RHCP Concert Review

A month before D-day, I was already bragging about it. Sorry but I haven't ever been to a big concert before with world renowned artists performing and I was just showing my enthusiasm for it! Hehe. I wasn't a big fan of Red Hot Chilli Peppers per se, but if I'm gonna get to see them live..sure I'll go!

An indie rock band called Fool's Gold from L.A. opened for the band, and ummm to be honest they nearly spoiled my mood for the night; the fact that I don't much like indie rock had nothing to do with it.

By quarter to 9, light's dimmed and guitars blared out to Monarchy of Roses which I thought was a good choice for opening. We were in the sitting lane but it was hard to keep still in our seats, so we basically ended up standing to dance most of the time.

I thought it was their new album I'm with you tour but guess not since we found ourselves dancing to a mix of new and some of those old songs we listened to while growing up in high school. Nostalgic rather...sigh! Their music is consistent and I like their new songs but nah not all of 'em; The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie and Look around are nice though. Dance, dance, dance do not want to make me dance, dance, dance.

But yeah we had an aweeeeesome time, the whole concert (excluding Fool's Gold) was for about 2 hours I recall but it felt like we just zoomed from the beginning to end. We really didn't wanna go home and seriously wanted more head-banging (and jumping!!!) And no we did not drink :D

And finally let the music speak for itself, well errrmmmm...for 39 seconds:

That's all for RHCP! 

Oh and I got an opportunity to do this review for our university magazine SHUlife on Imelda May. [In case you haven't heard of her yet, then you must! I love love love her voice, and oh-so-good-hard-to-find-nowadays music]. So I got to go to her concert in 'Sheffield O2 Academy' for free with +1, how cool is that?? Haha! She's one of my favourite blues artist; excited would be an understatement. It was on 22 November and I haven't written the review yet; when I'm done with it, I'll post it here. Although I admit that lil' sentence I wrote in brackets is a bit of a give-away, but I promise I'll try to critically analyse ;)
