There was a Chickenfoot reunion, of sorts, Wednesday night in Boston.
Drummer Chad Smith rejoined the ‘Foot for the encore portion of the band’s show at the city’s Orpheum Theatre.
Smith has been unable to tour with Chickenfoot since the 2011 release of “Chickenfoot III” due to his recording and touring commitments with the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Chad’s recommendation, Kenny Aronoff, has been handling drum duties in his absence.
Smith took the Orpheum stage to perform a drum solo before the group launched into their 4-song encore, which included covers of tracks by Jimi Hendrix and Montrose.
Chickenfoot are currently playing shows on their 2012 Different Devil tour; the 6-week trek, with openers Black Stone Cherry, wraps up June 10 in Los Angeles.
