I have never been at a Red Hot Chili Peppers show that has been anything less than incredible (and FUN!). As musicians and performers, the Chili Peppers are enchanting—their ability to convey the energy, power and sheer delight that comes from creating and sharing their music is something else.

For this reason, I decided that my camera would remained holstered for the majority of this show. I’d seen a sea of cameras (as well as a 6-foot high dancing chili pepper!) in the audience so I figured the show was being well documented already. I did however find it irresistible to capture a few great moments from Flea, Josh Klinghoffer, and Chad Smith. These photos say it all. (Anthony Kiedis is missing here of course, but the real Sis-Diss photo gal Ady captured a full set from the Philly show in May, so check her post for many more photos).

As always, many many thanks to an amazingly generous friend for the opportunity to experience it all. You know who you are and I hope you know how much you are appreciated. I had a great time with Renee!
