Red Hot Chili Peppers

When the Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage at NOS Alive in Lisbon on July 7, 2023, they were riding high on the momentum from their recent album, *The Empyrean*. Released in April 2022, this album marked a significant return to their funk-infused roots with some fresh sounds. It wasn’t just a comeback—this marked the band’s first record featuring guitarist John Frusciante since 2006's *Stadium Arcadium*, which added an extra layer of excitement for long-time fans. Interestingly, the 2023 show showcased a mix of tracks from their extensive back catalog, complemented by newer hits, creating a vibrant musical tapestry that highlighted their evolution as artists. As one of the most beloved bands in rock history, their live performances often radiate an infectious energy, and this Lisbon show seemed no exception. Who wouldn't want to experience that electric connection between them and thousands of fans? It's a beautiful thing, really—a reminder of how music unites us all.
