Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Taken from their mammoth shows in June 2004, Live in Hyde Park captures the Red Hot Chili Peppers at their very best. The scene was set by changeable weather, the Godfather of Soul, James Brown and Chicks on Speed being unfairly jeered off the stage.

Heralded by a tense intro, the funky, fists-in-the-air sound of "Can't Stop" cutting through the ether is one of those moments that make live albums so compelling for those who were there and those who weren't. The Peppers go on to play through 2 CDs' worth of favourites from By the Way and Californication plus newer material such as "Fortune Faded", "Rolling Sly Stone" and "Leverage of Space".

It's difficult to pick highlights, as the level of musicianship from the four was high as ever but unexpected, quirky numbers such as John and Flea's rendition of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" stand out as memorable euphoric moments. Sadly, the only pre-Californication songs were old favourites "Under the Bridge" and "Give it Away", both sounding fresh despite being 13 years old.

Live in Hyde Park is definitely a worthy addition to any record collection. It's amazing that a band in their third decade of success can release theirfull debut live album, but the Chili Peppers prove that they've still got it (now, more than ever) and will be around for a very long time to come. --David Trueman



Album Description

Having finished the biggest UK live outdoor event of 2004, and playing to over half a million people across the country, the Red Hot Chili Peppers release Live in Hyde Park. This by-popular-demand double CD is made up from the best takes from the three shows they played in Hyde Park, London in June, and alongside all the old favourites such as "Under the Bridge" and "Californication", it also includes three brand-new tracks: "Rolling Sly Stone", "Leverage of Space" and covers from Donna Summer, Looking Glass and 45 Grave.

5.0 out of 5 stars PLAY THIS ONE LOUDER THAN LOUD!!!!, 25 Jul 2004
By Suck my Kiss (Liverpool, Merseyside United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I first saw the Chili's in Glasgow, day after the Slane Castle gig. I bought the Slane Castle DVD and still get shivers down my spine when I watch it. This year, I was at the Manchester City Stadium show (18th June) and couldn't bring myself to listen to the radio broadcast on the 20th... Why? Cos it was happening in real-time and I wasn't there. This cd will be for this years show, what the Slane DVD still does for me now. The Chili's are at their best Live, and the magic and chemistry among them is almost touching. If you're only going to buy 1 record this year, make it this one. The instrumentals are beautiful, the songs are timeless, and it's got the worlds 2 greatest guitarists, John and Flea. This won't leave my cd player for months. (ps: buy John's solo stuff, including Smiles....)

5.0 out of 5 stars 85,000 at Hyde Park 2004, 3 Jul 2004
If you were there at Hyde Park on any of the 3 nights they played there, you don't need to read any further. Just go buy the album.
Simply put, the album in all its glory is the complete masterpiece of their finest works. Truth be told, the studio works of their songs does not do them any justice what so ever. In this album we can finally listen to the amazing bass playing ability of Flea.
When you listen to it carefully you may even agree that he eclipsed the other 3 musicians outright. That is not to say that chad, anthony or john were bad. No, in fact far from it. John was clearly putting all of his might in every song, and chad never missed a beat. Anthony has moved away from his monotonous self years ago, and is now an acomplished vocalist in everyway. However, that having been said, Flea is clearly the best bass guitarist the world will ever see for a long time to come.
"Around the World", "By the Way", "Otherside", "My Lovely Man", "Californication" and "Under the Bridge" were all fantastic. But what makes this album so impressive is the jamming in between. "Californication" will never sound the same way again without its obligatory minute and a half intro.
"Too much" you say? "Not enough" say I. The harmony between these four musicians are currently unparalleled. Needless to say, it will take a huge effort for any band to out do their performance at Hyde Park.

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to the first 3 tracks, 23 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I know little of guitars but i know my music in genral and the intro through to the first minute of around the world is Mozart like, in its brilliance. The way the guitar solo builds up to cant stop, then the guitar solo to around the world sent tingles through me and still does. Play cant stop from the fourth minute through to around the world first 30 seconds to get a release of adrenaline trust me.
