3 weeks before my wife and I tried to get tickets for the Red Hot Chili Peppers here in Berlin and surprisingly there were still tickets left for the upper ranges of the Mercedez Benz Arena. The view to the stage should be straight ahead so we decided to take two of the last tickets.
It was a dry Thursday evening here in Berlin. I arrived early enough from work - gates were opened already at 6 pm but we were only two hours later ready to go - prepaired with our tickets and a little remote glass to have a better view to the stage.
One bad point this evening was that my wife had strong headache but she said it would be ok.
We arrived at the MBA at 8:30 pm and a lot of people were still arriving so our thought was that they would not play yet.
For a short moment we were shocked at entrance because the card checkers asked us while showing our tickets for our identification papers which we left at home but they were gracious and let us in.
Inside the MBA we heard that the opener band was still playing so we took quickly something to eat and to drink.
We found our places in time and short after 9 pm RHCP entered the stage and they made a very professional two hours show (look at the pictures). They played a lot of their hits and the audience in our neighbourhood were singing all verses. I took some videos and some pictures and also tried to sing with (you can hear it in some videos). My wife had some problems with the lightshow but she was brave until the end of the show. It took a while to get out of the building and we were grateful to find a taxi which brought us home
Here are the songs I think they were playing:
Scartissue Blood Sugar Sex Magik Otherside Californication By The Way The Zephyr Song Can't Stop Dani California Snow (Hey Oh) Tell Me Baby Monarchy Of Roses Look Around Dark Necessities Go Robot
Encore Give it Away Pea ...
