anyone Go last night?
The peppers were fucking great, they know how to please the crowd. and they are still fucking crazy. John frusciante is a guitar god. he melted my face all night long. he was just unbelievable!!!!!!!!!!!
the mars volta, I love them and think they are great but last night they were a bit over the edge. I thought id hear some hits, or at least maybe a song or two from Deloused, but no they did maybe a couple songs and what seemed like a hour long jam. dont get me wrong i loved it and thought it was sick, and Omar is amazing. but i thought as an opening band they would try to appeal to the crowd alittle more.

the show was good, was hoping to hear under the bridge but loved hearing give it away now and soul to squeeze!!!!!!!!
did you catch when the tech was tuning johns guitar and started playing alive? heehee. the guy behind me said to his girl "i think thats alive". haha!
The Chili's were better than expected for this jaded old Chili-head. I really didn't even recognize any of the new material (cept for the first hit) but their showmanship and chops were outstanding.
Been seeing them for nearly twenty years now so the changes over time are obvious.
Like the time they headlined the Chestnut Cabaret in Philly (Oct 22, 1987 to be exact..I think) and after the show they (Anthony specifically) had to sell their own t-shirts at the little merch table.
Or who could forget the time they headlined the Temple University Spring Fling concert with Fishbone, Thelonious Monster and the Busboys also on the bill. (March or April of 1988)
Anthony was so sick that afternoon he couldn't take the stage so Angelo from Fishbone had to front the Chili's. That was my last time seeing the original guitarist too.
Some observations from last night:
1-Anthony ought to leave his extra layers on. Homeboy is gettin a little thick and out of shape these days.
2-John is obviously a Top Ten rock guitar god these days but is also on the Top Five list of ugliest living rock musicians. ;-)
3-I wonder how many people realize that Flea's bass is actually a growth out of his hip and can't be removed other than surgically. Have you ever seen him with out it?????
4-Chad is chad....but what is up with those white jumpsuits?????
5-A surprising number of people seemed really into The Mars Volta this time around (compared to their System of a Down opening slot a ways back). And that's a good trend.
6-My favorite Chili's concerts (with Arik Marshall on guitar that tour) are still the three I saw when they headlined Lollapalooza in 1992. Because I damn sure wasn't there to see some band that came on 2nd each day called........PEARL JAM! ;-)
Glad to hear you enjoyed the Volta.From what I've read most of people were not into their 30-minute jam.But they played Day of The Baphomets, which was great!How's the new drummer?

The new drummer was good but not as much a presence a Theo. They are so damn cohesive and play off each other like nobodys business.
They did play exactly an hour too.....
I've been going to concerts for 31 years now and bands like them just don't come around much. I expect they won't be around forever either.
Admittedly they'll never be to everyones liking which is fine with me.
It was a fun show and they rock, but I really missed the interaction with the crowd that PJ has. Plus I was talking to Matt Cord before the show and he showed me the setlist so I was kinda bummed that they weren't going to be playing Under the Bridge. He even said to me off the air that their setlists are nothing compared to Pearl Jam's and that they've been playing essentially the same sets since August. It was good to hear him sticking up for the boys ... lol

'dont forget me', 'blood sugar sex magik'!?!?!
Some die just to live.
yeah I saw them last month in canada and was pumped to hear bssm in particular. They're good on this tour and TMV have grown on me too. I liked Tetragrammaton (sp?).

Awesome i'm seeing them tonight. I saw them on the system tour too and i was worried it might be like that again. I'm upset Jon is gone but i'm sure it will be great still

I need some help from chili pepper fans. they played a song that i have not heard that i loved. I own blood sugar sex magik, californication, and stadium arcadiam. I also have What Hits. I don't think it was on any of those. I don't remember much about the song it had the lyric "never alone" in it. I know that is not much it was a great song John went off on it.
I realize no one will probably know the song from that does anyone know the set list from last night's show? I went to the RHCP page, but you have to be a fan club member to check out their forums. Anyone a member? Anyone know what the setlist was. Maybe if i saw it i could pick the song out.
Thank you so much for any help!

you are the MAN! I'll have to sit down over the weekend and figure it out. The show was great. Chad came out after the encore and did a drum solo and the drums just went into sunday bloody sunday and John walks out from the back playing along and runs up to the mic and they do the first verse and chorus! I could of lied was a very pleasant surprise it was great. john came out after the show and said if Alan Hayes ( i think that is the name he said) is in the audiance or if any of you all know alan hayes tell him i said thank you he was the first guy i played guitar with and all i know is he is in Atlanta now and i've been thinking about him all show.
It was better then i expected. john seemed to be on fire

Mars volta were great too. I am actually more of a TMV fan then a RHCP fan. Some of the RHCP fans seemed a little shocked by the music. Particularly the 14 year olds in the crowd. It was funny to watch their expression. they ended with Viscera Eyes and Day of he Baphomets which i think is a great one tow punch to end the show!
