Hmm… I was looking at the category dropdown menu for quite some time. I wasn’t too sure to put this post under which category (film or music). Was to talk mainly about my experience downloading one of their concert recently via BitComet, but later thought that it would be better to have a wider topic to introduce more about this band. Therefore, I chose music instead of film, where I think more than half of my blog’s post goes to.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers are a California-based rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1983. Even though they have experienced numerous line-up changes and personal problems, the band has successfully created a sound that combines elements of funk, punk, rap, psychedelic rock and lately pop rock. Over the past 23 years, they have produced nine studio albums which have sold nearly 50 million copies worldwide. The current band members are (from left to right): Michael Balzary (Flea) as bassist and backing vocalist, Anthony Kiedis as lead vocalist, John Frusciante as guitarist and backing vocalist, Chad Smith as drummer.

Gezz… After finished typing the introduction, now I feel kinda lazy to begin my so-called wonderful experience pulak. I started my random search for Red Hot Chili Peppers live concert last Tuesday midnight when I returned home after my Penang one day trip. (Oh yea, I almost forget about this important announcement. Dear fellow friends, I’ve bought my 200G external harddisk last week! Which means, I can get back into the hyper mood downloading great stuffs again. Ahem, you certainly understand what I meant by great stuffs right? Bwahahaha.) Then I found this video entitled "LIVE at BBC Secret Concert Red Hot Chili Peppers 28.05.06". It sounded very interesting to me as it was a very recent concert I supposed. So, without hesitating much time, I clicked and started downloading it.

After four days…

Bloody hell tmnut tortures my body and soul, both physically and psychologically, by keeping me waited for so long. But when I was chatting online with my dear yesterday night at around 4:30 AM, suddenly a small notification window poped up and I was like, weeeee, surprisingly, my download has finally been completed without me actually realising it. Had a quick glance through the two VOB files immediately, both video and audio qualities were far above average, very satisfying indeed. And as usual, I have to rename every single file of mine before moving it into my favourite collections folder.

Looking under Google search, I found this review and was about to rename my file "Red Hot Chili Peppers Live At Canvas (14th April 2006)" according to this result. But why is it 14th of April? Not 28th of May? And when I browsed through the photos in their website, the stage setups and most of the costumes were almost the same, but why is Flea topless when in the concert video I watched he was wearing a long sleeve tee? Then later after searching for a few hours again, I only discovered that Red Hot Chili Peppers had actually played in the same venue in two continuous days (without changing clothes). So, in conclusion, mine is the show on the 15th of April. Am I right? Please correct me if I’m wrong.

Bla ble bli blo blu… What a post. I don’t even know what I’m writing. I’m rushing out now. To have dinner with my family. Celebrating father’s day. Happy daddy’s day! I love you papa. ^_^
