Concerts RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS AND STONE TEMPLE PILOTS AND FISHBONE -- WHILE THEIR LATEST, CALIFORNICATION, MAY NOT BE THE RETURN TO FORM THAT SOME FANS HOPED FOR, THE PEPPERS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CONSISTENTLY GOOD LIVE ACT. EVEN THEIR INCREASED LEANINGS TOWARDS BALLADRY SHOULDN'T DAMPER THEIR UNBRIDLED, GOOD-TIME-BOYS ENERGY. STP ARE A BAND WITH SOMETHING TO PROVE: AFTER BEING OUT OF THE LOOP OFF AND ON FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS, THE GROUP'S STRUGGLES SHOULD TRANSLATE INTO A PRETTY INTENSE LIVE PRESENTATION. BE ESPECIALLY SURE TO ARRIVE EARLY FOR FISHBONE'S SET. THE L.A.-BASED FUNK/SOUL/PUNK/ROCK GROUP IS ONE OF THE BEST LIVE BANDS ON THE PLANET. 7 P.M. THURSDAY.
