You can tell that they enjoy playing this song soooo much, it's rediculous how great this band is. There needs to be more modern bands with this kind of love and passion for playing together and music
Kiedis is the only person that could ever lead this band... he's not a classicaly trained singer, and hes not always on key (as people love to point out) but you can find someone in american idol who can stay on key. Kiedis's voice is just perfect to me, nobody does it like him
Couldn't agree more Nick, Tony is irreplaceable when it come's to a Chilli Pepper frontman, it just wouldn't work w/o him. Actually, this core four, Anthony, Chad, Flea & John, they mesh together so well & compliment one another so beautifully it would be nothing short of heartbreak for me to have to see any kinda lineup change @ this juncture in the game. We've been down that road before & were somehow fortunate enough to find our way back to the bizarre, symmetrical Beauty that is RHCP. These guy's man, (speechless) I Love em' ! They're such a positive constant in my Life, how do you thank someone for something like that..? Amazing Band, Amazing Bunch of Guys...🌶🖤♾
Claire, I stumbled on this while looking for the best copy from Looking Glass to add to my library. I heard this and stopped looking! VERY WELL DONE. This song has a lot of sentimental value to me. I was just a 17 year old kid raised in the mountains of Colorado when I joined the US Navy. On my deployments faaaaar away I would think of this song but I was thinking of just how much I truly loved my childhood in those beautiful mountains! This song got me through some really rough times!
Same here. If I've had a bad day or am feeling low I come here to watch 5 middle age men just loving life singing possibly one of the most uplifting songs ever written.
sick version, this cover suits their style very well and yes Flea is god on the bass. He has complete mastery of the instrument , yet he knows when NOT to play, which is even more important than tripping out on cheesy scales for a whole song. The guy is a total musician, he is a trumpet prodigy as well, no one can ever knock this guys endless talent.
I saw this live in Cardiff on this tour. When Anthony or Flea introduced the song they said they were playing it for themselves mainly and they would be enjoying it more than the audience. Then when they played this I was almost in tears as I loved the original by Looking Glass when I was much younger. They obviously didn't realise that some in their audience were old enough to remember the original when it was in the charts.
Yes, Flea owns the bass. The bass player for Maiden has got have fastest fingers I've ever seen on the bass. His name escapes me right now. Love the bass guitar in the right hands...
This song sounds so happy and fun , even more when we see john's smile at 1:18. He was really having a good time playing this. I ever have to come back to this video to catch a good vibe.
When they covered this or The Bee Gees or Elton John at concerts it was all Frusciantes idea. You can tell he loves playing the music he grew up with live.
These cats are truly having a blast jamming this song! You can see it & feel it! Their not playing for 80,000 people somewhere. It's just the 4 of them in a gurage grooven!
I get it, josh is a good musician. But there's just a feeling of happiness that I get watching John on that stage with the band. They all seem to be so happy and full of energy with John.
Perhaps because they were just younger and also different. But honestly speaking I feel what you're saying. And it actually kills me a bit to know I won't see them perform like this.
I love this they're all grinning during the whole song. It's great to see ,at that time, that after 20 years of playing they still enjoy making music and finding fun songs to play
This was one of the greatest songs of 1972 I remember riding in the backseat going down country roads in the Summer with the windows down hearing this on the radio as a kid
Whenever I watch something from that show (Rock Palast 2004) I'm chuckling. John's worst outfit ever, Anthony's worst vocals (he was sick), but the crowd loved them and the Peppers were smiling and happy. Love it :)
Well, although Antony going out of tune in many songs due his tinnitus was attacking (mainly parallel universe) i loved this show. John are amazing in vocals and improving solos, and i liked his sport outfit lol . Flea and Chad both excellent as always. The Zephyr Song from here is my favorite version.
Very nice cover from the band. I've always love the soulful sound of Looking Glass. The Chili Peppers have the chops to pull it off, and they did well. Nice job, boys !!!
Covering this song, already one of the coolest bands of all time, just makes the chilis even cooler. One of the nicest covers of one of the 70's best songs
John, when he came back, was unstoppable. Highly, highly underrated guitarist due to his drug and disillusionment problems where his playing was subpar.
@@drgrasshopper9924 yes absolutely Josh I feel was the only one that could have filled in but the band just isn't the band without John have loved them since mother's milk
Just found this video. My God, 1 of my favorite songs since a young girl. Hats hats RHCP, especially seeing you have had such fun playing it. Thanks for making ME smile. Love to all.....
I've listened to this several times now. Their musicianship is even better than the original recording. I just love the interplay between Flea and Chad. Flea is so melodic, and Chad, when he goes from intense moments to quieter beats gives way to Flea to do his thing. Really listen to what's going on here. It's incredible. But, the 4 of them are so connected, too. I really love that we get to hear a different side to them in this cover of a great 70's tune that I enjoyed back in the day when it came out. Hey, I've gotta go, there's this great cover of a 70s song by the RHCP I need to listen to again :)
Anyone wanting or needing a dollop of joy today should watch/listen to this Red Hot Chili Peppers’ cover of The Looking Glass’s song “Brandy”. Flea, the bassist, is having more fun per note than any human alive. If this doesn’t lift your spirits and put a smile on your face nothing will.
I keep finding these very tasty Red Hot Chili Peppers covers of classic pop songs. Bravo. Do they have a album of these? They did a great job on “For Emily….
i wouldnt have thought they could pull it off and pull it off well they did!!!,,i love how the guitarist was really enjoying this song you could tell he loved it he almost forgot to run up there and do his do do do Do do do Do part at the beginning of the song,,lol he got lost in Fleas baseline i guess cause it was kicking ass huh,,,very nice of the guys to do such a great tribute !!!it was really from there heart too!!!
Got a great chance to see these guys on Mothers Milk and then again years later on Blood Sugar tour. Changed my life almost as much as the 1st time I saw the Dead.
The lyrics tell of Brandy, a barmaid in a port town. She wins the admiration of many of the sailors, and the love of the song's narrator, but he, alas, is not willing to abandon his true love, the sea. In spite of this, Brandy continues to love the sailor and wears a braided silver chain with a locket that bears his name. It's been suggested the song is inspired by the real life story of Mary Ellis, whose grave resides in New Brunswick, New Jersey where the band(Looking Glass) was formed.
Thousands of bands have played this song but these guys are the only ones that have 100% nailed it. Kudos to Looking Glass for the original version which is perfect but I love this version.

