Red Hot Chili Peppers

In August 2012, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding high after the release of their tenth studio album, *I’m with You,* which hit the shelves just a year earlier in 2011. This marked a significant period for the band; it was their first album featuring guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who stepped into the shoes of the legendary John Frusciante. The shift brought a fresh sound, mixing their signature funk-rock style with new influences that resonated through their performances. The Lollapalooza set showcased their vibrant energy and tight musicianship, a hallmark of their live shows. An interesting tidbit? The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame just a few months before this recording, a testament to their enduring impact on the music world. So, when you watch that powerful performance, you’re witnessing a group not just celebrating their past, but fully embracing a new chapter in their storied journey.
