I am on an assignment at Sam Ash Music in Cerritos, California waiting for Charlie Benante and Frank Bello of Anthrax, David Ellefson of Megadeth, and Mike Portnoy formerly of Dream Theater.
There are approximately 200 people waiting in line already. Sam Ash Music store manager just informed that the event will be running a little bit behind.

I went t see Foo Fighters – Back and Forth screening on April 5th, 2011 followed by a live performance broadcasted in 3-D. Just in case you missed it, you can watch the performance in good old fashion non 3-D. The good news is that you don’t have to wear the 3-D glasses.
Foo Fighters. Live From 606.
Foo Fighters perform Wasting Light in its entirety.
Just in case you missed the Webcast on Tuesday April 12th, 2011: Live on Letterman – Foo Fighters
Foo Fighters played “Wasting Light” in its entirety and then some.
Catch Foo Fighters – Back and Forth if you have a chance.
I went to see Foo Fighters: Back and Forth screening last week and get to see Foo Fighters performed “Wasting Light” in its entirety. I am liking it. I was going to pick it up earlier today, but unfortunately there’s this thing called work. I had to remove a ransomware off an office computer.
Anyway, I’ll be getting it tomorrow Morning.
By the way, Amazon has the song “I Should Have Known” off “Wasting Light” for free on Amazon MP3 download.
