This was originally a limited release in Europe only, with 10,000 numbered copies, but now I understand it is part of the box set that dropped ten days ago. Hey, that's what supergroups can get away with. LV is an hour of live selections from the two support tours. The first four songs are from last year's trek to promote "III", but drummer Chad Smith was off working with that other band, Red Hot Chicken Peppers. As I made my first spin through, I could sense a difference in the performances. The last five songs are from a show in Phoenix on the initial tour in '09, and the vibe was much better with all the superstars in the house.
Sammy knows how to milk the cash cow, doesn't he? The live DVD from the first tour, bonus tracks, import-only, box set...
Love how honest Sammy is by keeping the flaws in his released product. He's on the record as saying that song would have been a huge hit decades ago when radio had a conscience, and he's probably right. He's also just announced he's doing another solo record this year...
Ride the big wave, Red Rocker...
