Live Nation’s Jimmy Koplik was on with Chaz and AJ this morning to talk about the details that fell into place to bring the Foo Fighters to Toad’s Place tonight. The band decided on playing select clubs, and the history of Toad’s Place was a major selling point.
The state was shocked and excited when the Foo Fighters made a surprise announcement yesterday, that they are performing at Toad’s Place tonight! News 8 sent Bob Wilson to talk to the folks in line, and they all had great answers for how they heard the news. (0:00)
Of course, not everyone could get tickets, so some folks waited for hours with no luck. Chaz and AJ spoke with David Biller, Janina, and Ansonia Mayor Cassetti about their attempts to get in. (11:17)

This morning’s Top 10 list was hosted by AJ, all about the film franchises that are ripe for a Hollywood do-over. In typical AJ fashion, he half-remembered most of the movies and overly complicated the “little tidbits” for his list. Then, Jennifer was on the phone as AJ explained his next cancer treatment, why he’ll be out of the studios for a few weeks, and even fonud a way to laugh about the terrible side-effects he’ll most likely endure.
