An invite-only show, radio show and a real show…
RHCP had an invite-only show in LA, at the Troubadour (John played a solo show there in 2001, remember?) last night and people who got in are mostly band’s friends. If I have more info on it in future, you’ll surely hear about it…:arrow: However, the show on Saturday, held by KROQ-FM (106.7) wasn’t invite only. It was the anual Weenie Roast y Fiesta concert at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine, and here are some nice excerpts from the review seen on Calendar live: The Chili Peppers’ closing set reaffirmed the L.A. quartet’s status among rock’s elite. Songs from the new “Stadium Arcadium” double-CD package added maturity and musical…

Review of the Irving Plaza show
(lifted from NY Post…) May 10, 2006 — AT the Red Hot Chili Peppers super-exclusive, no-VIP gig Monday at Irving Plaza, the California funk punk icons played a roller-coaster show that mixed loads of killer songs with just enough filler to let you know they ain’t perfect. The two-hour showcase served as a fan appreciation performance as well as a release party for the band’s double-disc “Stadium Arcadium,” which dropped yesterday. As they have with recent shows, the band opened and closed the concert with powerful instrumental jams that featured shirtless bassist Flea, along with drummer Chad Smith and guitarist John Frusciante. Those opening riffs limbered the boys up for…

NME review of the secret London show
I am not responsible for the grammar/ortography mistakes in this one, it’s not my fault that people don’t know their own native language properly. Oh yes, and go to this site for photos. The review doesn’t really mention one certain gentleman this site is about and there aren’t really many photos of him (just one of him play and one of his guitar…honestly), but I thought I’d post it here anyway… Red Hot Chili Peppers premiered six tracks from their forthcoming album ‘Stadium Arcadium’ at a tiny show in London tonight (April 14). The band tore through a 90 minute set in front of an audience of just 300 lucky…

John was not at Omar’s show at all
John was NOT in London tonight. There was no information that he cancelled his appearance coming from anywhere, until someone who was about to attend a concert said that he’s not there. Apparently, everything was unexpectedly cancelled. I am sorry. I guess no one counted on this as possible outcome, unless the whole story was someone’s way of playing jokes on people.

John won’t be present at the ATP
This is what the ATP website issued this morning: 23rd November 2005 JOHN FRUSCIANTE NOT PLAYING Depsite postings on the web that John Frusicante was set to appear at ATP with the Mars Volta we are sad to report that John is unable to attend the festival this December so we are just giving you a heads up in case you were expecting him. I apologise for any speculation on my part (though I happen to know that other websites were speculating even more and almost panicking) and I do hope I did not hurt anyone’s feelings or made anyone’s work harder and more annoying than usual. As for the…

John to play with Omar in London and more…
Yet again, for the second and maybe not only the second time this year (read on for further explanation), people in United Kingdom and those who can make it to there will be fortunate enough to see John Frusciante live, as one of the 5 people in Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’ s quintet. The quintet will be performing all over Europe during this month, but, unfortunately, probably since the rest of Europe is not attractive enough or due to his busy schedule, John won’t be performing with them. According to an unknown source quotted on 4th Dimension fanclub website, John will be joining Omar Rodriguez-Lopez’s quintet on Dec 5th 2005 in London,…

John did it again…
…he performed with The Mars Volta, that is. Here’s a short “report”, as said by Sandra from the RHCP BBS. John played with the Mars Volta again last night in Santa Barbara during L’Via again, and this was the most insane L’Via they’ve ever played. If a recording surfaces soon, everyone should get it and listen to it. Usually at the end of L’Via, a four-way solo happens between Ikey (keyboards), Omar, John, and Adrian (sax/flute/misc. percussion, but on this song, he does a flute solo). So the first round went as usual. On the second round, Omar started his solo but then John joined him. They were going crazy…
