I've heard people say they prefer studio recordings of songs over live performances by the bands themselves, and I always thought it was crazy talk. Like solo much?
As human beings we watch all the things we like disappear as we get older. There's something so comforting about seeing Flea play bass and jump around. It's a thing you remember from being a kid and here it is, still the same. That guy makes me happy. Frusciante is on fire too.
Yeap, I was the whole time eyeing and earing (is that a word?) Chad absolutely demolishing that kit, his technical precision blows my mind every time. One of the their best performances of Give It Away I've seen.
They 100% still got it. Chad is like a metronome, Anthony doesn't mess up a single syllable, Flea plays with nothing held back, and John is perfect as always. Age hasn't slowed them a bit.
I'm just so thankful that things turned out this way. So many other reunions ended up being complete duds, even with all original or popular members being present. However, our boys sound amazing. This also proves that they're not merely trying to cash in on nostalgia. They're 100% serious about this.
Anthony is never getting old, Flea is never lose his energy, John is never lose his magic and Chad is never lose his power. Age was just a number for them.
Dozens of years on tour, and this performance at the Howard today for me is the most perfect, from the first second. This band has insane stage presence!
Man here’s four dudes who are still at the top of their game. All of them are incredible at their respective instrument, it’s like having four all-stars on one team.
@@deepdivemusicreactions yes. It was great at well. While listening to it I am always reminded that The Howard Stern show has the best sound production out of any show. Also I noticed how shiny Flea’s bass and bass strings are
The fact that Anthony removed his shirt before ending the song, flea dancing all over the place and Chad smashing the shit out of the drums with John killing it on the guitar it makes absolutely 150% the most unique fucking rock and roll band of all times.
I agree. People either love it or they hate it, but it is instantly recognizable and unmistakably him. Having a voice that unique is arguably just as important as the technique behind it, especially for a funk-rock band.
Agreed. The best voices are the distinctive voices. The more time you spend in vocal coaching with someone driving out all the things that make you unique, the less memorable you become.
The mark of a great band- how they sound live. No auto-tune, no recorded playback, just pure, real artistry. One of the reasons I love NYC jazz clubs; you can't fake it.
there is definitely a little auto tune on the vocals... but that's fine, everyone does that these days. Sorry to ruin it for you ;) They do play and sound awesome though. Can't wait to see them in two months
Jesus christ, these guys are ageless. The amount of energy and passion they bring to every show, no matter how little, is 2nd to none! Even Howard was in awe. Just bad ass!
Watching them perform their classic songs live, it strikes you how purely the songs were recorded. Hardly any overdubs or excessive effects. Just the sound of four guys in synch with each other, in love with what they do, and having it perfectly captured by a team of respectful technicians.
A timeless classic. Great groove and power through simplicity. No background vocals. No background keys or synth. Just the four of them keeping it real and simple.
That song never gets old, ever! Chad, being the absolute fucking legendary drummer that he is, paying tribute to Taylor Hawkins on his kit. RHCP one of the best rock bands of all time.
Holy crap. Where to begin. Chad, Flea, and Anthony all doing these awesome flourishes that breathe new life into this song. And that jazzy section before the end! And then of course there’s John being back and on fire. Incredible. These guys just look like they’re having be time off their lives. Who would’ve thought this song is over 30 years old. They’re truly bothers. I’m happy they’re all back together.
There is an audience. Howard reaches millions of people. Just because there's no audience directly in front of them, doesn't mean people aren't listening. They know that.
I truly don’t understand how anyone could dislike this. It’s like a fucking explosion of energy. John’s second solo is fucking insane and the amount of improvising from Flea and Chad going nuts. It’s just pure love and energy.
I felt old seeing how these guys looked during the interview. But they play this song and I felt transported back in time. Im thankful for iconic bands that keep it going
5:16 OMG! Howard’s reaction is PRICELESS! 😂😂😂😂 so good and so genuine!! He was blown away, OMG I could watch that reaction a million times. Howard was left speechless “Wow!! Wow!! Bravo!”
So damn tight, like John never left. Flea, Anthony, and Chad are pushing 60, and still bring the energy!! Truly impressive and I’m even more excited to see them on tour this summer!
I didn’t think they’d have the same energy inside a studio on a radio show but they absolutely tore the house down. One of my favorite performances of this song that I’ve seen to date.
Freakin' awesome. I may have to watch this 2-3 times a day until I am 6 feet under. How can one not enjoy this performance? Just picks up my day folks - dudes are jumping around and performing like it's 1991 again.

John’s guitar solos just take the song to another level. Wow!!!

Both of them
STILL GOT IT
Drums are the star of this one though...tight!
best solos his played since comin back
John's transtion from funk to distorted guitar solo and vice versa is so clean!

well said. we must protect flea
It’s crazy to think that Anthony and Flea will turn 60 in a few months.
100 percent
I felt the exact same way watching this. Thanks for having putting it into poetic words for us all
Looks silly to me.
Everybody talking about Flea, John and Anthony but Chad is absolutely rocking it too!
Yeap, I was the whole time eyeing and earing (is that a word?) Chad absolutely demolishing that kit, his technical precision blows my mind every time. One of the their best performances of Give It Away I've seen.
He always was awesome, but somehow I feel that he's pushing it even more on every recent show they made. My main influence as a drummer
Right I feel like he never gets as much recognition as the others.
He's a monster drummer...!!!
👍🙏👍🙏👍
He's Amazing🔥😎🤙🎵🎶
This is their best performance of Give It Away. What a jaw-dropping rendition of this song.
The fact it was in front of an audience of Howard Stern and his sound engineers makes it amazing
Not many bands still sound this good after 40 years

I told someone a decade ago how incredible of musicians they are and grow exponentially with time.... 10 years later
Remember good time boys? They don't believe in age!
Anthony is never getting old, Flea is never lose his energy, John is never lose his magic and Chad is never lose his power.
Age was just a number for them.

