This is just a hidden gem man, I would pay to see a video of this performance. Never thought I would hear so many of these songs in acoustic.

[@enteringreality6321]

I agree 100%

[@07Kristin11]

There is a short clip from it on the rhcp live archive.

[@JadieB22]

This might be my favourite version of 'By the Way' ever.

[@bethderrick3975]

MINE TOO

[@goldmantis5850]

I fucking love Flea's baseline after the chorus at the start of the song

Wow! a new version of Desecration Smile

[@joshjohnston2065]

My dad joined me in attending This very BSB. He was excited to see a few different acts, but unexpectedly ended up falling in love with RHCP that night. This audio doesn’t do it full justice, but it’s awesome that someone recorded it.

[@bethderrick3975]

What a beautiful slow version of By the Way! It's the first time I've heard them do this slow version, and I have to say I love it even more!

This is a gem I finally understood what they were saying in the making of stadium Arcadium interviews describing desecration smile and googled bridge foot benefit

Thanks for posting, this was awesome! Miss John with these guys. Together they were something so special. Love the cover of the Neil song. Want to cry listening to this, why can't they still be together!!

Your wish, has come true.

[@daynasilverman1772]

What the fuck? I'm curious that y'all are saying that they broke up? What, when and why!?

[@randyeischens7969]

@@daynasilverman1772 whoa!

[@DanielAirGuitar]

@@daynasilverman1772 she was talking specifically about guitarist John Frusciante, which left the band in 2009 but came back at the end of 2019. The band never broke up as a whole

[@denizb.6882]

man.... a true gem! Why wasn't this video taped? As much as I love their energetic, wild and sex'd up music work.... this acoustic sets are wonderful, really! Very versatile musicians, all of them! Hope one day I can hear them live, and I hate myself for not being into RHCP early enough to have seen a live show with John... but these artifacts are a bit of a consolation! Thanks for sharing!

[@RPostVideos]

Get tickets now!

Yeah professional HD cameras were already around for a while when this happened and consumer MiniDV cameras were pretty decent.

[@yusukeurameshi5083]

That's what I'm saying haha

Its a demo for by the way album

[@irenahalder]

Haha that sweet, funny banter about nervous energy, coffee and enemas 😂 and just look at that heart-melting, no socks photo! They looking like a bunch of hippies from my era 😉

[@tukolo5408]

They have such a unique sound. If you hear a song you know it's them, but each song is its own world within their universe. I never get tired of them.

[@irenahalder]

Turn this right up and immerse yourself in the incredible musicianship of these 4 - the song writing, the instrumentation, the guitar playing, the vocalisations and yes, even Kiedis and his atonality 💛

[@1687angle]

Been looking for a live version of breaking the girl for the longest time 😭

[@irenahalder]

OTHERSIDE !!!! So so special & perfect, although imperfect - you’ll get my meaning, I know .....

[@denizb.6882]

"So so special & perfect, although imperfect" describes Anthony's singing very well... he's not an academic type of singer to me... he just sings... and transposes much more feeling than the vast majority of "singers who learned singing" in a school or academy/university.. Very well put Irena! Greetings from Germany, I suppse you are too! ;-)

[@irenahalder]

Deniz B. This is such an enjoyable compilation, showing their versatility and musicality so nicely. Greetings to you too from my home town London, UK 🌟

[@davidmitchell5419]

I saw its from 2004 then i saw Desecration Smile i was like whatttttt

[@refefe7046]

"Let's jam for a second" said by (Flea or Frusciante?) the best start phrase for a show in the rock history.

[@denizb.6882]

and very apt to what was about to come... the set is excellent and I'd not be surprised, if this really was a jam session and the guys never played (most of) those songs acoustic..

[@mediumsame]

James 00 that’s clearly John....

[@redhotchilipepper432]

It’s John for sure

[@NoticerOfficial]

It was flea, he was trying to get his volume right

[@enteringreality6321]

Wyf thats clearly Flea guys

[@CarlosAT95]

live old version of Desecration Smile, 2 years before releasing. that's nice

[@emmapr9515]

John frusciante the best guitar of history 💉💊🎸

[@kishascape]

He even played for Johnny Cash

[@logananderson8395]

I know he did, didn’t flea do something too??? Anyways, I’m not sure what songs he played. Do you know?

[@12Daniel34]

Fun fact: John Frusciante is not actually a guitar, but a human being who plays the guitar. Confusing, I know, took me years to learn that myself.

[@Rickairosz]

Hahaha maybe in rock but i dont think so

[@mikebolam55]

Flea's riff in I Could Die For You is absolutely unreal. He really makes that bass his bitch.

[@kishascape]

Dude's fingers are shredded. It's amazing.

I saw this concert when I was like 6! I didn't know what I was seeing, so I think I was asleep for like half of it now I filled with regret! lol

[@jamieb7138]

I remember watching a video and the producer who I think was rick Ruben a chose to swap the chorus and the verse which the band preferred

[@denizb.6882]

@@jamieb7138 you're right, it's from the "Stadium Arcadium Documentary" (just search that term on here), where they sit down and discuss the Stadium Arcadium album, really worth watching!

This is the concert they've spoken about in the SA album commentary for Desecration Smile where they said that Paul McCartney was there and said "ooh that's a nice change" or something similar referring to the chord change out of the intro into the verse but that Rick Rubin was never happy with the old chorus and eventually John invented the new chorus

[@GB-333]

@@barnowl2832 yeah and John is incredible because both chorus are great.

133211 You He is saying that RHCP is less of a band since guitarist Frusciante left in 2009, replaced by Klinghoffer. He’s saying you can hear the excellence of Frusciante’s (acoustic) guitar clearly in this recording of 2004, when he was with RHCP still. He’s saying Frusciante is unreplaceable.
