Red Hot Chili Peppers at The Oakland Arena
I haven’t had access to my one and only Red Hot Chili Peppers album, Californication, since my divorce and subsequent CD divy. I loved the album and listened to it for a good couple of months solid, most notably when I was installing a new garage door opener. The task took me longer than it should have, with the removal or the old broken one, installation, and setting of all the tensions and sensors. Probably a good week of after-work sessions. And I listened only to Californication.
Since I had forgotten how much I liked their music, I didn’t jump at the first concert call by my friends. When a ticket became available at the last minute, I went.
To make a long story short:
1. Traffic/Parking=Medium Bad, Raiders game at same time.
2. Drinking=Yes. Concert tailgaiting bonus!
3. Beer=$10
4. OpeningBand=Mars Volta, good but girl-voiced lead singer (man) + long jam all-the-time
5. Danced-a-lot=Yes (rhcp only)
6. Moshpit=No! Not allowed. Much standing and looking (weird).
My friend, Kevin, who was the concert mastermind and illegal camera phone photographer has yet to send me some pics. So more to come (maybe)…