The band’s palpable enjoyment of this song, and the fun they have performing it, makes me really happy 😃
Same!
Same!
Yup. Not many bands would even bother with an old tune. But the chilli peppers ain't like all the rest. ❤
You can tell that they enjoy playing this song soooo much, it's rediculous how great this band is. There needs to be more modern bands with this kind of love and passion for playing together and music
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
Kiedis is the only person that could ever lead this band... he's not a classicaly trained singer, and hes not always on key (as people love to point out) but you can find someone in american idol who can stay on key. Kiedis's voice is just perfect to me, nobody does it like him

singers with "bad" technique sound mad, jimi hendrix and lemmy dont sing "properly" but they sound top knotch
There's 4 people to praise in this band and you choose Kiedies
@@wadewhite6599 Yes because he’s the frontman of one, if not the most successful alternative rock bands of all time
💯% agree
He gets hated on so much, I don't get it
I love to Gene Takovic singing this.
I grew up listening to the original and RCHP does the song total justice. It goes to show the oldies still stand strong. Great cover.
Haha. My initials are rcph. So I don't care the order you put them in. Lol
I find myself coming back to this video constantly. I love this cover
Claire Danielle this is the only cover I think outrocks the original. And, I love the Looking Glass version! Just a damn good song!
@@brettwright883 totally agree! Awesome cover!!

cheesy scales... i bet you hate theory lol
@@erikaw7767 I think he's referring to Entwistle. Who played scales and scales
I agree. I think Flea is incredible.
Yes, Flea owns the bass. The bass player for Maiden has got have fastest fingers I've ever seen on the bass. His name escapes me right now. Love the bass guitar in the right hands...
He's an excellent wrestler, too.
They did this song respectfully and didn't change the song by looking glass total respect!!
I love how much fun they're having while playing this song
I definitely looked like they were having fun
This song sounds so happy and fun , even more when we see john's smile at 1:18. He was really having a good time playing this.
I ever have to come back to this video to catch a good vibe.
***** I do that too whem I need a good vibe :)
+UltimateLink30 i love Flea's face too he's so happy playing it! what a feel good song!!!! Oh and Anthony didn't forget the lyrics!!!!
When they covered this or The Bee Gees or Elton John at concerts it was all Frusciantes idea. You can tell he loves playing the music he grew up with live.
great catch.
makes the video
@@TheMiloRez A feel good song? Are you kidding me. It's about unrequited love. Brandy falls in love with a sailor that never loves her back.
These cats are truly having a blast jamming this song! You can see it & feel it! Their not playing for 80,000 people somewhere. It's just the 4 of them in a gurage grooven!

