I love this show cause you hear each of the instruments perfectly, and specially John's tone you can hear it crystal clear, it's clean but at the same time so dirty and distorted I love it
@@fmvalada What makes you say that? Because actually, both of us are wrong. Honestly I have no idea why I classified this show as the first. But according to the RHCP Live Archive I regularly use, the very first show of the Californication Tour was AUG 14 , Moscow. So all the shows before that, including this show 18th June, and the one you mentioned in May, were simply separate warm up shows, or promotional shows for the Californication Singles.
I've gotten into working out over the last year, and every day I run 2 miles as i watch a different RHCP show. They're so fuckin good. Today, it was this one, thought I'd reply. 😅😎
I was at this show and from our seats the mix was so bad I thought wtf is going on I went to the bar and it sounded incredible and this sounds great. It is hard to believe it could sound so crappy from our seats.
Ugh doesn't that suck!? I remember one particular amphitheater show listening to a great stereo mix IN THE BATHROOM stands far from the event itself... I'll not name the band b.c. we know it's not their fault
MikeEinziger153 it may be that throughout the concert, JF uses many different pedals, but if you're talking about the classic Frusciante tone, there's only the Boss DS-2.
He used Boss FZ-3 in this era as well as DS-2. His lead tones are really more fuzzy here compared to later years althougt these two pedals are not far away from each other soundwise.

how am i the first one to point out that john plays pretty much the entirety of power of equality with a broken string?! ohh.. maybe cuz it's still like fucking flawless. you can't even tell, except visually. fucking frusciante, no one can compare
He broke the high e string and the main part of guitar is played on that string open, so what he did was play the e string part on the fith fret of the b string and continued on.
He is a legend no doubt!!! And you have to remember that he was only playing with them again for under a year before this show!! He looks super self conscious and has no build at all, keeps his sleeves down then even when he pulls his shirt back over his head, he doesn't go full on RHCP topless. His body took some serious punishment and I guess his arms must of looked pretty messed up at that point as it was under a year since he cleaned up 100% and in the process had major surgery to remove all the lumps and abscesses in his arms and legs and had veins grafted etc to repair some of the damage IV drug use did to him. If you look at shows a year or so later when he has put a bit more weight on and healed up some more all the scars are still pretty full on. Fair play to the guy for getting through all that shit and to come through it a better man (and guitarist)!
During this time period, did John pull his shirt behind his head rather than taking it off completely because he was still insecure about his arm scars?
@@junxi9192 not really. This is post jaw surgery and his nose is already starting to change. Cartilage collapses when you snort too much blow. But yes he’s still hot!
19:14 flea comes in with the harmony soo flat and John begins to look over immediately noticing, flea must have been looking at him with a "that was bad" face haha..and then you hear John laughing..haha good friends
Damn this concerts great. I love scar tissue on this. Scar tissue has always been a very emotional and weird song for me. Every time I have a rough day I always listen to it and it takes me somewhere magical. It make me feel like I'm riding off into the sunset with my friends. Not a care in the world.
That "Power of Equality"... I can imagine this band playing this version of the song at a side of a court during a steet basketball match and other rappers coming into stage to join them The perfect rap rock funk band RHCP FOREVER
been looking for this, so funny when john laughs a bit when flea can't find his note. it actaulyl sounded really good when he did though...wish he would have kept singing backups on that song.
Son un desastres en Vivo pero se arreglan y terminan cualquier canción en orden! Los entiendo yo hacía lo mismo en mi banda .... es armonía al final de la canción terminabamos haciendo una canción hermosa
