The immediate access to superb LIVE music is by far my favorite thing about the internet. It just hit me that as long as they continue releasing shows on livechilipeppers.com there'll be tons of shows to download with John. I've been wanting more Archive shows from livechilipeppers.com since they released the last 5 from between 1999-2006 a few years back.
There's so many great shows from 99-07 already available, but the band was on frickin' fire throughout John's last era. Not to mention, there's also around 7 albums worth of material out there between demos, b-sides and rough mixes. I'm so excited for what's coming up with John being back it's not even funny. I found all that stuff on Reddit a few years back & from various blogs & sites. I even bought both Bootlegs for the Tokyo 2007 shows from a Vendor in Japan. Osaka is on eBay ATM but I already made artwork for the one I have. If I knew for sure it was a Silver CD, I'd probably buy it right now. Need to research that on Discogs, lol..
A lot of stuff is still on YT and rhcplivearchive.com is a newer site that has a lot of great shows. There's lots of soundboard recordings and some stellar taper pulls available. It's easy to find all the info regarding the shows and super easy to download.

News:
*Take w/ a grain of salt*: Saw on Reddit that: Allegedly, someone met Chad at his art show the other night met Chad and asked him what was up. To briefly summarize - Supposedly John missed being in a band and wanted to come back. It's basically his spot in the band, so the change was copacetic.
Chad mentioned in a recent interview from Rolling Stone that they're working up new material to record now but he had instructions "Not to talk about the band". I'm pretty excited for new music and LIVE shows!
