Just saw the Peppers for the 1st time at the Garden in NYC last night (May, 20th). A brief review.......
Mars Voulta opened up at which point I was "pre-gaming" aka, drinking. Suprisingly, I was able to purchase a ticket at the box office just minutes before the show. I guess this happens at most shows due to cancellations........man, did they miss out!!!
Queens of the Stone Age put on a rather loud and energetic set so loud that I think the sound system had to be adjusted for the Peppers.
Speaking of which, the RHCP were excellent!!! I was a little surprised by the fact that they virtually stuck with their latest 2 albums and generally ignoring most of their vast catalogue. I also thought that a band that has been around nearly 20 years would play longer than an hour-and-forty minutes. Oh well. They sounded excellent---inspiring guitar solos from Frusciante, hilarity from Flea, bangin' drums from Smith and sharp vocals from Keidis. In fact, I went with someone who has seen the Peppers several times and he said that this is the sharpest he has ever heard Keidis.
4 Vertically hanging screens behind the Peppers added some creativity to what was a fast-paced and hits-laden show....
