Red Hot Chili Peppers

In late 2003, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, *By the Way*, which had dropped earlier that year. This album was more than just a collection of songs; it marked a significant evolution in their sound, showcasing a blend of melodic and funk-infused rock that's both invigorating and introspective. Their live recording in Yokohama on November 30, 2003, captures the band at a dynamic moment in their career, where they were embracing a more melodic approach, as evident in the setlist featuring hits like "Can't Stop" and "By the Way." Interestingly, this concert occurred just before they began working on *Stadium Arcadium*, their ambitious double album that would drop a couple of years later. This transitional point saw the band expanding their musical horizons while still rocking the frenetic energy for which they’re known, creating an unforgettable experience for the fans there that night.
