CHICKENFOOT: Quality Footage From Last Night's NYC Concert Available
August 18, 2009Quality fan-filmed video footage of CHICKENFOOT's August 17, 2009 performance at the Beacon Theatre in New York City can be viewed below.
CHICKENFOOT was forced to cancel its sold-out shows in Hamburg (Große Freiheit, July 7) and Copenhagen (Vega, July 8) after drummer Chad Smith aggravated an old injury that had not healed while playing the Olympia in Paris. In addition, Smith was suffering from a tear of various tendons in the shoulder and upper arm/biceps.
CHICKENFOOT's self-titled debut album has sold 278,000 copies in the United States since its June 5 release. The LP is packaged in heat-sensitive artwork, which means when you put your hand on the CD inlay, photos of the band members are revealed behind the CHICKENFOOT band logo.
CHICKENFOOT first got together more than a year ago when they started jamming in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Although they called the band CHICKENFOOT at the time, guitarist Joe Satriani told The Pulse of Radio that nobody thought the name would stick. "Sammy's [Hagar] saying, 'Oh, you know, we can call it CHICKENFOOT,' and everybody laughs and says, 'Yeah, okay, it'll never be called CHICKENFOOT, of course, that's a horrible name.' And that's the way it was for about nine months, until finally someone said, 'You know, you can't change it now, everyone's calling you guys CHICKENFOOT.' So we wound up with that name, I think, quite by accident."
