Skydome, Toronto

I say three stars for this show because despite the great performance for the Chilis, the accoustics at the Dome are crap. And the arena atmoshpere killed all intimacy between the band and the fans. So consider this if you're planning on seeing a concert there.
As for the performance, it was full of energy and intensity. Even though there was a huge separation between the band and the fans, RHCP still managed to unite a sold out crowd as they held up lighters, sang along, danced, and moshed. I'd also like to point out that Dave Navarro is a great addition to the Chilis, not only is he a one of the best guitarists out there right now, he's even better to see live. Overall, it was a pretty good show for such a large venue.
