Last night was simply spectacular after one of my favourite band were playing live at a packed London’s Earls Court show.
The band were the Red Hot Chili Peppers and I love the funky music performed by the California-based rock group.
I have always been a fan since buying the last three albums – ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’, ‘Californication’ and my personal favourite, ‘By The Way’. The new 28-track double album ‘Stadium Arcadium’ released this year is simply fantastic.
I always wanted to see them performing live someday… Well, my dreams came finally true when I saw them that evening.
Anthony Kiedis – the main vocal – was energetic and incredible, John Frusciante – guitar and backing vocals – was on awesome form with the lead guitar. His skills were truly impressive. Flea – playing the bass and providing the backing vocals was superb. And as for Chad Smith – on the drums – he couldn’t stop hitting away and was full of enthusiasm. He later threw his drum sticks to the passionate crowd at the end!
The highlights was the opening song to kick-start the two-hour live show with ‘Can’t Stop’, a fans favourite and my as well. John Frusciante’s sole version of ‘How Deep Is Your Love?’ was wonderful. Followed by a 15 minute guitar jam at the end of ‘Give It Away’… Sensational!
A great night out and I can’t wait to see them live once again.
