[JBass]

saw them friday night....no words can describe..they played BSSM i was buggin out...perfect mix of new and okd songs....for those of you have have been to heaven...discuss the amazing concerts...i think our setlist was (not necesarily in the order i present them but i'll do my best)

intro - funky jam
cant stop
dani california
scar tissue
me and my friends
fortune faded
readymade w/ album solo by frusciante - amazing
charlie
blood sugar sex magic w/ cool drum intro
throw away your television w/ bass solo intro from flea (amazing)
john frusciante solo cover piece - i think it was a simon and garfunkle song
snow
don't forget me
tell me baby
right on time with same intro as slane castle
californication with amazing intro
stadium arcadium
by the way with improv flea solo
encore - give it away

RHCP are gods...they improvise on every song while still keeping it feeling original...i have waied my life to see them it made me so happy - i dont think i'll be able to get mad for a few weeks...discuss

[BenJammin]

Haha, yes! I saw them last month and they totally blew my mind. The set list was similar, though not entirely the same.

They didn't play Under The Bridge as part of the encore, though? Shocking. Really shocking.

And the JF piece is "Emily' by Simon and Garfunkle. :)

[Left Shoe]

im seeing them this months

[Spaceman Spiff]

Frusciante and Smith busted out Smells Like Teen Spirit when I saw them. It was quite the spectacle. :p

[Jeronimofesto]

That was pretty much the same as when I saw them. It was the best concert ever, heaven. I do remember they played Around The World with that nice flea solo before the song actually starts. I do agree, they pretty much improvise every song while keeping enough of it the same so you still know what is going on. They are true gods.

[BenJammin]

Frusciante and Smith busted out Smells Like Teen Spirit when I saw them. It was quite the spectacle. :p

I saw a video of that on youtube. Frusciante was really given'r.

[Toggle Switch]

Did the Mars Volta play? How were they?

[JBass]

MV was alright..they were much better when i saw them a year ago cuz now they have all their new **** and they dont relal yplay their songs they just do weird jams..the played viscera eyes and opened with son et lumier and inertiatic ESP..everything else was just weird jams...it was entertaining bu ti think they've lost heir touch...de-loused was my favorite of the three albums form there i think its been downhill...but thats just my opinion..i kno many people like frandes the mute better than deloused but yea...

[JBass]

before give it away they did some relaly waierd jam/rap with this random guy in a beanie hat and a ret beader...then the guy in the hate kept jumpin around and then you hear give it away start and everyone stated flippin out crazy

Ahh that's a shame. Deloused is my fav too. God i want to go the see rchp in Philly so bad!:mad:

[JBass]

haha i;m actually oging to philly tomorow to see them again i juts found out!!! thank god for roomates and extra tickets

[Afrokid]

i want to see them very badly as well but i cant >.< !!!! The Mars Volta's new CD is amazing, and every bit as good Deloused , but i do feel when they perform live they should stick to the actual song instead of jamming. it seems they only play one or two recognizable songs, then just jam...thats cool and all but when u pay good money to see them they better play take the veil and roulette dares ^_^ . I have an old video of when one of my friends went to go see them back in the 90's...its very very sweet with flea doing a little improv to under the bridge.

[WHoRRID]

goin to see 'em tuesday... cant wait. hopefully ill get to see em whilst trippin face :D

[JBass]

i didnt like amputechture as much

[Mr. Pickle]

i get to see the last show of the tour. well, the last show of this tour at least.

[SixnStones]

<3

(Saw them at earl's court arena)

[Polyamarous]

Damn they where gooooood. I don't like give it away though, which ruined it abot for me.

[Akira]

Gah. They didn't come here. :(

[funkyhoney]

i'm seeing them in April, god damn cost me enough as well :(

[blizzard]

i'm seeing them in April, god damn cost me enough as well :(

Same here. Unfortunately the only tickets I could get are pretty far away.

[funkyhoney]

Same here. Unfortunately the only tickets I could get are pretty far away.

suck balls :p

mine are ~18m from stage. up in one of the balcony's.

$122.50 :(

[JBass]

trusr me..they're worth every penny

[bottlerocket]

My friend down the hall saw them and said they were awesome.

I was going to go but I had a paper due. :(

[Octavius]

I saw them in Cardiff 2004. Well worth the £45 tickets and 200 mile drive :p

[Jeronimofesto]

$122.50 :(

$250 for 2, front row off ebay. Worth every penny.

