RS 演出報導 http://ppt.cc/smuo Red Hot Chili Peppers Roar Back at Secret California Show It was big funk in Big Sur, California, as the Red Hot Chili Peppers played their first show in four years under the stars, in the Pacific Coast woodlands, on July 27th. The band made their live debut with new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer at the Henry Miller Memorial Library, a cultural center and book store, on a lawn surrounded by towering trees, for a lucky audience of 300 people. The Chili Peppers' bassist, Flea, has a house in the area, and the exuberant crowd was mostly friends and neighbors, who danced despite the evening chill and heard the first concert performances of songs from the group's forthcoming album, I'm With You. 只有300位幸運的觀眾可以入場聆聽，RHCP睽違四年的現場演出。 因為Flea的家在這一帶，所以來聽的觀眾不少是熟人或鄰居 (這麼巧) "Every other song is a new thing, things we've never played before," singer Anthony Kiedis announced, three numbers into the set. "It's just a little exciting for us," he added with huge understatement. "每一首歌都是全新的東西，是我們過去從未表演過的" AK說 Opening with "Monarchy of Roses" from the new record, the band zigzagged between the recent past – their previous decade's success with ex-guitarist John Frusciante – and the two years of writing and recording that went into the new record with Klinghoffer. The polyrhythmic flair of "Ethiopia," the hard charging "Look Around" and the buoyant "Factory of Faith" were dynamic previews of the pop breadth and psychedelic flair of I'm With You. 開場曲是新專輯中的"Monarchy of Roses" "Ethiopia"有著複合節奏的本質(polyrhythmic flair) "Look Around"的重擊(hard charging) 讓人愉快的"Factory of Faith" 這些都是帶有流行與迷幻特質新專輯的預演 The Chili Peppers – featuring new percussionist Mauro Refosco, who played with Flea in Thom Yorke's group Atoms for Peace – also covered Frusciante's two spells in the group, with "Charlie" from 2006's Stadium Arcadium, the rap-metal assault "Throw Away Your Television" on 2002's By the Way and in the encore, the super funk of "Give It Away," from the 1991 breakthrough, Blood Sugar Sex Magik. When the cold started to affect Kiedis' singing, the band changed the set list, slipping in a beautiful, unscheduled take on "Californication," from that 1999 album, with Klinghoffer taking the lead vocal on the chorus to help save Kiedis' voice. 這次加入一位現場打擊樂手Mauro Refosco。 之前有跟Flea以及Thom Yorke的Atoms for Peace合作過。 "Californication"時，AK聲音突然出不來， Josh便幫他唱了副歌擋一下。(靠腰，我想聽!!) The band was literally playing in wilderness conditions. When the lights failed a couple of times early in the show, Flea asked the crowd to turn on their cell phone lights, so the band could see what it was doing. The effect, until the stage lighting was fixed, was like a rock & roll campfire party. 樂團真的可以說是在野外演出。一開始燈光秀逗的不少次， Flea便要求觀眾打開手機的背光，好讓他們才有辦法看見東西。 就這樣直到燈光修好，實在很像一場搖滾露營派對！ The Chili Peppers do two more secret small-venue West Coast shows this weekend, then leave next week for an Asian tour. The band will also play South America and Europe this fall. "We've got new songs," Kiedis told the audience at the Henry Miller Memorial Library. "We've got old songs. We've got Josh. We've got Mauro." They've also got liftoff. 這週末RHCP還會再做兩場小型的私人演出，然後下星期到亞洲巡迴 (喔耶) 秋天則是前往南美與歐洲。 AK對著觀眾說： "我們有新歌，有舊歌，我們有Josh，我們有Mauro。都要一起起飛了。" --
