glad you got to see them! Looks like it was a lovely day for sn outdoor festival

they also played Nobody Weird Like Me right?

Im in for more songs from Mother´s Milk

Yea, that was a highlight for me just because I never expected to get that one. Hopefully a longer set brings more MM into the setlist.

yeah, it could be cool to hear more stuff from that album or the previous ones as John played those songs before.

I should also note that RHCP played when the Foo Fighters dropped out. The Foos were sidestage during the Chili Peppers set, and after the encore, Chad Smith said some really nice things and lead the crowd in a shout of "We love you, Taylor"

the full band was there?

I couldn't see everyone, but I believe Chad said that the band and their families were there. Grohl was definitely there since him and Pete Townsend showed up at Preservation Hall on Saturday night.

dave already played live?

good to hear

Sorry to get your hopes on that front. I worded my post poorly. Pete Townsend played at Pres Hall. Dave was there watching.

oh ok ok i got it

how was the band? reviews from the shows have been very positive

Been watching this season of American Idol with my wife. Chad Smith's daughter is on it. They've showed him in the audience once or twice.

Even with a festival crowd, they were great. I went in with my expectations seriously in check, and they easily surpassed those expectations. They brought a ton of energy, dropped some fun tags in ("I Feel Love", "Guns of Brixton"), and the material sounded good. I'm sure it was helped by the fact that they weren't gonna disappoint the Foo crew families sitting there, but I was impressed.

I honestly think I enjoyed last night's show more than the last time I saw them back when they were touring on By The Way (though the fact that this was my first post-pandemic concert beyond our local clubs probably factors in some).

I didn't expect to go to bat for the Chili Peppers like this in 2022, but if anyone gets a chance to see them this year, I'd take it. It's worth it in ways I wouldn't have expected a month or two ago.

Saw pics on john’s arms from this show. Those skin grafts look rough.

thinking about going to see them in Europe maybe.

his old tattoos?

I was reading that he got grafts done bc he wrecked his arms so bad with heroin

yeah, he was fucked up, and also got her arm injured on a fire at his place in the middle 90s

Yeah I was reading about that fire, but didn't realize he was injured. That would explain why his arm looks like silly putty.

yeah, he was there i think.

He was really fucked up those years
