Currently on tour, the Red Hot Chili Peppers recently stopped to play a show at the Sprint Center in Kansas City, KS, where they were welcomed by an enthusiastic and RHCP-deprived crowd of more than 13,000 people; their last show in KC was during the 2003 By the Way Tour. The funk-rock quartet enthralled the audience with their contagious energy and live antics, as well as a dazzling light show and magically expanding video screens. The Kansas City Star reviews the concert from this past weekend, including a set list and analysis of the show, which I happened to be at.
My friend and I bought tickets at the last minute and drove to Kansas City to meet some friends already going to the show, and boy am I glad we did! I have always wanted to see the RHCP live and it was by far one of the best concerts I have ever been to. At some point the bassist, Flea (who is damn-near a senior citizen; age 50), walked across the entire stage on his hands, flipped over and started playing. I was like, “um ok, that was freakin’ awesome!” The music was incredible too and the light show was out of this world. The Chili Peppers still got it!
