I fucking hate stadium shows. Better than nothing I guess but just horrible places for a concert.

I cant find the article but the guy running the video for the big screen behind the band said that he signed up for a three year tour. He said that you can't turn down something like that in his line of work.

The only one that I peeked at Syracuse is on a Friday is it a stadium? 

It’s a dome, formerly called the “ carrier dome”

big hefty bag roof…. It’s aight I guess…. I think 55,000 for concerts 

Yeah not for me! Hope they decide to do an arena tour at some point.

I didn't realize RHCP had enough of a following to do a stadium tour, but I guess this is the way it's going to be.   The big headlining bands left from the 80s/90s are reducing in number, so the ones that keep tour will keep drawing bigger audiences.

I didn't either, and I had little interest in seeing them until I saw that they were playing songs from their full catalog and not just the same mid-tempo hits from the past decade. Now I wish they were playing somewhere near me.

I went to the same high school as the original line-up (I was 3 grades younger), and it was always a joyful occasion to see them live up until the mid-90s. However, when they stopped doing their "oldies", it was no longer the fun show I grew to love in my youth.

One of my earliest RHCP shows on Halloween in 1986 also featured The Dickies, Thelonious Monster....and Guns n Roses....great sample of what was happening on the Los Angeles music scene at the time!

I was also lucky enough to see the triple bill of RHCPs, Nirvana & PJ in December 1991.

How I yearn for the old days!

Wow! Super cool shows. Lot's of great music brewed up back then. Sure you are glad you took advantage of it.

I'm an east coaster and immersed myself when I could. My show resume is not as wild as yours

I was lucky enough to start going to shows when I was 14!

I believe the surge in popularity can be mostly attributed to the return of John. It is the consensus of a lot music journalists and other music media i have read. That,  and they haven’t toured since 16-17
I guess people like overpriced hour and a half shows, zero interaction with the crowd, and severely over-rated music🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Ouch! Thanks for stopping by! 

Hi!

I’ve always been just kind of a casual fan. I mean before this year I would of said that Californication was their best album. I’m not of that opinion anymore. I love these last two albums. I have been listening to Canteen non-stop. I prefer it to UL, but both are incredible IMO.

I’m embarrassed to admit that this was the first year I had seen them and thought the show was great. Not a big fan of stadium shows but being on the field was fun @ fuck. Im not a musician so I really hate trying to comment on how they played or whatever, but yeah, they’re amazing. I really have a new appreciation/understanding of them than maybe I did before. The video screen behind them was cool as well.  I will definitely be seeing them again if the swing through Illinois or Michigan. And I just started listening to Iggy Pop so my brain is starting to go into information overload!! Too much music, not enough time in the day!

Here some crowd interaction for ya, and based on your sour comment I think you might be able to grant AKs wish with an attitude like that.😉

Yuck!

I saw them at woodstock, the riotless one, and they were far from dull. Giant lightbulb costumes and had the crowd take there shirts off and twirl over our heads. Super wild.

Haijay

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey, i don’t have a VAHEENA!!!!! And, that was absolutely classless and disgusting for him to say that. When he’s almost 40 there and the crowd is mostly 25 and younger.  Gross

Yep, that’s a nasty request. Reminiscent of the time that one artist removed hers during a live performance. It also seems like a typical spastic AK comment.
