Red Hot Chili Peppers

At the time of the live recording of "Scar Tissue" at Lollapalooza in Chicago on August 5, 2016, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding high on the release of their eleventh studio album, "The Getaway," which came out just a month prior in June 2016. This marked a pretty significant moment in their career, as it was the first album produced by Danger Mouse, which gave it a fresh, new sound while staying true to their funky roots. It’s interesting to note that "Scar Tissue," while played during the set, actually originally hails from their 1999 album "Californication," which was a monumental release that helped catapult the band into mainstream success. The juxtaposition of old and new in their live performances highlights their ability to blend nostalgia with contemporary vibes, creating a captivating experience for both loyal fans and new listeners alike. Isn’t it fascinating how music can traverse time like that?
