Funk rock icons Red Hot Chili Peppers staged a benefit performance at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles, CA last night, October 17th. That special concert was held to raise funds for the Silverlake Conservatory Of Music, a nonprofit music school co-founded by Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea. This show celebrated the 25th anniversary of that organization and saw a few setlist rarities involved.
Among them was the the first performance of “The Uplift Mofo Party Plan” track “Organic Anti-Beat Box Band” since 2000, the first live airing of the “Freaky Styley” tracks “Nevermind” with guitarist/vocalist John Frusciante since 1992, and “Blackeyed Blonde” since 2000. Additionally, Frusciante performed a solo cover of Carole King‘s “Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?” for the first time since 2007.
According to those in attendance, last night’s setlist ran as follows:
