    I'll be there too! Just make sure you are there early to take in the spectacle that is THE MARS VOLTA. IMO the second most important band in music!

    I saw them in Boston and they were AMAZING!! First time seeing them and was blown away! Anthony's energy is unreal and John Frusciante rocks!! Can't wait to see them again this winter.

    There shows are fun - I thought it was good. I've seen them every tour since 2000. Its not the same vibe as PJ show, but I really feel like an old school fan when I go to their shows. Songs you'll probably hear: Stadium Arcadium, Snow, Dani, Throw Away Your Television, By the Way, Right on Time, Californication; mainly stuff off the last 3 albums, with Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Give It Away, and Under the Bridge thrown in - I wish we got a little more funky older material, but its all enjoyable. Someone posted somewhere that they did Apache Rose Peacock, someone else heard Me and My Friends... That's not everything I remember, but it might give you an idea. John usually does a solo song. He did a tune called For Emily, and Your Pussy's Glued to a Building on Fire (ooooold solo John stuff off Niandra Lades).

    I love the chilis and always have a good time at their shows.

    I've read reviews that the Mars Volta are awful live, so Im not quite sure what to expect from them.

    I think they are, like oysters, an acquired taste. You have to hear them a few times and kind of give in to it. Its not jumping music for sure. You almost have to just listen with your eyes closed. You'll want earplugs - they are treble beasts.

    Saw them in London this summer.
    I enjoyed it better than in Australia in 96 or 97, where i was really disappointed.

    Although the setlist is too geared towards the latest albums for my taste, but then I'm more a fan of the stuff around BSSM.

    Fairly good energy, but nowhere near PJ in terms of..well anything really..variety, interaction, passion...even Flea doesn't seem to have as muh fun as Mike.

    but it was allright for £15..would have been less happy had I paid the full £45 though! stupid touts..

    Saw them in Vancouver. I wasn't that into it. But I am not a big fan of the rhcp. The super drunk fans in front of me seemed to have a good time though.

    I saw them the other night in Columbus and it was pretty dissapointing. They didn't play with that much energy, they didn't look like they were enjoying themselves, and its the same setlist every night.

    anybody know if you can bring cameras?

    The band was tight, some cool jamming. Nothing suprising, but it was an amazing show! PJ is better, but it was a big party. More variation in setlists would be cool. And I agree, John Frusciante is god!
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    Best moment of the night: John singing 'How Deep Is Your Love'! It was brilliant. It's on youtube, check it out!

    the last time I saw the Peppers put on a good show was when they opened for PJ at the '00 Seattle shows. They were a little more creative with the setlists and just were having loads of fun since they weren't the headliners.

    Your friends are full of shit and couldn't have seen them on this tour. Anthony still has as much energy as he ever did and the rest of the guys were kicking ass as well especially John. They also sounded great and are incorporating some long jams at the start and end of their sets.
  • allornoneallornone Posts: 269
    Looks like they just announced some new tour dates for 2007, and they will actually be coming to my neck of the woods. I was a little shocked about the ticket prices ($60 for all seats). I'm debating whether or not I should go. I like their new album, but the last two times I saw them (2000 and 1995), it was just OK. Both had setlists that were nothing but the hits, and the live versions of their songs weren't all that different from the CDs.
  • JaneNYJaneNY Posts: 4,438
    oh allornone, just go see them. its a rockin time at a rhcp show. its not going to be bad. sometimes its just nice to kind of party at a show and have fun. there should be some nice solos from john besides.
