Felt like last night was "Flea Night" on the tour.

It was a great show. I went with my son, and many times during the show I told him, "Flea is the best" or "Wow. Flea is so good live."

He was a legit music superstar last night.

I've heard the "No Frusciante, no care," argument before, but I don't really buy it. Flea is the heartbeat of that band. As long as there's Flea and Anthony, there's a Red Hot Chili Peppers.

I saw the Saenger show in 1989, and the Smashing Pumpkins/Pearl Jam/Red Hot Chili Peppers show in 1992 (I think). I never thought in 1989 that I would be watching the same band in 2016, with my kid, who's the same age as I was, then. It was a really cool night. Felt like a visit with old friends who had new stories to tell.
