Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live at Slane Castle
Date undefined Red Hot Chili Peppers have been around for over twenty years now, it's hard to believe they are almost old enough to be in the rock hall of fame. Most bands wither apart after years of fame and success. RHCP have become an even tighter pact. "Live At Slane Castle" is an unforgettably powerful live concert.
From the intense camera angles and fluidity between these funkafied vets, you're getting your moneys worth. The song selection is top notch. Released before "Stadium Arcadium", RHCP displays mainly "Californication" era material and "Bye The way" (which at the time was their newest release). Two songs from the classic "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" (RHCP's fifth studio release) make an appearance too. Those being "Give it Away" and "Under The Bridge" both relatively big RHCP hits.
The ideal musicianship for modern day rock acts is diminishing, you'd never guess with these guys. Improvising has always played a part in the bands live acts, watch as they unfold a jam without missing a beat. Flea and Chad jamming, trumpet and drum. Everything feels top notch here, the menus aren't gimmicky, the sound quality is top notch, they caught the band in an amazing performance, and best of all it's almost 2 hours (well just shy as it's about an hour and forty-two minutes). The atmosphere and crowd is astounding. Take a look at the cover and tell me you can't estimate the proportions of such a concert. The background effects are interesting, and a cover of the Ramones track "Havana Affair" even comes into play here.
Only gripe if any is that it has to end. "Soul to Squeeze" was removed from the footage due to the guitarist (John Frusciante) breaking a string. Another interesting fact, this is RHCP's second time performing at Slane castle, once before in 2001. Really can't trump this card, RHCP have made one of the best live performances of all time.

Date undefinedOutstanding!!!!!!I was never a big RHCP fan, but after watching this DVD for the 75th time in a row because of how good it is, I highly reccomend this. John Frusciante might be the best guitarist around today, his solo during "Dont Forget Me" at the 55 minute mark, is the best minute of guitar playing Ive heard in decades, wish it would have lasted longer!!! This DVD is a must buy!
