Didn't like it at first, but it grew on me. Looking forward to the rest of the record/series.

Who gets the guy from Cheap Trick to show up and then give him a guitar part a 10 year old who just took his first lesson can play?

They're playing surprise club gigs each week in the cities they recorded in to coincide with the airing of each episode. They played the Cubby Bear in Chicago last week. This Friday they're playing Dave's club in DC, the Black Cat. Tickets for the DC gig were $20, sold at the box office.

I'm really enjoying this series. The only think I don't like is the actual Foo Fighters songs at end with the fairly ham-fisted lyrical attempts at tying all the city musical history and stories together.

I know, right. The Albini studio track was so bland it had no drum tone or character at all. Just anoth FF song.
