Today/yesterday (time zones!) the Red Hot Chili Peppers played a concert for iHeart Radio to a crowd of 200 fans who had won tickets through competitions for the show. The concert was recorded and will be broadcast on June 17th which is the launch date for RHCP’s new album ”The Getaway.’
New songs from ‘The Getaway’ were played at the concert and as a result, security at the concert was tight with guests searched and no recording devices were allowed in. Dark Necessities got its second public live performance (the first being at last weekend’s Rock On The Range festival in Ohio) and Sick Love, This Ticonderoga and Go Robot were played for the first time.
Guest Information:
Date: Thursday 26th May, 2016

Other Information:
They discussed that Sick Love is the song that features Elton John (I’m in England, can I name him? Or is it only his partner we can’t discuss without the threat of law suits?!) and apparently it’s “really slow and mellow”. It was also played twice to allow for an edit as there were mistakes made while playing it the first time.
Chad Smith has posted a photo of Flea and Anthony Kiedis saying they are ready for the iHeart Radio launch party for the new RHCP album, The Getaway, tonight:
‘The Getaway’ which is the title track of the new album by the Red Hot Chili Peppers has just been released on the official RHCP sites! The download of the song “The Getaway” will be available at 12:01am local on May 27th.
âThe Getawayâ
Thatâs right youâre right
We will do our thing tonight alright
Take me through the future
Itâs time youâre fine
Just another color coded crime
Incision and a suture
You told my friend
We would get it on no matter when
A supercavitation
Letâs go you show
Me something no one will ever know
A love hallucination
Another lonely superstar
To get away inside your car
Take it much too far
Surrender to the brave inside
A lover that another tried
Take it, too my ride
You donât have to keep it if itâs mine
(Another lonely superstar to getaway inside your car)
Another place maybe another time
(Surrender to the brave inside a lover that another tried)
Complete repeat
Sitting in your car and on your street
Lost in California
Letâs steal this wheel
Take a spin to find out how we feel
Just around the corner
Slow down for sound
Turn it up and no we canât be found
The body that we transcend
Asleep, you weep
Find out that the trick is never cheap
A melancholy girlfriend
Another lonely superstar
To get away inside your car
Take it much too far
Surrender to the brave inside
A lover that another tried
Take it, too my ride
You donât have to keep it if itâs mine
(Another lonely superstar to getaway inside your car)
Another place maybe another time
(Surrender to the brave inside a lover that another tried)
Thatâs right youâre right
We will do our thing tonight, alright
Drive the constellation
Itâs time youâre fine
Just another color coded crime
The song is fascination
Another lonely superstar
To get away inside your car
Take it much too far
Surrender to the brave inside
The lover that another tried
Take it, too my ride
A May December might not be so smart
(Another lonely superstar to getaway inside your car)
Arrivals that we wish would not depart
(Surrender to the brave inside a lover that another tried)
Donât be late cause youâre my savior
Make it great whatever stays
Golden gate my rearranger
Hold my name inside your rays
Tonight IS the night for the iHeart Radio show Red Hot Chili Peppersâ launch party concert for âThe Getawayâ which will be recorded for broadcast on the album release date (17th June)!
I donât expect much news to come out from the actual concert because there is a really strict entry policy and no phones or cameras are being allowed into the venue â which also means very little in terms of photos or videos unless the band/radio station release something đ But hopefully we will find out something about the evening afterwards!
This is dedicated to everyone going tonight! Iâm totally envious (and I think everyone else is too!) but I hope you have an amazing time! You are so lucky! Enjoy!!! đ
Josh was interviewed backstage at Rock On The Range. Iâve added a transcript- I havenât typed it all out because a lot of it was unclear as Joshâs voice is really muffled at times and the presenters talked over him a lot.
Transcript:
Presenters talking about shaving legs and Josh is joining in but very unclear…Then they finally seem to start the interview and talk about Josh playing with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
What was it like when you did get that phone call [about being in RHCP]?
Josh Klinghoffer: It was shocking and exciting and kind of a beautiful moment. I was at a baseball game [talks about the teams]… it was July when Flea called me and we didnât actually get a chance to play together until October.
So Flea made the call?
Josh Klinghoffer: Yes, Flea made the call.
Talking about Gnarls Barkley and Danger Mouse, etc. Presenter says RHCP have played some weird shows leading up to this e.g. half shows and then New Orleans and asks about what they are going to play now.
Can you give anything away? Are you going to step it up for Rock on the Range? Not that you need to. But you know what Iâm saying.
Josh Klinghoffer: Yeah, it is a fairly rockinâ set. When we were invited to come here someone reminded us it was a very rock set … Are you sure you guys want to do this?
One of the presenters asks if her favourite song is on the set list. Josh says heâs seen the set list once and that it wasnât included for this show although they have started playing it live. But he will ask about it. Presenter jokes she will shave his legs if he doesnât. And that she now knows his name (in the starting bit she asked what he was called!).
They then talk about the new record being out on the 17th June and that there are 13 songs on the record and the presenter says the Chili Peppers are generous with their albums.
Josh Klinghoffer: Are you a fan of longer albums? Coz thereâs always an argument, not an argument but a disagreement and there was with the last album and there was with this album about how many songs to release. It was 15 to start off with and then we took two off it. Brian [Danger Mouse] …we were aiming for 10 or 11 songs as we like shorter albums… so we settled on 13. With 13 we had to make a double vinyl rather than fitting it onto one. So there are pluses and minuses in that it kinda breaks up the whole album but I donât know how people listen and if they listen to a whole album.
Presenter talks about how he likes to listen to records in order from beginning to end and how he got a record player for his birthday and which vinyls (includes Motherâs Milk). And then about what Brian/Danger Mouse is doing. Then asks what Josh is listening to.
Josh Klinghoffer: Iâm not sure. Itâs been a long time since I bought a new record. I listen to older stuff, I listen to weird African records and … [gets talked over]
Presenters talk about New Orleans style music (Zydeco] and then mention Ethiopian music.
Josh Klinghoffer: Well, Flea and I went to Ethiopia in 2010. And Flea told Anthony about getting lost and not being able to find all of us which was shocking because we turned around and he was gone. And yeah, I love Ethiopian music. I loved it over there. Weâre trying to figure out how to get over there and play.
Ends with them joking about playing Aeroplane and that âJoshyâ hates her if itâs not played.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers played Rock on the Range, Ohio, last night (May 22nd).

Dark Necessities the first track released from the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ forthcoming new album was played live for the first time! (It should have been played at the cancelled Weenie Roast and presumably would have been on the set list at the album launch party but both were cancelled due to Anthony Kiedis’ hospitalization.)
I don’t think this will be a massive surprise to anyone but the launch party scheduled for RHCP’s ‘The Getaway’ on Tuesday has been postponed due to Anthony Kiedis’ illness and hospitalization. It has also been announced that Anthony is suffering from intestinal flu::
