Invisible Movement East Rutherford special part one!
So…it’s about time there was a special. Actually, don’t think anything ever was called special on this website…either way, it’s a special and I bet you will love it. It’s all media from the Tuesday’s show in East Rutherford and it’s all of high quality, all thanks to absolutely wonderful Marian. And what you see below is NOT everything, there will be more tomorrow, as I still need to edit it. Under this link, you will find 640×480 video clips of Readymade, Snow and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow. They are a bit bigger than the video files from some other shows, so please have patience when downloading. Dial-up…

Reviews of the first NJ show
Here are some of the review excerpts with links to the full reviews of the first of two Red Hot Chili Peppers’ shows in East Rutherford, New Jersey, USA. New York Times said: Musicianship propelled the show, which heavily featured Mr. Frusciante�s guitar playing: in terse eight-bar pockets, extended codas and rubbery interludes with Flea. Soloing on �Throw Away Your Television,� Mr. Frusciante tossed off a tangled ribbon of notes, in the language of Jimi Hendrix. He was just as powerful on �Don�t Forget Me,� trilling intensely over a distorted bass riff; when he dropped to his knees, and then onto his back, it felt more like a spirit possession…

Links to the reviews of the first Boston show
Here are links to some reviews of the Boston show, as none of them was inspiring enough to have its excerpt posted… A review from Telegram.com A review from Boston.com For those who don’t want to bother reading, John sang Your Pussy Is Glued To A Building On Fire. He sang it in Quebec City as well, which might be a sign that it’s about to become a regular part of RHCP setlists once again, which would be wonderful. If you have pics or media from this show, drop me a line.

A RHCP article from Boston Globe
I figured out this would be a nice preview for those who are going to the show so…read on. There are some interesting things the most of people probably haven’t heard about before. VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Anthony Kiedis, the frontman for the Red Hot Chili Peppers, is sitting on a velvet sofa in his dressing room at the General Motors Arena. A beautiful blond woman is crouched beside him, tightening a tourniquet on his arm. She fills a syringe and slips a needle into the singer’s vein. It looks like a textbook scene from a backstage debauch. Except the young woman, Sat Hari, is a holistic nurse, and the…

Ottawa reviews
Yeah, believe it or not, there are more reviews of the Ottawa show than the Montreal one. On that note, if anyone has a Montreal show review in French and is willing to translate it…that would be more than welcome. Ottawa Sun said: Things kicked off with bassist Flea, guitarist John Frusciante and drummer Chad Smith all trading licks with a frenetic funk jam before singer Anthony Kiedis hopped onstage as if he were a boxer to open the set with Can’t Stop and their recent single Dani California to get most of the 13,000 attending up on their feet. the whole review Ottawa Citizen said: The festive getups were…

A review of the Montreal show…just one so far.
…if more appears, I will update this. Ultimate Guitar said: For anyone not having seen The Red Hot Chili Peppers before, you have to understand that you aren’t just getting to see the band play the songs you love. You get to see four of the best, Who could easily hold a lesser band on their own, play together. You get their humanity, you get to see John Frusciante, one of the most under-rated guitarists of all time’s gut-wrenching faces as he tortures his mid-’60s Fender Strat. the whole review

Reviews of the Toronto shows
Here are some reviews of the first RHCP show in Toronto on Monday, 25th September…apparently, that show was not something one can see every day and the people who attended it can be considered lucky. Chart Attack said: Welcome to the John Frusciante show, or a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert, rather. Not that I’m complaining about the long-haired guitar god’s complete command of the adoring sold-out crowd at the first of two shows at the ACC. Frusciante’s screaming guitar solos brought every RHCP song to a long crescendo. And his appearance with openers Mars Volta, plus a short solo version of Simon & Garfunkel’s “For Emily, Wherever I May…

Reviews of the Winipeg show
Here are some reviews of the RHCP show in Winipeg on 20th September. [Edited on 29th September to add one more] Winipeg Sun’s Scene.Teen writer said: Flea’s multi-coloured bodysuit and the fact he resembles a convulsingly radical dinosaur when he plucks away on his bass only drew more attention to the fact that musically, he’s likely one of most accomplished players on his instrument in all of modern rock. The same can be said for guitarist John Frusciante, whose swells of orgasmic guitar solos along with his euphoric and delirious stage movements made more than a few faces scrunch up in total riff-driven ecstasy. the whole review Winipeg Sun said:…

A beautiful review of the Saskatoon show
This review is from The Star Phoenix, a local newspaper in Saskatoon and it was written by Bill Robertson. As usual when there’s just one review of a particular show, the best bits of the review will be cited, the rest will be under the “more” link. “…On the large stage in front of Smith, guitarist John Frusciante, dressed like a slumming aristocrat but playing like a demon, contorted himself all over that worn Strat of his, showing the six-string wizardry that helps elevate the Peppers to its lofty status among rock bands…” Together for 23 years, the Red Hot Chili Peppers had all the energy of four men that…
