Note: This was a total surprise yesterday and I posted as things came in. Doing a ‘proper’ format post now with updated information, but please refer to original post for video links as there’s no point adding them twice.
Date: Saturday 8th February, 2020
Location: Private residence; Green Acres Estate, Beverly Hills, California.
Reason: This was a memorial concert to Andrew Buckley who died suddenly at the beginning of January. His father, Ron Buckley, was honoured at the Silverlake Conservatory of Music Benefit in November last year.
Notes:
The first live performance featuring the return of John Frusciante following Josh Klinghoffer’s enforced exit.
Chad Smith did not play with the band with drums being played by Jane’s Addiction drummer, Stephen Perkins, instead.
Thelonius Monster and others played the event. Jane’s Addiction also played and Frusciante joined them on stage for a few seconds.
Since Jane’s Addiction were there, ex-RHCP guitarist, Dave Navarro, was obviously present and he was photographed with members of RHCP.
Set List:
Give It Away by RHCP
I Wanna Be Your Dog cover (original by Iggy Pop and The Scrooges)
Not Great Men cover (original by the Gang of Four).
Thanks to Jason and Sister Witch for information and everyone else who sent me links.
