Imagine, having a private freaking concert from almost every great act since the 80s perform for you. Stern has had everyone play at least something for him on air. Incredible.
Not only am I happy to see/hear John back in the band...but can we discuss how healthy he looks too? Seriously, I haven't seen him this healthy since he first joined the band back in 1988. He also looks way more focused. MAD respect to him.
Finally seeing them in February and I am beyond excited. They are one of those bands that have a million hits and a million great songs. My favourite band of all time.
@@jackwitcombe765 Absolutely. One thing that annoys me is they probably won't be playing dark necessities as it's on the getaway. One of my favourites but oh well.
@@lukecoolhand3243 I think they've used some sort of pitch correction to match John's vocal to Anthony's, I think AK has some kind of mild auto tune keeping him in key
Man, I can't believe how much magic lies in THOSE 4 guys. They sound killer together, to this day, This is a perfect example of what happens when chemistry is perfectly matched in music. Wow.
Saw them on one hot minute tour in Toronto but unfortunately john wasn't there, seeing them in 2 months in UK , I've waited long time for this 😢......lol
They’re older now than when The Rolling Stones we’re touring in the 90’s and I remember thinking they had really slowed down at that point. RHCP are still playing with the same amount of energy they had when BSSM came out.
Anthony is one of those singers who can sing off key as much as he wants and it doesn’t matter! It’s all about the extraordinary vibe of these 4 mates together and how well John, Flea and Chad got his back instrumentally. All respects to Josh, he is amazing; but there is nothing like experiencing the original chilli peppers vibe again!!
I couldn't of said it better myself. I was 19 when this song came out. Exact same thing with all my friends. This song brings back so many memories from that time 👍
Oh man, that’s good. Love how light, almost vulnerable Kiedis sounds in the beginning, but really grows in strength into the song, as they all do. The outtro with Flea and John is also hauntingly beautiful here. Beautiful.
I know when Josh was with them they did an unplugged show. I remember them playing Under the Bridge and By the Way. I couldn't tell you what other songs though because it was so long ago
Absolutely epic! So happy to see John back in the band. Also, can we please give KUDOS to the sound engineer over at Howard's studio? The absolutely NAILS the mix of every performance at the show EVERY SINGLE TIME.
The triumphant return of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers is a breath of youthful freshness in our souls, which takes us back to the glorious '80s and '90s. And that brings tears to my eyes. It's great that the RHCP has returned in full force.
I didn't even know John was back in the band...This really takes me back to watching this music video on MTV at my grandma's house in the summer time when i was just kid. Time flies.
I love that John starts the song at a slower tempo and then when Chad joins he starts in at a faster BPM in classic drummer fashion and John just smirks. I love their band quirks so much
I just love how even a pro band can mess up their tempo when they start in free time...even on a song they've played hundreds of times. It happens to everyone! At least they obviously aren't using a click.
These guys make me so proud to be a kid from L.A. during the 80's! This city, Los Angeles, as much as I can hate it sometimes... it's in my Heart & Soul, brothers. Keep Rockin'! ~:D
Making me wonder how many legendary songs are stuck in musicians notebooks. This is bitter sweet for me. I bought the album in 2002 when it released and split up with the love of my life I had gastric flu and my gran died. I remember being on the toilet with a bucket and sobbing. Still love this song.
John’s back up vocals are unbelievable! I’ve literally spent hours just actively listening to his vocals on By The Way and Stadium Arcadium and I’m still discovering something new each time.
Never been a big fan of their music, but as a Bass Player what a treat to get to watch Flea!! Also, I had no idea that John is back with them.. I don't know that whole story but it really seemed like he'd never rejoin them. I think it's super awesome he's back in the band with them!! This was a really good performance 👏 🤘
Their best song period. Dynamics and the meaning in it are perfection. Heard it when it came out I was 14 learning guitar/drums and it was perfect. Still is.
This gave me chills and brought a tear to my eye at the end, all they’ve been through together. Truly beautiful timeless song. So happy John’s back! Wishes do come true!
That's so perfect! I literally begin to tremble and vibrate when I hear great bands. No band moves me like RHCP. I just spoke to a friend I grew up with, told her I got RHCP symbol tattoo and got my tickets. She said, YOU'VE LOVED THEM FOREVER!! I was known for being a fanatic maniac. Thank you Howard! Thank you RHCP!! ✌️🤘🤟❤️
I love how Flea and John know each other musically so well and wrote so many good intros, riffs, choruses, outros, bridges etc over the years. Wonderful. And that's not to take anything away from Chad and Anthony because they are incredible in their own right but as a guitarist and bass player I notice the technical stuff more than maybe a non musician just as a singer and drummer notice more than I
I simply love that jam at the end between John and Flea for two reasons: 1. They're finally playing together again and 2. Flea has studied music theory in the meantime and now sounds even better with John, who is a music theory geek himself. We got our boys back, and they've undergone an upgrade.
@@ashwinmenon7636 that's true, but his reasons might still be true.. it is not a jam and anymore than on the record, so in this case, they prob. just relistened their own material, playing it more to spec than ever lol... I do think so far that their new stuff has some kind of advanced melodic/harmonic features to it, but that doesn'T mean automatically that the songs are better in general... still pretty poppy too...
John looks like he's more comfortable and confident than he's been in a long time ♥️ so glad he's back. Much love brother, and the rest of the band too!

