Here's my online friend's review of last night's Chicago show:
Show started promptly at midnight, and they ripped through about 80 minutes of original material with next to no ****ing around. Amazing opportunity to be reminded what a beast Grohl is on the drums and the rhythm he and John Paul Jones laid out was amazing. Josh Homme was sharper, less sludgy, sounding than on of the Queens stuff and carried lead vocals the entire show. It's hard to talk in depth about a show that was entirely unreleased material, but the potential this album has it very high, even with the added burden of being a 'supergroup' there is some serious potential for the album to be a nasty little evil rock record.
I should also add, one of the best parts about the show was how much fun they were obviously having, JPJ almost more than anyone else seemed to really be getting a kick out of the night.
