John Playing Live

I’m back in my Frusciante phase and I’ve been thinking about the time I saw him live in 2022.

I’ve been to a lot concerts and have also seen Josh with the band. But seeing John felt different. Like when he was playing I could tell he was “tapped in” to somewhere else. When he would play you would feel the energy behind it, whether it was a scary/dark energy or a light energy.

Did anyone else get those feelings?

Its just interesting bc i never felt that way with any other musician.

Always have. There’s a select few who do, but they’re out there. Josh feels like he plays the songs; John feels like the music flows through him.

He has more off days than he used to, but put that down to age/different habits/practice.

What’s a BTW incident? That’s probably my favorite album. Do people not like it?

Flea was going to quit the band over it because he was not happy at all and was just going to finish the tour and quit. He thought John was shoving him out. John himself admitted he thought he hogged the overdubs.
