Red Hot Chili Peppers

In June 2004, during their performance at Rock Am Ring in Germany, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding high on the wave of their critically acclaimed album, *By the Way*, which had been released just two years earlier. *By the Way*, while dipping into their signature funk-rock sound, also showcased a more melodic and introspective side of the band, marking a mature phase in their career. Interestingly, this live performance featured their unforgettable cover of "Brandy" by Looking Glass — a bold choice that highlights their willingness to venture beyond their own hits and embrace different musical influences. The energy at live shows like these is always electric, and it really showcases the band’s vibrant chemistry and passion, unique traits that have made them legends in the rock scene. With a legacy of unforgettable performances, this moment in 2004 fits seamlessly into their journey, reflecting both their musical depth and live charisma.
