More photos of RHCP performing at the O2 Arena in London but this time from Thursday 10th November 2011.

I couldn’t face the hours of queuing for front row this time nor could my ribs stand being slammed into the front barrier so I opted out and sat down this time! I was about 4 rows up from the bottom on the side of the stage so I focused on shots of the stage as a whole, the band and the overhead monitors rather than band member close-ups. Enjoy 🙂

Flea Goes Underground

Flea Red Hot Chili Peppers journey to O2 Arena RHCP concert

Newspaper clipping

 

FLEAS on the London Underground are a very rare problem. In fact, this is the first time ever one has been snapped there.

SINGER astonishes London commuters by taking the Jubilee line and using travel card
 

Red Hot Chili Peppers have been in residence at the O2 in southeast London and bassist Flea opted for public transport to get to the gig.

Speaking to the 17,000 fans at the sold-out show he said: “I came here on the Jubilee Line tonight and no one noticed.”

It’s not quite panto season yet, but oh yes they did.

The band played a blistering set including Under The Bridge, Give It Away, Can’t Stop and Californication.

I can’t wait to see them here next summer at Knebworth and Sunderland. Then you might find a Flea in a private jet between gigs.

Addition: I was at the concert and was going to include this in my review (will get online with one from Monday night plus the 150+ photos I took on Thursday hopefully later today; if not it will be tomorrow).

Flea mentioned that he caught the 5 o’clock train from Bond Street and went on the Jubilee line to the O2 Arena; he was complaining there were no RHCP fans there to greet him and keep him company! I caught the same train about 4.50…argh! lol

Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith November 2011

I was at the O2 Arena, London, last night (November 7th 2011) for the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ concert and after queuing for over 10 hours, I got a front row spot right in front of Anthony Kiedis himself! I’ve got the bruises, cuts, etc. to prove the fact I stuck it out – and a set list that I got as a result of a security guard trying to make up for the fact he dropped somebody directly on my head!

It was pretty crazy; I was texting the song titles to a friend to post for me as each song was played while trying to take photos in the crowd frenzy at the front of stage; I was having to hang onto the camera & take the photos while trying to brace myself from being slammed into the barrier, so it was hard to frame the pictures, but I managed to take about 200 photos which I’ve edited, sorted and the best have now been uploaded. My proper camera wouldn’t have been allowed in so I borrowed a camera and literally took photos until the battery died. A couple of photos were also taken using my iPhone; they are a bit fuzzy but I thought I’d add the few best ones as they show slightly different shots/angles to the rest.

A review is to follow but I’ve travelled home today and have spent the whole evening sorting, editing and spent the whole evening sorting, editing and uploading the photos I took as I know people are asking for them. Enjoy :D

New interview with Chad and Anthony Kiedis to BBC – 6 Music News

By Sarah Jane Griffiths (BBC reporter):

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers kick off the UK leg of their British tour tonight with three sold out shows at the O2 in London.
It’s in support of their 10th studio album I’m With You – which followed several years off and the induction of their new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer.

Frontman Anthony Kiedis told 6 Music getting back on the road “felt better than I could have expected.”
As for what we can expect from these arena shows, Anthony explained while the stage production isn’t the most important aspect for them, we can expect something pretty special.

“It looks like we stole Las Vegas and brought it on tour.”

Life on the road probably won’t be quite as wild as it once was now they are older and have more responsibility but they are certainly excited:

“I am really looking forward to the shows and being in different countries and showing my son the world, he is going to come out on tour with me.”

RHCP concert in Dublin – 4th November, 2011

After a break of 2 weeks, on the last Friday (November, 04th), The Red Hot Chili Peppers came back on I’m With You tour and performed at O2 Arena, located in Dublin, Ireland.
According to fans, Anthony Kiedis was having some troubles with his voice. He was losing it towards the end. He didn’t sing the chorus to Factory Of Faith. Because of it, Josh done more vocals than usual.
Chad Smith began his drum solo with Sunday Bloody Sunday beats, which got the irish crowd insane.
In general, no surprises on the setlist. The original one had Higher Ground instead of Right On Time and considering Anthony Kiedis’ issues with his voice, maybe it was the reason for this change.
