Global Festival NYC 2012

Seeing Foo Fighters in Central Park under a warm starlit fall sky was absolutely incredible… especially considering the money spent on tickets went to a good cause.
WD and I landed in Newark exactly 1.5 hours before Foo Fighters were set to go on stage so we hauled a** through the streets of NY and once we got to our hotel, we pretty much threw our bags over the hotel counter and high tailed it out of there while screaming, «we’ll be back later to check in!»
There really are no words to describe the energy in Central Park when the Foo Fighters were playing. Grohl’s voice is incredible and the fan energy was unmistakable as soon as he played the first note. Among the sea of people WD and I jammed out and sang along to every song it what now appears to be the last know tour for the Foo Fighters. The organization for this event was beyond impressive and the VIP section was definitely worth it… all that was behind us was a sea of people under the NYC skyline. And while I’m sure it wasn’t fun to stake out a spot but let me tell you, you all made for an amazing photo-​opp… the skyline danced above you as the stage flashes from the Foo Fighters lit up your faces (see picures).
Neil Young & Crazy Horse came on after and maybe I don’t ‘appreciate’ music enough to appreciate them but… they were too weird, even for ME! So, we left shortly after they took to the stage and were happy campers with our commemorative VIP lanyards and complimentary Posters in hand.
Fingers crossed Foo Fighters reunite sometime soon so WD and I can relive the memories of singing, or rather screaming, along to «Best of You»!
PS — Not sure how I am the First to Review… seems like the listing is gone.
