Red Hot Chili Peppers

In September 2016, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers rocked the O2 Arena in Prague, they were basking in the vibrant energy of their eleventh studio album, “The Getaway.” Released just a few months earlier, in June 2016, this album marked a new chapter for the band as they collaborated with producer Danger Mouse, introducing a fresher sound while staying true to their funk-rock roots. It's noteworthy how “The Getaway” showcased a shift in their musical evolution — the album included tracks that were a bit more introspective and polished, reflecting their growth over the years. At that live recording of "Give It Away," the audience undoubtedly felt the electric nostalgia of the band's earlier work, combined with the excitement of their new direction. It’s interesting to consider how songs like “Give It Away,” which won a Grammy and has become an anthem, still resonate strongly in live performances, proving that some classics never fade away. That blend of past and present made that night in Prague a truly memorable experience.
