Fantastic 4CD set of live performances from the Californian funk rockers!
The most formidable of contemporary rock groups, the Red Hot Chili Peppers don’t just defy categorisation, they appear to invent their own with every new release - and often do likewise within the confines of a live performance. Indeed, the group’s startling eclecticism is only surpassed by their lofty talents and astonishing musical catalogue.
This 4CD set features a selection of rare FM radio broadcasts recorded between the end of the 1980s and the middle of the 1990s, when for many the band were at their absolute pinnacle of achievement. Kicking off with a show recorded at the famous Pat O’Brien Pavilion in Del Mar, California in ’91. The collection continues with a recording of the band's legendary performance at the second Woodstock Festival in '94. Last up comes a terrific performance from the Chilis at the Ahoy venue in Rotterdam in 1995, which concludes an extraordinary selection of live performances that provide evidence – if such were ever required – of the Red Hot Chili Peppers peerless position as the finest live musical act working today.
Includes the classic tracks 'Under The Bridge', 'Give It Away', 'Suck My Kiss', 'Aeroplane', 'Me And My Friends', 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik', 'Higher Ground' and more!
