Red Hot Chili Peppers

On September 12, 2003, the Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked Camden at the Tweeter Center as part of their tour supporting the album *By the Way*. Released earlier that same year, this album marked a distinct evolution in their sound, showcasing a blend of melodic hooks and introspective lyrics while maintaining their signature funk-rock energy. It's fascinating to note how, during this period, the band was grappling with both personal struggles and changes in their lineup—most prominently with guitarist John Frusciante returning after years away. This concert captures the band at a pivotal moment, grappling with their past while embracing new directions. The setlist, featuring tracks like "Around the World" and "Universally Speaking," is a testament to their ability to captivate live audiences with infectious energy, introspection, and improvisation, making every performance feel fresh and exciting.
