Phoenix crowd loved John’s solo…
Here’s an East Valley Tribune review of the last night’s RHCP show in Phoenix, Arizona, USA; at the Glendale Arena. The best part first, then you can read the whole thing under the cut…many thanks to Chris Hansen Orf, the author, for saying such wonderful things about our John.:smile: The biggest surprise of the evening came when Frusciante – one of the true guitar heroes of the alt-rock era, often brimming with licks that sound like they were culled from Jimi Hendrix and Funkadelic’s great guitarist Eddie Hazel – slowed things down for a stunning solo take on Simon & Garfunkel’s “For Emily (Wherever I May Find Her) that had…

Denver show…a review…
RHCP played in Denver, Colorado, USA last night and there was something special on the setlist…the-first ever live version of Funky Monks. John also did a new cover song: The Shirelles’ Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? Apparently, a contest winner requested it…as you’re going to see in the following review from Denver Post. If anything has changed about the Red Hot Chili Peppers over their 23 years, it’s not the veracity of their performances. Superstars since their 1991 album “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” went multi-platinum, the L.A. psych-funk band still retains the same squiggly energy that first propelled them to stardom. Their Friday night set at the Pepsi Center…

Salt Lake City show: review and pics
Here’s a very positive review of the RHCP show in SLC, from the Salt Lake Tribune, written by Dan Nailen. And there are some photos as well, here. Only one of them is of John, though. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are proof positive that chemistry counts in rock and roll. Some bands might be little more than interchangeable parts backing one primary songwriter, but the most musically creative and commercially successful eras of the Chili Peppers’ 23-year-career have come with the current lineup of singer Anthony Kiedis, bassist Flea, guitarist John Frusciante and drummer Chad Smith. This foursome first got together in the late ’80s and took over the…

The first Australian show confirmed for 2007!
Here are some good news for the Australian John & RHCP fans RED Hot Chili Peppers will play at the Sidney Myer Music Bowl on April 10 next year. The band was long rumoured to be headlining next year’s Big Day Out, but will now conduct its own tour instead. The band’s ninth studio album, Stadium Arcadium, made its debut at No. 1 in 27 countries (including Australia) when it was released last May. The Peppers — Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, Flea and Chad Smith — are in the middle of an American tour, and will then head to Europe and Japan before Australia. (source: news.com.au)

RHCP & setlists
With eight previous albums and more than two hours’ worth of material on the new “Stadium Arcadium,” the Red Hot Chili Peppers have had their hands full working on repertoire for their North American tour. The solution? “We’re playing for five hours,” drummer Chad Smith tells Billboard.com with a laugh. Actually, the quartet has things relatively under control after runs through Europe and Japan following the May release of “Stadium Arcadium,” which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200. “We’ve been doing about six new ones each night, and we switch those up the next night just to keep things fresh for us,” Smith says. “And we do different…

Another Lollapalooza review…
…this one is from Metro Times. After Queens, Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage for their festival-closing performance. Dinosaurs from way back when Lollapalooza was only a gleam in Perry Farrell’s eye, RHCP can still make a live show boil with tightly wound energy. It wasn’t Flea’s multicolored Riddler-style unisuit, or Anthony Kiedis’ silky hair and calculated shirt-removal moments. It was the quartet’s sense of themselves as a band, often playing together at the center of the stage, arranged in a loose star shape, Flea slapping away at his bass while John Frusciante played his beat-up Stratocaster like a man possessed. Which, in a way, he is. Frusciante’s struggles…
