Seeing RHCP live is very very cool
On Thursday i went to the best concert of my life so far, Red Hot Chili Peppers live in Wiener Neustadt, Austria. They played at the dirtiest rock festival i have ever been to and i was so grumpy because i paid 85 euros for a two-day ticket to see the Chilis and Metallica, but the place was so depressingly dirty and run-down that we decided not to stay for the second day and pass Metallica. But, then the Chili concert made up for all of that, it was just spectacularly awesome.
The funny thing is, i sort of liked the chilis so far, but they were no way my favourite band or anything. But you *know* that it is the best concert you've ever been to if you even groove out to the songs you've never heard and feel like they are the best songs ever. And in the encore they played Under The Bridge, which was so cool to hear played by them live after hearing it for a zillion times interpreted by our class band in high school. :)
I had a great time. The cool fact is that they are playing in London's Hyde Park on June 25th and i'll accidentally be in London that weekend. Yay. I am not buying tickets, but i assume it will be loud enough to enjoy outside in the grass as well, or not? Any info on that, especially supersecret location info is most welcome in the comments.
