On Wednesday night, Red Hot Chili Peppers debuted new songs to an intimate
audience under the stars in Big Sur, California. Their appearance at the
Henry Miller Library was announced only three hours before the band took the
stage, and it was free for the 300 lucky fans and friends who made it through
the worn wooden gate.
原來這場演出不是事先安排的，
他們是開唱前三個小時才向觀眾宣佈，會做這場演出。
Rounded out by guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who replaced John Frusciante, as
well as a percussionist and keyboardist, RHCP performed five songs from their
long-awaited, Rick Rubin-produced tenth album I'm With You (due out August
30), interspersed with a handful of crowd-pleasing classics.
新吉他手Josh同時也負責新專輯中一部分的打擊樂與鍵盤
當晚演唱5首新專輯曲目
"We got new songs, we got old songs in the deadhead redwoods out here," said
Anthony Kiedis cooly, wearing a tuxedo jacket and an OFF! trucker cap. A
towering pine behind him was lit by a pink strobe. The air smelled green and
felt damp. It was a surreal space for the band's iconic funk-punk.
AK身後有一顆高聳松樹，被粉紅色的閃光燈照亮，
綠意盎然的氛圍，帶著一點潮濕。讓人感到有那麼點超現實。
But Flea apparently lives nearby and visits the library frequently. According
to the show's presenter, coastal promoter Britt Govea of (((folkYEAH!))), the
bassist called him personally to set up the gig about a month ago. The
venue's executive director Magnus Toren said RHCP paid for the entire thing.
Flea家住附近，所以常常去這個圖書館，
一個月前就向他們接洽安排這場演出。
A shirtless, blue-haired Flea joked at the beginning of the set: "Anybody who
knows where I live, now's a good time to rob me. Because, you know, I'm here."
Flea開唱前開了個玩笑：
"知道我家在哪的人，現在是洗劫我的好機會喔！
因為你們知道，我人在這裡。" XD
They opened with one of the Afro-funk-influenced new ones, "Monarchy of
Roses," a darkly burbling high-energy pop song spurred forth by a barrage of
percussion. The audience embraced the unfamiliar song without any prodding.
由於開場的"Monarchy of Roses"是全新的歌曲，
所以觀眾的反應有些遲鈍。
The same was true for the fittingly titled "Ethiopia," which was inspired by
a trip Flea and Klinghoffer recently took to Africa at the behest of Gorillaz
mastermind Damon Albarn. Congas and scatted vocals prevailed over a jittery
groove reminiscent of Talking Heads.
"Look Around" too seemed to be made of a dozen slight interlocking parts,
suggesting a more subtle musicality than heard on RHCP's last album, 2006's
Stadium Arcadium (from which they played the slap-happy "Charlie").
As befit the mood, and Klinghoffer's artful, melodic guitar style, the band
favored songs from 2002's By the Way, swaying through the epic-yet-subdued
"Universally Speaking," vamping (aurally, of course) for the slow and sexy
"Don't Forget Me," and quietly building to a furious funk crush with the
album's titular single.
這段看來，Josh的吉他技巧是還不錯的，掌握了舊歌，
也把普普的首支單曲做了很優秀的現場詮釋。
The coziness was the real draw -- at one point, the guys took turns playing
parts of the new single "The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie" to Flea's
6-year-old daughter, Sunny Bebop Balzary, as she danced on the edge of the
stage -- but the Chili Peppers saved a little spice and hellfire for their
encore, when they surprised all by launching into "Give it Away."
演出"The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie"時，
Flea的小女兒也在舞台的邊邊跳舞，很溫馨的一刻。
The sylvan wonderland seemed an odd place for slam-dancing, but a devoted few
gave it their all from the grass in front of the band, while the rest rocked,
rapped, and thrashed along a bit more quietly. But by 11 p.m., the forest
seemed to have swallowed every sound as the lights faded and the crowd
trickled out to Highway 1.