and of course his guitar prowess does as well
John is the key, best guitar ever, fills my heart ❤️

He's been very healthy since 1999 actually.

Loved this. To me it was the ultimate healthy answer to the SNL Under the Bridge.

"Under the Bridge" is absolutely brilliant; a masterpiece. As a guitar teacher, I love teaching it.

They are so unpretentious, I love that they are just about the music and they have the same musical spark as when theywere in their 20's.
I think they're really one of the less pretentious rock n roll bands and that's what makes them great.
90's flashback, one of the best songs ever made.
They're almost 60 and they got the same energy that they had the time that song was released. Their new record was awesome, long life to RHCP.
They’re older now than when The Rolling Stones we’re touring in the 90’s and I remember thinking they had really slowed down at that point. RHCP are still playing with the same amount of energy they had when BSSM came out.

I am an old lady living in Crappy South Africa....and the RHCP GIVE me a lot of joy listening...and 💃 to their music.
30 yrs listening, I'm old, their still very good.
😂 same here
Man how I miss the 90s
Me too
Takes me back to my youth, driving around with my best buds, all of us singing along having the time of our lives. Thank you for that 👍
I couldn't of said it better myself. I was 19 when this song came out. Exact same thing with all my friends. This song brings back so many memories from that time 👍
Same. My buds and I would drive all around town jamming to RHCP, chainsmoking cigarettes at 15 thinking we were hot shit. Haha good times
My thoughts exactly. Man, time sure does fly by.
Yes!! I was 18 when this came out... Didn't know it then... but they were some of the best times of my life.

I have the impression that John isn't happy and came back only for money to pay his ex-wife.
40 years on - and just keep killing it. Love them - truly a band, and probably the best at that.
I can't believe these four people are playing music together again. John is the coolest person wearing normal clothes lol.
And Flea is wearing clothes.
Cause he’s Italian
Flea is coolest mofo around. Don't discredit him.
Jeez, I can tell you these four are a family already. ( until the end )
The best song about alienation ever written! Anthony is God!
God, it's so nice to see John in the band, best songs and records was wrote with him, and now it's like all the famely together again. Legends.
Famely
This guitar riff or whatever is soul searching. It passes through you and leaves toffee where you had stone.
Still getting the chills from a song I've listened to a million times and will likely listen to a million more.
My Sentiments exactly!
To see these 4 guys play together again, was all I ever wanted.
A guitar "GOD", a bass "GOD", a drum "GOD", and a vocal "GOD".
I guess we can all be very happy to witness this FREAKING AMAZING band.
