thanks for the pix and reports everyone its good to get a better picture of what happened hopefully john is feeling all better today although i do feel that respect does work both ways. masses of people do not get upset for nothing. a little explanation goes a very long way glad you fans enjoyed the experience regardless  |

unluckily i didn't took many photos and some didn't came out nice but here's what i did shot  Shot with FE110,X705 at 2007-06-28  Shot with FE110,X705 at 2007-06-28  Shot with FE110,X705 at 2007-06-28 Concert was fabulous for me, I'm feeling sorry for john cause he wasn't able to give the best he could even though this what he gave was enough to be awesome! I didn't saw what was wrong with him, but i noticed that intro for Californication was missing! And that two songs they didn't play... too bad.  |

I see no reason to be sad. That's because you can't put yourself in the shoes of people who barely can leave their own country without the humiliation of giving ten thousand papers to an embassy, queuing up in front of it and so on. And I don't want you or anyone else to be in our shoes, ever, as it's hassle and it makes one feel less human. I believe many people were sad because they're not going to get another chance to see the band in near future. But I also think he should respect the audience. He shouldn't get pissed off when some minor things go wrong, nobody cares about that anyway. All we want is John in a good mood. I didn't like it when in Nijmegen he started to change guitars in the middle of his solo. I don't hear the difference anyway, but I do care about a beautiful moment being interrupted for some stupid tech detail. He is not a dancing bear, he's a human. You don't put a coin in him to see him move as if he were one of those people on the streets who pretend to be statues. He was obviously having a bad migraine. If he is not feeling well, he should not push himself to the point when he could pass out on the stage or something. It's his health we're talking about. And the first thing and the second thing I quotted are contradictory, actually. But I don't want to argue, I am very happy with how the show went and the whole atmosphere before the end, also happy that John is fine now |

I believe many people were sad because they're not going to get another chance to see the band in near future. You misunderstood me  The other person was sad because of the reactions of the audience, I was refering to that. Look at what I posted earlier: Saying that the concert was bad and that John had a bad attitude doesn't mean that they don't like them. The fact that so many people have said it for that show makes me think that something did go wrong. And what is the problem with saying it? A lot of people are obviously disappointed, they have the right to say it and there is no need to tell them off and give them a lesson on how to respect the band for expressing their feelings. Agree. And I know the feeling. Last year at Werchter they also left without an encore, that leaves the audience with an empty feeling. I think the least they could do is have Flea write a Fleamail with some kind of explanation. |

I was talking about him getting pissed, not sick. I know what migraine is, I have migraines. Not arguying, only making sure that I'm not misunderstood. |

I was there too, in the 1st row, right in front of Anthony ;D Anthony and Flea were in the the great mood, they really were! And for me to see Anthony being active on stage and with audience was really amazing! I really enjoyed the show and I will post the pics later even though JC already posted some of them! Mines are better! just kidding ;D  I came back from Serbia on the 27th of June and already on the 28th I had to be in Udine! So sorry for not posting the pics earlier. When I looked behind me (since I was in the 1st row) I was stunned with the image I saw. So many people were waiting the Chili's. We've been through all this John mood conversation and I agree with you guys that it can't end up always perfect. Personally, I think that he could only tried to finish the show and play a few more songs cause there was so many people waiting for them. It was extremely hot (I have sunburns on my shoulders) and one minute later it was raining. We've survived through all these conditions awaiting for the Chili's and I think, John could clinch his teeth and play the other 2 or 3 songs that were on the setlist. I don't know if this "bottle throwing" thing is a product of the lack of knowledge about the RHCP songs (and if the most people from the audience didn't know the songs, that's why they're disappointed with the songs they played) or a lack of awareness that this was a festival and not a regular RHCP show so it had to be shorter. In one moment I was really disappointed with the whole show cause I couldn't believe how could they leave so fast, just when the crowd started to enjoy them. But in the end, I remembered that I really enjoyed it even though it was so short! It was a shock for me at first and later I started thinking with my own head and realized that I have to respect that John, among problems he had, even played so many songs. Iva, I know that a bunch of Serbians had higher expectations. They wanted to hear hits like Otherside, UTB... They didn't and they were disappointed. We know how this setlist songs go and they don't! Well, most of them. Rain started right after the concert and RHCP, like they knew the thunderstorm was coming, get off the stage. I don't have to mention that I came "home" in my camp in the center of Indjija 4 hours later and normally it takes 10 minutes by car to go there. I was covered with mud and was all wet. I really thought I won't be able to go in Udine 2 days later, that I will get sick. Luckily, I didn't. That rain also decreased my impression of that evening a bit. So far I've been on 4 RHCP concerts and I can proudly say that on all of these 4 shows, setlists were more than average! I've been really lucky! |

Here's what the biggest newspaper in the country (the same that STOLE an article I wrote) published today: www.blic.co.yu/culture.php?id=64Immediately after Red Hot Chili Peppers’ concert in Indjija people started speculating as to why the concert lasted an hour and twenty minutes only. According to previous announcements the audience expected much longer concert. One of the concert organizers claims that the concert was shorter than it should have been because one of the Peppers, guitar man John Frusciante, was physically unable to play longer.
‘We were informed to provide an oxygen bottle in the back stage since their guitar man was not feeling well. In spite of that fact the Peppers made an effort to came and perform in Serbia’, Bojan Boskovic, ‘Exit’ general manager says for ‘Blic’.Serbian version of the article is longer, so I will do my best to translate it. www.blic.co.yu/zabava.php?id=7070Good lord, this isn't happening...poor, poor dear gentle creature. He does so much for the people, but he should take care of his health! |

aww poor John  ...migraines suck, my god...to be on stage and suffer from migraine is really horrible. I mean you feel sick, the noises make you wanna throw up and all you wanna do is go and hide in a dark place, cover your ears and eyes and hope for it to go away... and even if it was just a "regular" headache...around loud music it just gets worse and worse. I am sorry for the fans though...hope you guys still had a wonderful time. And thanks for the lovely pictures! |

One (not the people in this forum) thinks always people them constantly are on the move (particularly rock stars) would be the people who would never become ill. And now it has got John just with a migraine on the stage. I think, this is one of the worst things which can happen to one during an appearance. For every artist a nightmare. I was sorry John dreadfully. Anyhow this was certainly also embarrassing for him and for the fans very sadly and disappointing. But also rock stars are only human and such a thing can always happen. I hope and wish that they get over the rest of her tour healthy. A lot of luck boys!  Many, many thanks for all the many nice photos and reporting  |

Dortmund and Berlin where my firstshows and I only had that in mind. This time I let two tiny girls stand before me, because, well, now I'm "above" that. |

I am guessing they will show it after some time passes by and I am looking forward to it, wholeheartedly. Until then, Jux1 took some clips. www.sendspace.com/file/tl26qy RHCP PART 1 (Intro, Can't Stop, Scar Tissue, Charlie) www.sendspace.com/file/56xtk0 RHCP PART 2 (Jam, Readymade, Throw Away Your Television) www.sendspace.com/file/9ygosl RHCP PART 3 (Snow, SOS, Higher Ground) www.sendspace.com/file/mkj9rm RHCP PART 4 (She's Only 18, Right on Time, Don't Forget Me, Flea) www.sendspace.com/file/gpi567 RHCP PART 5 (Intro, By The Way, ending, encore) www.sendspace.com/file/kznlbo RHCP - DANI CALIFORNIA www.sendspace.com/file/e2v4sd RHCP - CALIFORNICATION www.sendspace.com/file/qbye3x RHCP - GIVE IT AWAY Mine are better, but I still haven't managed to compress them without losing too much quality. I need help. |
