Foals (4/29/11)

Unfortunately, a friend turned 40 this past week. I feel like I can safely say that from two perspectives: one is that he's now 40, and the other because celebrating his party trumped seeing the openers for Foals (Freelance Whales & Naked and Famous).  I wouldn't have it any other way though - he was the guy who designed my logo after all.  :-)

We arrived just in time to visit some friends and grab a drink.  The show was SOLD OUT, and even on the same night as Iron & Wine (Go Cleveland) .  Shortly after that , Foals took the stage and I don't think I stopped concert-dancing until the end.  You see, they jammed... more-so than I was expecting.  Their first 3-5 songs were great.  They were tight and they played some of their newer songs which I knew.  Totally feeling it.

As the show went on, they really drug out some song and got into some jams, going back to their older stuff.  I really wanted to catch a song from beginning to end, but gave up on this one after 6+ minutes.

No complaints though... overall, I was thrilled with Foals.  Breaking many drum-sticks, jumping on speakers and stage-diving... I can see how this band draws an energenic crowd, and then returns the favor.
