Red Hot Chili Peppers

On Saturday, August 11th (10 days before my due date), Nic, my mom and I went to the Red Hot Chili Peppers concert! The concert was originally supposed to be in February, but the week before one of the guys hurt his ankle and they had to re-schedule. I was so bummed when I found out it would be in August because I knew there was a pretty good chance I would miss it.  I begged Hudson the entire pregnancy to stay in until after the concert and told him that if he wanted to hear some really great music (Aerosmith and RHCP) he needed to stay in until I told him he could come out. Of course, in my mind, I had always imagined something really dramatic happening like my water breaking during the encore (of course it wouldn't cause me to miss my concert~this is my dream scenario after all) and having to rush straight from Staples Center to the hospital. Of course that didn't happen, but Hudson did stay in and I was able to see an amazing concert. It was sooooo good!! The RHCP have so many great songs and they sounded amazing!! They did Around the World, Snow (Hey Oh), Otherside, Look Around, Can't Stop, Soul to Squeeze, The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie, Under the Bridge, Californication, By the Way, Suck My Kiss, and Give it Away. As you can see even with all those amazing songs there were tons of other favorites that they didn't even do. It was great song after great song and we could easily have listened for another hour and still not heard all of their best songs. Nic and I had the best time and absolutely loved the concert! I must say, I am pretty happy with Hudson that he stayed in long enough for me to see this concert. It is another band that has been at the top of my concert list for a long time and it lived up to all my expectations.
