Went to see these guys on friday, huge stadium show and it was full. Very interesting show actually, the band seemed to be jamming all the time and the crowd was somewhat cold, specially for a being a local crowd.

Maybe it was that they played very little from BSSM ( Suck My Kiss, I Could Have Lied and Give it Away, Soul To Squeeze), maybe they played a little too much of By The Way not sure.

Frusciante is amazing and it was so fucking cool to see these guys again.

[Farmer John]

Throw Away Your Television and Right on Time would have been awesome to hear.

[VinylGuy]

This is the setlist i got, AMD, Soul To Squeeze, PU, Right on Time, THW, Suck My Kiss and I Could have Lied were all the best parts of the show for me.
Best thing it was that it felt like a very long jam, but it also kinda killed the energy with the crowd.

Like i said, John was absolutely insane.

Wow stellar week of shows for you. Their set lists are all over the place this tour, a few guaranteed staples then a total grab bag

I also saw Warpaint last week, small venue fucking amazing show. The vibe man!

Yesterday i also got Weyes Blood, Carly Rae Jepsen, Beck ( this one was great) and Pet Shop Boys.

[tragabigzanda]

[VinylGuy]

dude, Parallel Universe was something else really. and The Heavy Wing sounded so cool...and then boom these guys play I Could Have Lied and it super emotional and tender like it was when it came out.

[liebzz]

That sounds amazing!

[Ello Sailor]

The Zephyr Song > Dani California is unfortunate but the rest of that setlist is nuts. Nice one.

[Ello Sailor]

Soul to Squeeze AND Strip My Mind. Gahdamn.

[VinylGuy]

The Zephyr Song > Dani California is unfortunate but the rest of that setlist is nuts. Nice one.

yeah, i really didnt want DC. Thats a song i just dont give a fuck, like most of SA. At least they didnt play Snow or Charlie

[tragabigzanda]

[VinylGuy]

i love black summer...the guitars reminds me of BSSM, something closer to Soul To Squeeze. And it was really fun to hear it live, the chorus is pretty cool.

Wish i got These Are The Ways, thats my favorite from UL.

[Ello Sailor]

Sorry Trag, but Black Summer shits all over Dani California. I actually can't stand the latter.

[Vitalogist]

Great set list, VinylGuy. I’d love to see these guys live some day…

[VinylGuy]

yeah, this was my third show with John, and while i would have loved to see them on the One Hot Minute tour, this is the definitive RHCP lineup for sure.

[VinylGuy]

The Heavy Wing was always one of my favs when UL came out, but after seeing it live and being blown away i went back for the studio version and damn what a jam.

John´solo is a volcano of electricity.

[VinylGuy]

guys, im curious if you have a favorite John solo release.

I used to be obsessed with his solo albums in 99, specially when he released ¨To record only water for then days¨ but then, i think because both By The Way and SA weren my thing, i completely forgot about his solo albums.

Any recommendations?

[Ello Sailor]

I only really listen to Shadows Collide With People. Not because the others are bad, I just like this one.
