| Sat in front of TV watching Motogp on Sunday when the phone rings. My next door neighbour has spare ticket for that evenings gig in Edinburgh setting off in an hour, do I fancy it? FREE! I was ready to go in less than 5 minutes. I filled his car up with petrol for him though (500 mile round trip) It was an excellent gig and I cannot believe it has taken me 15 years to get around to watching them live. The bits of jamming between songs between Flea and John Frusciante were worth the trip alone. As well as the brief versions of Joy Divisions Transmission and that Donna Summer song (can't remember what its called) sung falsetto style by John Frusciante. When the encore came the drummer came on a good few minutes before the rest of the band and ran through half of the Led Zep back catalalogue which seemed to confuse the younger end of the audience but us old farts loved it. If you get half a chance to go take it! |
