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…

Maintenance + bribe
So, less than 20 people emailed me to ask what was going on with the site this weekend and none of them did it in the “OMGz Ur MaD!1!!!! WUT teH h3lL iz goin’ oN? LOL” manner. Of course, that means: people do understand that this maintenance was neccessary. people do understand that this maintenance was neccessary. people liked the bribe from the previous maintenance entry. So, as the maintenance is still going on, I guess you’ll be interested in this and this? 😉 As far as the maintenance itself goes: All the sections of the site apart from the guestbook are accessible However, some of them do not have…

Current status
In order to prevent questions…here’s an update of the current site status. -The board are not affected by any of these things. -Pages not linked from the main menu are working. Some of them have not been completed, though. -Guestbook isn’t back yet, as the spammer-safe and CMS-compatible script won’t work, as simple as that. -Everything that was previously working in the Information section (which is, all but the unfinished gear page) is working. Same goes for the Site, Links and Fanlisting sections. -Apart from videos, downloads are working, it’s just that some of them need to be added. To make you happy and to bribe you and not have…

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:…

Site updates – 22nd September 2006
Ever had problems with gallery images displaying in pop up windows which are not scrolling and which aren’t big enough? Yes? Well, I apologise for that. From now on, gallery images are opening in a new window instead of a pop-up. I guess that’s more suitable for people with pop-up blockers, anyway. I apologise for any inconvinience you might’ve had in the past with oversized images in tiny windows. Also, the gallery is due to some much-needed changes this week, so this is probably the last time you’re seeing the gallery pages organised this way. It’s going to be completely chronological and easier to look at from now on…however, the…

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…
