during the wrecked epic that "Downtown Money Waster" became, he made "Paint an Eight" a lemon-squeezing blues howler worthy of Robert Plant with just a few simple "yeahs," and turned Johnny Cash's "Long Black Veil" from murder ballad into a...

Rules: Post 3 things you've done that you believe nobody else on your F-list has done. Indulge in remorse if someone calls you out on a listed item. 1. Had a conversation with Robert Plant (not as interesting a person as you might think...) 2. Given birth with *absolutely no pain relief* - not even a warm bath - and enjoyed it. 3. Played bagpipes on national TV.
