Red Hot Chili Peppers - Take 2

8th June, 2007

We headed into Osaka for a second attempt of seeing the Chili Peppers. Steve was sick this time so he couldn’t make it ☹. Once again we were on a rushed time schedule to make it to the dome on time. We arrived in Osaka at 5:45pm had a quick bite to eat at Maccas and made our way to the dome. The concert started at 7pm.

This time when we arrived at the dome, it was filled with people and the atmosphere was a little more livelier than the last time we went. PHEW!! The dome was just amazing, such an interesting design.

We finally made it to our seats which were pretty good really and about 2 minutes later the Chili’s entered the stage. It was amazing. The crowd of people cheered and roared. There were so many people packed into the dome it was unbelievable.

The set up of the stage was amazing. There were lights flashing and big screens going – it was all happening. Marie, Julian and I stood up for the entire concert. We just bopped, bounced, jumped and basically did all kinds of crazy dance actions the entire time. The Chili’s were also having a good old time bopping away on stage. They seemed to really get into it. It was a terrific concert. The concert went for almost 2 hours which was pretty good I thought. They had an awesome choice of songs mainly new ones but also some old. My favourite was Californication but I reckon the last 4 they played were the best ones. The drummer did an amazing solo on the drums and Flee did a small solo on the trumpet. We even had them singing SOS by ABBA. The concert was over very quickly but it was very enjoyable.

I LOVE THE CHILIS!!!! YAY!!!! Anthony is the most interesting famous person in the whole world and I want to meet him so badly! Unfortunately, he was a little pushed for time that night, but he said that next time he is in Japan, he will give me a call and we will catch up!