[pitchfork]

I want to see them and some day soon I will, got paul weller and madness lined up for the remainder of this year.

[Bass_swede]

I am seeing them the 11th of December in stockholm, got great tickets too.. gaah, I can't wait! :D

[Carpe Noctis]

Going to see them on Thursday in Atlanta and then again at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans!! YESSSSS!!!!!

[mikethecoug]

i went in july they were awesome too, got the tix on the night too hahah so lucky!

[Niall]

i went to see them at slane castle. was one of the best gigs i have ever seen. :chug:

[132WalrusesInMexico]

I have tickets for November 3rd at the Palace. Anyone else going to this show? I have amazing seats, I'm like second or third row on the right side of the stage.

[museic]

i would have liked to have seen chilis on the last tour they did in the uk.. ive seen them three times.. on the californication tour, the by the way tour and at hyde park.. hyde park was poor in my opinion.. it contained a lot of songs i wasnt really into and the sound was a bit gash... james brown was awesome..

seeing chilis play sir psycho sexy live is one of my best music moments

i think the best band ive seen live is either muse or lightning bolt though.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

Guess who hasn't and isn't ever planning on seeing RHCP?

Me! :p

[bottlerocket]

Why not?

[Pluperfect_Arson]

I find them boring and unexciting, so I wouldn't bother ever seeing them live. And, for the price of one of their shows, I can see like five shows of bands that I actually care about. :p

[Riouken]

I've seen them twice! :D!

Cardiff 2004! And Earl's Court July 17th 06!

Was so goooooood man!! Absolutely insane! I got to the front row at both! Was very scary though, utnill the show actually began :D

They played Nobody Weird Like Me at the show I went too :D! I wanted them to play that so much but I always thought it would eb a long shot, so you can imagine my utter suprise when the bass intro began :O! I loved every second of it! And John sang How Deep Is your Love at the show I went too! Was beautiful! I know he sang Untitled #3 off of his Niandra Lades album in Portland though! Shame I never got to see that but it was still incredible!!

[EADG]

Creamy beaver



Hotter than a fever

[Akira]

i went to see them at slane castle. was one of the best gigs i have ever seen. :chug:

Wow. I've got the dvd, what an awe-inspiring performance. I can't believe you were there.

[Spaceman Spiff]

Take it away for a minute just to tease her,
Then I give it back a little bit deeper.







Turned her cherry pie,
Right into jam!

[Efrim]

Yes, Anthony is practically pornographic.
They didn't play Throw Away Your Televison at mine., but Chad had a great solo.

[e p]

the reason TMV seem loose and out of control is they have a last minute drummer change (whether temporary/permanent still to be announced) so they only taught him vicera eyes and rapid fire tollbooth in 3 days, then the rest of their time theyve jammed.

when i saw them last month they were on the money

When I saw them, the reason they sucked is because the sound levels were atrocious. You couldn't tell one instrument from another and Cedric's voice was just a distorted wail.

That is the same problem I had with them. I couldn't tell any of the vocals apart from a guitar solo. It was sad really.

[Efrim]

I agree, they're too busy-sounding to be a very good live band anyway. Also, they were rather boring this time around, as the stage was too crowded for any kind of movement.

[labgnat]

i've seen em twice for the californication tour with the foo fighters it was a good show. really only went to see it cause my sister wanted to travel somewhere to see foo fighters. i'm not much of a fan of the peppers now days tho

[JBass]

i just saw the again tonight!!!! so amazing they played "what is soul" and havanna affair (slain castle style) and the encore was soul to squeeze and give it away....god i love them so much...especially seeing them two times in 3 days:p they had some real solid jams..they played BSSM again and throw away your television...i cant get enoughof them i wanna go tomorow night too

[muthafunkabass]

I just saw them last night. They were great, flea was amazing. The only problem was the Mars Volta. They were disgusting and every single person I passed was talking **** about them. They had one pause during their performance and the place exploded with "get off the stage".

yea i remember that...i hate it...they're giving themselves such a bad reputation for the people who are seeing them for the first time...i saw them about 2 yrs ago and they played all of deloused and part of frances and they were amazing...they've ruined themselves...the only fans they have are the ones who have their albums already..cuZ i dont think anyone will buy anyting now

[Chilifanthatsme]

before give it away they did some relaly waierd jam/rap with this random guy in a beanie hat and a ret beader...then the guy in the hate kept jumpin around and then you hear give it away start and everyone stated flippin out crazy

Haven't read rest of thread but they've been doing that jam on and off for ages. Get Off The Map DVD, it's amazing, they do it there too.

