Red Hot Chili Peppers Perform The Getaway Live at Rock Am Ring 2016

Venue: Flugplatz Mendig/Vulkaneifel Location: Mendig, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany Date: June 4, 2016

In June 2016, Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage at Rock Am Ring, delivering a vibrant live performance of "The Getaway." This show was noteworthy as it came just shortly before the release of their eleventh studio album, also titled "The Getaway," which dropped on June 17, 2016. The anticipation was palpable, especially since this marked the first time the band was back on tour with new material in five years. Flea, Anthony Kiedis, Chad Smith, and Josh Klinghoffer electrified the crowd not only with the title track but also by showcasing their signature blend of funk-rock that had garnered them a massive following over the years. Interestingly, "The Getaway" represented a shift in the band’s sound, featuring production from Danger Mouse, which brought a fresh texture to their music. It’s fascinating to see how the band's evolution continued, resonating with both old fans and new listeners alike during that pivotal moment.
