Red Hot Chili Peppers

When the Red Hot Chili Peppers lit up the stage in Rio de Janeiro on September 11, 2013, they were riding high on the success of their album *I'm with You*, which had been released in 2011. This record marked a significant phase in their career, featuring new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer, who brought fresh energy and creativity into the mix after John Frusciante's departure. It's fascinating to note that *I'm with You* was a commercial triumph and showcased tracks like “The Adventures of Rain Dance Maggie,” which became a fan favorite. During this live performance of “Higher Ground,” originally a Stevie Wonder tune, the band demonstrated their ability to blend funk, rock, and soul, creating an unforgettable atmosphere. The performance itself is a testament to their enduring appeal, as they connect deeply with audiences, fusing nostalgia with their current sound.
