John Legend Covers Springsteen, Red Hot Chili Peppers Go Acoustic at Benefit

The Red Hot Chili Peppers took things down a notch at their A-list benefit for the Silverlake Conservatory of Music, held Saturday night in L.A. (Oct. 17). The band, not exactly known for being mellow, did their best to match the acoustic vibes of fellow performers Kamasi Washington and the evening’s headliner, John Legend.
