I agree. They love to play and we didn’t get another leg that I would have expected on previous tours ala 2009. The US got two legs but Europe and especially Brits got a second in 2009 if memory serves.

Europe got two legs for RevRad didn’t it? They started in Europe/UK in late 2016, came to the US in spring, then back to Europe/UK for a month and back to the US for the summer.

I’d like to see a full video of it. He may have just stuck that in there but the rest might have been good.

Agreed, I’d like to hear it all because it’s fucking BJA doing Rapper’s Delight! I mean WTF!

To the uninitiated, Rapper’s Delight is often, although wrongly, is I believe a 1974 song that is credited with being the very first hip hop song of all time.

While that’s untrue and as most music it sort of evolved (hip hop), is started with groups like Melle Mel, Furious Four and Grand Master Flash but SugarHill gang and, in particular with this song had the first hip hop hit wit the the song “Rapper’s Delight” which was guys rapping over the literal instrumental to Chic (NIle Roger’s band) to “Good Times” which is not even sampled. Literally just the instrumental.  Fist hip song to cross over to white America and help bring it mainstream. It’s a very important song in hip hop and is the song that coined the phrase “Hip Hop” at the beginning.

Ill post both. But this is the song they are covering (it’s still played in dance clubs today so if you go out often, you will know this song). It’s sort of the disco/hip op days when rap was dethroning disco:

This is the song they derived it from:

Chic, “Good Times”

That would be so good :cry: When they announced this I was like "how much are the plane tickets???" but there's no way this is happening. #sad

Especially when you get two days notice. Those flights aren’t cheap.

Exactly, it would be very expensive. Plus if I was dragging my ass all the way to California, I'd want to stay for a while and travel for a bit, which isn't something you can plan on two days' notice, unless I'd just go withought any booking :dry:

Didn’t see this one posted. Almost all of Suffragette City

Anybody know what else they raffled? It would cool if they raffled vinyl records of the groups’ songs they cover — Who, David Bowie, Ramones records etc.

Jason Beebout’s triumphant return

And one of the raffles was a snowboard which Billie gave to a random guy in the crowd:

Ha! Chadwick Smith’s kid goes to the same school as my daughter. Also my friend, last year, shot a RHCP video at some small venue and I have all the raw footage. You’re so jealous. It’s awesome. ;)

Also, and sorry for being off topic, Flea is my favorite pop bassist by a long shot of all time in every way.

Is there no word from @Admiral_Needa who I thought was going on Monday?  His videos were so good but I don't see anything from him anywhere?  Hope all is ok.

Sorry, feel like I am spamming this thread now.

That’s okay, I was wondering the same thing. Maybe he couldn’t make the show.
