The way I look at it there are many other bands who are currently in their prime such as Muse (who I've seen twice) and Coldplay (who I will be seeing hopefully on the MX Tour whenever that happens. The Chilis are my favourite band and the band that got me into music in general, but there's no question they're past their prime, despite the fact they can still make good music and put on a good show. I can comfort myself knowing that I can see a more current band if I never get the chance to see RHCP. And besides, Frusciante was one of the main reasons I wanted to see them, ever since getting the Hyde Park album, which blew me away when I first heard it at the age of 12 and it remains one of my favourite live albums.

 

If I never get to see them I'll be disappointed, but I can at least be happy seeing my other favourite bands.

I think Josh has vastly improved in the solo department since they started playing live. And yes, I know he's no Frusciante!!! :confused:

The tour is on! Anyone else going?

 

I saw them last night and will again tonight so I'm in a bit of a hurry :D

Was a great show, lots of energy, good looking stage.

Josh is doing just fine on guitar and Femi Kuti was a great choice for warm up band.

We got some rarely played songs: Freaky styley, Breaking the girl and Pea :D

I'll try to record more tonight. Off to the arena! :)

I would like to go, but I'm probably not going. :(

My gf had got tickets for the O2 in November as a surprise but I've given mine to a friend.

:( hope you'll get a chance to see them

I saw you're not thrilled about the new album. I don't know... it's growing on me but at first I had serious doubts.

Anyway, they're still a great live band and I haven't seen enough of them yet :P

Aaaa... post concerts blues :cry:

 

Last night was different. To me it felt a bit more held back, hard to explain.

No Californication, which disappointed many. I don't mind, I've heard it live before so I'm all for dropping the "must play hits" in favour of more unexpected songs.

Will we ever see a concert without Under the bridge? :P

 

I love Flea's bass but I do hope Josh can have a bit more space eventually.

 

Last night's setlist:

 

Monarchy of roses

Universally speaking

Tell me baby

Scar tissue

Look around

Otherside

Goodbye Hooray

She's only 18

Me and my friends

The adventures of rain dance Maggie

Can't stop

Ethiopia

Higher ground

Under the bridge

By the way

Chad & Mauro jam

I've seen them live quite a few times since the Californication Tour including Hyde Park,my friend has never seen them live and he really has wanted to and in honesty I have almost zero interest in seeing them perform without John so I was a nice friend and gave him my ticket:).

They didn't perform two of my favourite songs from IWY. Brendan't Death Song & Did I Let You Know. :disappointed:

 

I have a chance to see them this year, but my parents can't drive there, so...

And none of my friends really want to go. They all listen to either pop or metal.

 

EDIT: Factory of Faith too! :angry:

We got some rarely played songs: Freaky styley, Breaking the girl and Pea :D

 

 

I'm soooo jealous!! Can't believe they played Breaking The Girl. That's awesome. Found one with half decent sound on youtube.

Chipotle I'm totally jealous you got to hear them do Everybody Knows This is Nowhere. I'm obsessed with that cover ever since I saw the yt of them doing it at Koko.

^ Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere was great, so peaceful and beautiful.

It's a really good song, both original version and RHCP's.

 

Breaking The Girl... well, it wasn't perfect but I'm so glad they played it.

 

Excited to see what they play in Holland tonight, hopefully there's some surprise :)

I don't know if you are on twitter, but their sound guy is. He tweeted that someone threw a full beer and it hit the board during the show.

 

"full beer killed the console mid show, duimbass! If ya see people throwing drinks at a gig, gang slap 'em and have them tossed #FB"

 

Too bad, especially because today is Flea and Mauro's birthday! :\ Can they keep going with the show if the console goes out????

Ugh... I didn't know that.

Read now on stadium-arcadium.com the sound was off a few times during the first songs because of this.

Stupid! but no surprise, at least here Dave and the sound guys were in the back of the standing area, the equipment totally unprotected!

I hope it was an accident, not someone throwing beer on purpose :angry:

Probably just some drunk idiot! It sucks though...people paid good money to see that show!

 

I just joined Stadium Arcadium today. I have been putting it off for a long time because I don't need another site to waste time on!!! :P

I've just been lurking on Stadium Arcadium, but I'm going to register.

THEY ARE COMING TO ZAGREB. OMFG. :awesome: Just when I thought I was going to miss this tour. :P :wacko:
