The new songs from the latest album “The Getaway” fit perfectly in the RHCP setlist, “Go Robot”, “Goodbe Angels” and “Sick Love”.

Along with the new material from “The Getaway”, fans were treated to favourites such as Stevie Wonder cover, “Higher Ground”, “By The Way”, and finisher “Give it Away”.
