A BAND I HAVE NOT SEEN BUT HAVE BECOME AN INSTANT FAN OF IS THE OPENING ACT, MARS VOLTA IS A VERY ENTERTAINING WITH ELEMENTS OF ZEPPELIN, GRATEFUL DEAD, BLACK SABBATH, AND HMMMMM YOU DECIDE.... BUT DREAMY AND CHAOS MELTS INTO A GREAT PERFORMANCE.
WELL IVE BEEN TO A FEW CHILI PEPPERS SHOWS THIS SUMMER AND MISSED THE FANTASTIC LIGHTS AND SPARKLES DUE TO SMALL VENUES AND/OR OUTSIDE SHOWS. SO HERE IS WHAT AWAITS YOU IF YOU MAKE IT TO SEE THEM PLAY!!!

SINCE BEING LATE IS SEEMINGLY INTENDED FOR ME ALWAYS, WE HAD TO CALL ON THESE FUN CART THINGS TO TAKE US AROUND THE BACK SIDE OF THE FEST TO CATCH THE SHINS!!
ONCE WE ARRIVED WE WANTED TO CATCH A GLIMPSE OF WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO LOOK OUT IN TO THE SEA OF HUMANS WHILE ENTERTAINING THEM AND HOW AMAZING THE SHINS PLAYED FOR US ALL!!
