Monarchy Of Roses - Red Hot Chili Peppers Live Performance in Athens

Venue: Stade de France Location: Saint-Denis, Île-de-France, France Date: June 30, 2012

In June 2012, when Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked the Stade de France in Saint-Denis, they were riding high on the success of their album *I’m With You*, which had dropped the previous year. This album marked a significant turning point for the band; it was their first studio release after the departure of longtime guitarist John Frusciante. Fans were eager to see how this new chapter would unfold, and *I’m With You* showcased their ability to evolve while retaining their signature funky sound. The setlist for that night would have featured tracks like "Monarchy of Roses," which is a prime example of their ability to blend introspective lyrics with danceable grooves. Fun fact: the recording at that concert not only highlights their dynamic stage presence but also captures the palpable energy of a band that has learned to embrace change and innovate, keeping their legacy fresh even after decades in the game.
