Red Hot Chili Peppers: Off The Map [2001]

The californication era is the one I prefer the most. The band was at their high point. With John back on board, the band took off once again and proved everybody wrong who didn't believe in them. I prefer this concert to any other officially released rhcp show, because Flea still had a huge part in bands sound, which changed a lot after their next album and the whole band just rocker more than in the later years.

Here's a chance to catch up on the sounds & atmosphere of a Classic Band In The Making. I was late to the party with the Chili's, 20 yrs ago, though I'd seen festival slots on TV, and really enjoyed myself. I've several CDs of theirs, but am glad I took this opportunity to delve further back as well.

Watched multiple times and never fails to amuse. Must have for any chilis fan :-)

This was recorded straight after the release of Californacation and captures the band at a pivotal moment in their career. Great concert full of energy and lots of songs from the blood sugar sex magic album as well

The performance is good but the dvd hangs after a couple of songs. There's no way to watch further through the concert.

This DVD footage covers the best and most lively period from the Red Hot Chilli Peppers sporting their familiar Mohawk style.

This DVD, as mentioned, captures the final night of the dominating Californication tour, putting the Chili's back on the map after the diabolical spell between Under the Bridge and the return to form after One Hot Minute. However, it isn't one show. Throughout the show, and even actual songs, the background changes from cloth, to televisions, to this unusual circular pattern, Chad (drums) repatedly appearsd without and then with hat, and starngely enough, John (guitar) underpants which protude from the top of his pants change colour. Don't let this deter you. Any doubts you had about the musical ability of this band can be easily expelled with this DVD, featuring stunning performances of classic songs such as Pea, Scar Tissue, Under the Bridge, Californication, Give it Away and many more. Also we see superb solos from all 3 instrumentalist, with Flea's ultra fast fingers delight the audience. The pure beauty of the Chili's stage performance is taken away from by the picture quality. This downfall, which stops it reciving full stars, is viewed as if been recorded on a home video recorder, colours fading into one another, and cannot be compared to more recent Music concert DVD's (Muse - Hullabaloo springs to mind as being superb quality). However, if you can forgive this, you are in for a real treat.

First up for all those people mentioning the continuity problems on this DVD - it was filmed over two nights ! Anthony's hair changing, Chad's hat, John's pants, etc, etc, etc. The footage was was taken from two concerts and the best bits were picked out and spliced together to create an absolutely amazing live music DVD. That aside, let's get down to the performance itself. Amazing. Astounding. Brilliant. I've been to a great many Red Hot Chili Peppers concerts over the years in several different countries and even more cities, and since they toured the crap out of 'By The Way', their live performances have started to lose some of the frantic energy that us long time fans are used to. Let's be honest though, John aside, the rest of the guys are 40+ !! Although I wasn't at this gig, it's one of the best shows I've seen them put on. I think this performance catches them at the peak of their 'live' careers. They still have the energy to put on a great performance, and their catalogue of songs is excellent - picking the best of everything up to 'Californication'. My collection includes all the RHCP DVD's, and this one is far and away the best. Highly recommend.

The RHCP are those pesky funky monks that don't know when to quit, they're still around after all these years and good on them for sticking around when so many other bands would've packed up and faded away after all these years. Off The Map: The Concert DVD is actually one of the best concerts I have managed to buy. This concert was the final one in their popular 'Californication' tour. The DVD is great quality and goes for 2 hours. It can be viewed on DVD, DVD-ROM and Playstation compatible. The DVD has also pre-show backstage footage as well as interviews with separate band members but what sells the DVD is actually the concert. 18 songs are included within the concert footage with many of the Californication album hits as well as some oldies from past albums. The funky monks are aging like fine wine and the result is better music delivery. There is also a section of additional live footage from the studio of Parallel Universe, I could have Lied, Search and Destroy. A must get and see for any funky monks fan.

全くレッチリは最高だぜベイビー！！ ジョンとフリーの狂った音がガンガン頭に響いてきやがる！！

Buen concierto

Dvd ok ma il video non corrisponde all'audio: l'audio è live mentre i video sono sia live che video di prova.. Lo si nota dalla testa di Kiedis che quando canta live è all'insù mentre quando canta in prova è abbassata.. per il resto ottimo live, ci sono gran canzoni.

Parfait, très bonne état et fonctionne, je suis très satisfait, un de mes live préféré, à voir et à revoir
