RHCP was pretty good. Pretty much played all of their radio hits, plus a couple of songs from what I assume would have been their latest album (or just songs I'd never heard).

I won't say that I've been the biggest RHCP fan, but I appreciated that they could play all of their songs live. Flea and their guitarist (Josh Klinghoffer?) were pretty amazing, to the point where I could have just listened to them riff while Will Ferrell played drums.

Notable:

  • The massive, stage-to-ceiling LCD display and live video being shot, mixed, filtered, and displayed.
  • The dudes are 50, and Flea came back for the encore walking on his hands, all the way across the stage.

Will Ferrell and Chad Smith look strangely alike

Ended the show with a three-song encore, one of which was "Give It Away Now," which is pretty much what I wanted to hear. I wasn't disappointed.