Great taste Karl!
Guitar's a little low in the mix...

best in the business imo... the soundguys i mean.
The Chilis are so unique. There is no other band that sounds like them.
Amen!
@chuckbuskeeI was about to say, but they def drifted away from eachother sound imo in the 90s, but 80s had similarities
BRO...whoever mixed the sound is a GOD
Suena tremendísimo!
Howard Stern
Ronnie
lmfao no
Absolutely. Sounds killer in the car too!
Flea’s energy is incomparable. Always gives 100% all the time.
No other way to play bass. 🤙🏽😎🙌🏽😏
and he's at his 60.
He's also a super great dude
“Before every show I get on my FUCKIN knees and pray to God that I can make everybody’s day”
-Flea at the RNRHOF
As a musician, I freaking love that guy!
The chemistry of this four is unbelievable
They're in their 60 with the energy of teens! Gosh I love this band!
I hope to be like them when I grow old.
Holy shit they actually are. My mind just got blown😂
That's what helps alleviate my neuroticism over aging, getting older, fading looks, etc. It really is inspiring!
All that cardio does a person real good.
John isn't 60
With no audience in the room, they completely blew the roof off the place. Love these guys.
Red Hot Chilli Peppers, are truly one of the greatest bands of all time, and i mean that sincerely
Flea brings the same energy no matter the size of the crowd. This is definitely how he practices by himself at home.
I’m glad you made this comment because I was gonna say the same thing 💚 flea is such a beautiful soul🙌🏽
will ferrell is such a great drummer
And Jesus is a god at guitar
I’m not convinced that’s actually Flea, I mean he’s wearing a shirt for a start…
This was his practice session, his bandmates and Howard Stern just showed up and crashed it.
Man here’s four dudes who are still at the top of their game. All of them are incredible at their respective instrument, it’s like having four all-stars on one team.
The dream team for sure
100% Perfect Mix. Never saw a band sounding so good at a Live TV/Radio concert.
I really liked Anthony’s vocal tones, he sounded really great.
He does!! He's been doing really great!!!
Have to mix it up after 30 years, and John's solos...the beauty of Live 🔴
have you heard Under the bridge?
@@deepdivemusicreactions yes. It was great at well. While listening to it I am always reminded that The Howard Stern show has the best sound production out of any show. Also I noticed how shiny Flea’s bass and bass strings are

AMEN!!!! 100% AGREED 👍
Fucking rock hard on!!!!!
They're a funk band, not rnr.
True.🤘
The fact that Anthony smelled his armpit after he removed his shirt before ending the song
John is amazing
I love his solos
ladies and gentlemen, they are back, and the world is suddently better.
Haven't seen someone play a solo like that in a while. Face melted.
Mike mccready
Billy Strings
probably played it 7 million times but they still bring it. sounded so good.
One of the best versions of this song I've ever heard.
Yep, also cause they've been bottled up the last few years unable to perform to the masses via Howard Stern show.
I don't think they've ever sounded this good live
Unfucking believable. In a studio with a handful of people to play for, they brought it.
If not THE best..
Frusciante knows when to shred, when to bend, when to power chord.... He knows everything!
He's a master at his craft. I hope he stays forever this time around. He's needed. We need him. We need RHCP.
@@arned2493 Good one!
Yes, yes and yessss
Their music is like drug to me, can’t get enough of them !
This performance remind me of their weird music video of this song 😆
The Absolute Power of The Fender Stratocaster when placed in the correct hands....
John is the human equivalent of a strat
every serious bassist, drummer, and musician in general can learn the importance of grooving as one rhythm section. RHCP amazing, never gets old
Groove. Feel. Flow. Pocket.
This is how a professional band does it right, they're so solid live. right in the pocket
This never gets old. These riffs are so legendary!
Frusciante nailed those solos, that’s the type of shit I missed from him so much, and that tone.
His tone is even more raw, personal and clean after swapping out the Jubilee. He was using that head since he rejoined, so it's been decades.
yo same. godly fru is back
Yes indeed! The tone! THE TONE!
Brilliant discipline to tempo
Sort of wished they let him loose more on the new record. At least we'll get to experience more live!
This is mixed excellently. Chads drums sound slamming.
Howard’s sound engineer deserves a raise.
100% 🙏👍
I've been impressed with the sound of all the bands on Howard's show.
Yes!!! That was incredible.
Reliably excellent mixing. Professionals are employed. Just as it should be. Howard can afford it.
What an incredible amount of energy just to do a small studio show for a few people. That’s why they’ve the best
The best Give It Away version ever!
So clean, loud, perfect in almost every aspect
Anthony has one of the most beautiful natural voice color, sometimes the tecnique is bad but the color of his voice is UNIQUE

Did John rejoin? I thought Josh Klinghoffer was the current recruit.
@@jordanhasch2544 No not anymore, they kicked Josh and got John back in late 2019. So the 2 latest albums are Frusciante