Saw them in July earlier this year, was such an amazing experience.

[Niall]

Wow. I've got the dvd, what an awe-inspiring performance. I can't believe you were there.

U can see a mate of mine going mental at the start of it, right up against the barrier. I saw them the two times they played there, the dvd gig and the time they supported U2. Slane is an amazing place to see a concert.

ive seen off the map and youre right i totally forgot..whos the random guy though?

i remember "what is soul" from off the map they plaeyd it last night i love it

[Jameslar]

I think I might win

Saw them at the San Diego Sports Arena

Saw them at the Oakland Arena (8 hour drive, but I went up with friends to check out UC Berkeley)

Saw them at the Los Angeles Forum

Mars Volta... alright each time. Drunk girl next to me at the Sports Arena show was booing the whole time, but it was a pretty good show (I'm not really a fan)

Peppers were great, best show was the Forum without a doubt, because I actually went with friends (San Diego I went with one buddy, San Fran went with "school buddies")

But in LA the group next to us thought that Flea played guitar :(!

[JBass]

haha..they didnt deserve to be there

[Efrim]

The bongo player from TMV came out and jammed with John and Flea midway through the set for a long time, that was pretty cool.

[Jaded]

What? That's no excuse. Watch any Frank Zappa concert DVD, busy sounding bands can still rock it live. Baby Snakes is a good one.

On TMV, my mind isn't completely made up yet. I liked most of the stuff off their first CD, but I don't think they have enough compositional skills to write 20 minute songs that are musically interesting. It seems like they used the success of their first CD to give them an opportunity to get really stoned and "experiment." I like dissonance and all, but if it isn't used in a way that makes any sense, it just sounds bad, IMO.

Bear in mind that I love free jazz and post-modern composing, so it's not a matter of it being "too weird" for me.

Still haven't seen the Chilies yet, but I'd love to if I didn't have to pay more than 50 bucks for a ticket.

[BassVirtuoso]

Did anyone go to the one at Wachovia in Jersey? Everyone from my school was there.

[Efrim]

What? That's no excuse. Watch any Frank Zappa concert DVD. Baby Snakes is a good one.

Who said I was making excuses?

They are not a good live band. Hardly an excuse.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

If you guys want a good live show, you, clearly, haven't seen Atreyu, yet.

[Jaded]

You said it was because they were too busy sounding. I was editing my post, sorry for the confusion if I wasn't clear enough.

[Jaded]

Dude, I would like, sell my SOUL for Atreyu tickets. To witness their lead guitarists' tapping prowess live would be the culmination of my being.

[Efrim]

You said it was because they were too busy sounding. I was editing my post, sorry for the confusion if I wasn't clear enough.

That's definitely one of the factors. The fact that I can't hear separate instruments doesn't make it very entertaining.

[Pluperfect_Arson]

OMG lyke dat tapping riff 4 "lipgl0ss n blck"
so0o0o sw33t gee g0lly

I went to a show that they played at like three years ago to see this other band, and the lead guitarist is so short. :lol:

I saw them at Warped two years ago. Pretty good show.

[sixner]

atreyu just played around me last sunday. i didnt go though, i was sick.... still am.

but ive seen them 3 times, they're really good live. one of my favorites.
Dan is really short, hah... but i love the matching head band and guitar.


so, chili's..
is a show worth $60?
they're playin here monday

-sixner

[JBass]

DEFINETLY worth 60

[Mr. Pickle]

chili tickets for $60? they sold for around $75 here if you got them through ticket master. i ended up having to get mine through a different website and ended up spending $480 for four tickets.

[Jaded]

Oh, I was kinda kidding about the whole Atreyu thing...

[WHoRRID]

haha i actually had to choose between the two. played the same night.































































































i chose the peppers! and im glad i did. amazingly awsome show.

i just saw atreyu this summer at ozzfest, they were rlly good but they dont compare to RHCP imo.

there was only one song i wanted to hear that i didnt, and im kinda not suprised. i had my fingers crossed as john played his solo song that they'd play porcelian right after that but they didn't. oh well nothing could have ruined that show. not even the jiz soaked floor at the wacovia center. seriosly i had to tap my feet the whole show just so i would be permitately stuck.
