Awww, fudge it. I really hope these won't be the only dates Frank is going to play this summer, because:
a) Tickets are more than $50.
b) Tickets will more than likely sell out in seconds.
c) Ack, the Foo Fighters?

| Sounds exciting, but like a rather thankless gig. I bet most of the Foo fans who even know who Frank is will be screaming out Pixies requests. "DEBASER, YOU MUTHA!" "MONKEY GONE TO HEAVEN!" "WHERE'S KIM?" Good luck, Frank. |

If you notice there is a big gap between the Philly and NYC shows - i'm hoping for an FB show or two in between...

interesting. dave grohl has such a huge man crush on frank it's not even funny so i'm sure the pairing was his idea. i saw the foos sometime back in the late 90's and they were very....vanilla.
i hate anyone who doesn't like me. |

mmm vanilla...
No wait, that's bad, right?
I mean bad in the normal way not in the 90's street way just for clarification.

not even french vanilla. we're talking the plain white vanilla that tastes like ice and the inside of your freezer (if said vanilla could scream "yeah!" every between every single verse of every single song).
in other news, dave grohl named his new baby after everyone's favorite honeycomb track. that's how much he loves frank.

Well, the FF shows are acoustic, and as part of their expanded lineup they have Petra Haden on violin which is pretty cool, as well as former FF/Nirvana/Germs dude Pat Smear. So i'm hoping for a more interesting show than usual, but i'll be happy just to see FB.

for those interested in the boston show;
i just got off the phone w/ norman at telecharge.com (800.447.7400) he said the wang center tix will be available tomorrow after 10am.
he might of been mistaken, but i will be calling to see what happens.
w/ the foos as the headliner the 3600 seats will go very fast.
i'm hoping that frank does a few solo gigs in the northeast around that time.
maybe he will make up that beachcomber date or one at the quarterdeck lounge.
a solo show in boston would be fine as well.

Honestly, I really liked the Foo Fighter's work in the 90s; I think their self-titled debut is great. But whatever they are now, it ain't pretty. They've caught the same disease that befell Weezer and Green Day, it seems.
Three days from the Boston show until Chicago. Money's on Frank playing a solo gig during this time. Would love to see him at the The Middle East or maybe even the Beachcomber.

I'd assume since Foo Fighters are playing acoustic, FB would be playing solo acoustic, but no news yet on that front.

Maybe the possibility of playing acoustically with a band (like Pixies at Newport)?
Probably not as likley as a solo performance though. Just a thought.

BF I hope you're right that there are more shows.
Here's my little plug: Minny
Anyway Foo Fighters are awesome. Saw them open up for RHCPs.
Hope I can see my first FB solo gig!!

I went off the Foos a long time ago, but it's pretty cool the Frank's playing with them, anyway. I mean, it's pretty cool that he's actually playing shows!

weird.
a friend of mine is blocked from just about every website while at work and was able to get some afterward.
that must have been after 5pm.
give it another try before they go on sale to the general public.

| East Coast leg? Does that imply a West Coast leg? I know we're spoiled since he plays San Fran a lot, but this sounds like a fun show! |

west coast dates were already announced, and no frank.
I suspect a full west coast frank tour is in the works though.... |

Thats great. Frank Black and the Foo Fighters together! That's got to be one of the sickest shows of the summer. Do you think they will do anything together, like maybe some Pixies covers.

I dont care for the Foo's one bit, but this is great. Frank at the Wang! Are there different prices for different seats? I dont wana pay $50 to sit in the back for a 30 min opener. Anyways, I cant complain, ive been waiting a long time for a FB solo gig.
And here's to hoping that he will play the next night at the Paradise or something. Now that would be awesome! I saw Bobby Bare JR play there a couple months ago, and after the long show he came down and gave the whole audience hugs. it was pretty great. |

Yeah, my seats at the Wang suck, too. But its been so long since I've seen Frank sans Pixies that there is no way I can miss the show. Foo Fighters aren't dreadful, and I bet they put on a good show. It may be over priced, but its the only game in town.

i understand front and center beats upper deck all the time, but there really are not any bad seats in the wang.
just seats that are not as good as others.
the wang's acoustics are amazing.
that is what you are there for anyway.
