*On June 12, 1998, [[Red Hot Chili Peppers]] performed a surprise eleven-song set at the club. The show, which was the band's first at the new venue (they had previously performed at the old 9:30 Club five times from 1985 to 1987), was their first public performance since reuniting with guitarist [[John Frusciante]], who had quit the band in 1992. The 9:30 Club show was seen as a warm-up for their performance the next day at the [[Tibetan Freedom Concert]], which was held at the [[RFK Stadium]] in Washington, D.C.; when bad weather cancelled their set at the concert, [[Pearl Jam]] shortened their own set so the Chili Peppers could perform a few songs.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theside.free.fr/tour/tourSetlist.php3?id=199806120000|title=The Side - Tour Infos|website=theside.free.fr}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://theside.free.fr/images/concerts/199806120000/bigpics/01.jpg|title=The Side:Pics}}</ref>
