Review of a fan seeing the band for the first time

Im a long time fan but never got a chance to see the band live and yesterday it finally did happen

It took place in Ernst Happel stadium in Vienna. I had tickets in the front pit and arrived 1 hour after doors opened and still managed to be close to the stage around 10 meters. Right when i arrived the first support act started it was Fat dog and let me tell you what and amazing band. Next were the Idles and the stadium started to get packed and the bands energy was uncanny even got the chance to see their guitarist right in front of me since they like to interact with audience and join the pit.

And then the Foos came on and started with All my life and the whole stadium exploded then continued with their biggest hits and they put on 3hours of freakin rock n roll show. I watched interview with Dave where he said that after every show he puts his guitar in the air that covers his face and says thank god its fuckin over and i think he did it here as well :D

3 hours is fckin long time can't imagine how exhausted they must have been but I feel like this is the only band i can watch for 3 hours and not get bored.

My biggest highlights were of course their favourite hits, the acoustic thing they do at the end of the catwalk had really good atmosphere, drum and guitar solo of fucking Ilan Rubin i felt the kick drum inside of my whole body :D and i have to mention the song I didnt think I would enjoy the most but I did and it was the Teacher.

If you have never seen the band before and you are about to, you are in for a fucking wild ride lets rock on!

Question for those that already attended their gig on this tour

How big is the front of the stage area? I've seen some footage from yesterdays gig in Paris and the barrier at the end looked to be pretty far from the stage. I ask cause I have front of the stage tickets in Vienna and dont wanna end up far away since its gonna be my first time seeing the band
