Red Hot Chili Peppers

In June 1999, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers delivered an electrifying performance of "Give It Away" at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, they were in the thick of a highly celebrated era. This live recording came just as they were riding the waves of their album *The Uplift Mofo Party Plan*, which had initially shaken things up back in '87. However, the Chili Peppers had just released * Californication* in 1999, which marked a triumphant return for guitarist John Frusciante after his hiatus, revitalizing their sound and earning them mainstream success. Did you know that *Californication* went on to become one of their best-selling albums? Seeing them live at such a pivotal time encapsulates the energy and change within the band; it's as if you can hear that optimistic blend of funk and rock that became a hallmark of their identity. The dynamic between the members shines through in this performance, bridging the past and paving the way for their future. How cool is that?
