Hot as hell. I saw them last night in Lisbon. It was a great, great rock show.Simple, direct,dynamic, no samplers, fun and all the elements of the band played very well, like a perfect rock machine. Flea and Fruscianti are a powerful and potent combination,they were tighter and dynamic as ever. Of course they are not "the next big thing" but i think they are an under-rated band. In my opinion i think they are both - Flea and Fruscianti - two of the most important players of their instruments nowadays. What a terrific performance last night's. Frucianti was a revelation. He's in the pick of his guitar playing. A show to remember. If you have the chance to see them...just go!!
I've got a ticket to see them in the summer in Sheffield, hopefully they'll be playing more older stuff and very little from Stadium Arcadium.
They played only two songs from the last album, the others were mostly from Blood Sugar Sex Magic and Californication.
Just picked this up the other day... 'Tis great to hear Flea pumpin out some funky riffs again In all honesty, I still prefer One Hot Minute/ Californication.
