Red Hot Chili Peppers

In 2016, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage at Lollapalooza in Chicago's Grant Park, they were riding high on the waves of their eleventh studio album, *The Getaway,* which had just dropped a couple of months prior. This album marked a notable shift in their sound, featuring pop and funk elements wrapped in a more laid-back vibe, and it showcased the band’s evolution. A particularly intriguing tidbit? It was their first album with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer as a permanent member, who replaced John Frusciante some years earlier. The energy they brought to the Lollapalooza stage that summer was electric, illustrating not just their legacy, but also their adaptability in an ever-changing music landscape. Their performance included fan favorites like "Can't Stop," capturing the essence of their iconic sound while also hinting at a fresh direction for the band. It was a moment that blended nostalgia with new beginnings, embodying the very spirit of live music.
