Customer Reviews of Red Hot Chili Peppers - Live at Slane Castle

I'm not sure if this was stated in another review, but John Frusciante is arguably the star of the show. Don't get me wrong, Flea is at his normal peak of playing and performing, and Anthony and Chad do a perfect job, but the songs in the show are filled with the normal guitar hooks, but when it comes to the solos, John didn't fail to make me stare in awe. In songs like "Scar Tissue", you can even see the other members of the band smiling in John's direction, also awestruck with his skill. For the Flea fans, however, though he doesn't have as many crazy parts like in the previous DVD releases, there's always "throw Away Your Television", not to mention a number of improv pieces.

They play in front of over 80,000 people, and don't let up for a second. My personal favorites include "Around The World", "Can't Stop", and "Venice Queen". You'll also be treated to their rendition of the Ramones' "Havana Affair". Another great thing is the tunes they play in between songs, and the jams between Flea and John. One particular high for me was their halfway-cover of "London Calling". You can also see Mr. Frusciante with a doo-wop song, somewhere within the few three songs. Also, the lines they play to open the show starts the show off right.

There aren't too many "old-school" Peppers songs, the older of which probably being from Blood Sugar, but the emotion they all put into their newer material proves they love what they're doing. It has the staples of the Peppers of the late 90's to today, with just about all of the singles, like "By The Way", "The Zephyr Song", "Under The Bridge", and "Californication".

The mood of the show is incredible, as well. As the show goes on, you'll see the day quickly go from bright and sunny, to sunset, and to night, and the boys seem to play along with the atmosphere. The 18 song setlist is well worth the pricetag, but add in the unsurpassable performace (John's face during his solos, Anthony's always physical singing, and Flea kicking his feet and jumping around like a caffeine-filled kangaroo), and not to mention perfect video and sound quality, and you've got yourself one of the greatest concert DVDs ever. I've watched it about 4 or 5 times through, and I'm far from stopping. Thanks!

This DVD will leave you speechless!!
It starts off with a powerful, soulful jam which leads into Anthony, along with 80,000 people, singing the opening lines to By The Way. The Chili Peppers are one of the greatest live bands ever. You will be dumbfounded when you hear how perfect everything sounds. The jams between the songs just showcase how incredible Flea John and Chad are. John is probebly the most well-rounded guitarists playing today and it shows. No one can strings chords together like he can. Flea is GOD. he is as fast as a metal guitarist with the soul of a funk singer. Chad is the second coming of John Bonham. And Anthony's vocals are flawless. This DVD is a must for any fan. It shows the band where they really excede musically , on the stage.

One of the best concerts ever!
I find this dvd pretty exiting, it was an exellent camara and a perfect sound. The songs are cool and damn! i was just thown by the view of the stage, the crowd and the red hot chili peppers. You have to buy it! i didn't put 5 stars because they sang some songs i didn't like but that was ok.