I saw them with josh about two months ago and they were extremely happy and full of energy
Four years later about your commentary, John is back
John and Flea naturally push each other.
And antony kinda lost it while they were with Johs
only band i will permit to play this song as it should
The bass in this song is so fucking good!
as it is in anything they play
IKR
One one the best bass lines ever laid down.
The 70s....easily the best decade ever...hands down
It's great to see Frusciante healthy, and saying shit like dooda-dit-dooda, dit-dooda-dit-dooda-dit... You know what I'm saying....
Awesome
oh shit thats hard to follow lol thanks xo
totes
It’s awesome how they’re just cracking up and smiling while they’re playing this song. It’s just one of those songs that’s fun
This song was quite literally my childhood favourite, as soon as I got told RHCP did a cover I FREAKED AND CAME HERE ALMOST ASAP
They way they all have smiles plastered on their faces for this makes it so much funner to watch knowing they had fun playing this song:)
Badass... One of the coolest summer tunes from the 70's for sure...
I love when John and Flea are playing with smile on their face. It's contagious :).
Brandy is indeed a fine girl, and these guys make one hell of a fine band
song gives me chills....great tune great cover by the RHCP
I love this they're all grinning during the whole song. It's great to see ,at that time, that after 20 years of playing they still enjoy making music and finding fun songs to play
Best cover of the song, plus they all look sooo happy playing it, gotta love it.
Pleasantly surprised by this Looking Glass cover. Great song. They do know how to pick songs to cover.
This is a fantastic cover of an underrated 70s gem. Love Flea's bassline.
The crowd most likely has no idea who wrote this classic.
my favorite song from the 70s and my favorite band today singing it love them❤
It's so nice to see that there's still at least one band out there that doesn't take themselves too seriously. Viva La Red Hots!
Well said my friend. Well said.
They kept at it in earnest and reached a place where only a grain of sand could reach😊😂
Flea is enjoying this!
DAM FLA flea loves that tune I do too!
Aye he's having a gid yin
They all are dude. Those smiles could steal, "a lady from the sea". ✌
Love how he honors the original but still makes it his own.
Have you ever seen Flea not enjoying himself?
The bass guitar sound is the best sound of the universe :D !!!!!
This was one of the greatest songs of 1972 I remember riding in the backseat going down country roads in the Summer with the windows down hearing this on the radio as a kid

Such a great tribute to this awesome song. I love seeing Flea smiling as he does his magic.
Very nice cover from the band. I've always love the soulful sound of Looking Glass. The Chili Peppers have the chops to pull it off, and they did well. Nice job, boys !!!
Flea's bass is so awesome.
just to see them smiling at each other makes this that much more amazing
Hell yes. ... And more of these moments to come soon I hope!!!! Exciting times ahead
Best band in the world...
Damn straight.
Joana Borba I agree 100%!
I can't believe Frusciante is back, I miss that smile
Fuck yeah!!! So exciting....what a beautiful smile it is
He got married and has a family? He grew up.God bless him!
Hope they bring back this song too!
@@GrimKage definitely the best cover I've heard. On par with the original. Imo
Thier covers are good Higher Ground is probably my favorite but I didn't know they covered this classic.
Covering this song, already one of the coolest bands of all time, just makes the chilis even cooler. One of the nicest covers of one of the 70's best songs
This is amazing ! They always have the best covers
Totally agree. He is definitely a music fan. And if I had his talent, I would lose myself on stage too. Imagine being a part of this band. Wow.
Love this! This song brings me right back to the mid 70s in Beach Haven, NJ.
John, when he came back, was unstoppable. Highly, highly underrated guitarist due to his drug and disillusionment problems where his playing was subpar.
Flea and Will Ferrall are pretty bad asss too
Let's see what he does now
@@drgrasshopper9924 yes absolutely Josh I feel was the only one that could have filled in but the band just isn't the band without John have loved them since mother's milk

I have never seen them look more happy
I love that they are all smiling so much
I love this song no matter who sings it. He was great
Ahhhhhhhhh that makes me smile 😃 fun song and you can tell they're having fun singing it! Love them boys!
Love this! They were having so much fun, and John's smile is great! Thanks for posting.
I really reallty love the hell out of it, when a group will do the song the way it was done in the first place. Love love love this.
best band to cover ramones and looking glass...
Wow, I had no idea they did a cover of this song, another reason to love RHCP more and the song :)
I keep finding these very tasty Red Hot Chili Peppers covers of classic pop songs. Bravo. Do they have a album of these? They did a great job on “For Emily….
They look happier playing this song than any other song I've seen them play. I'm glad my Brandy stole me from the sea.
Wow my favorite band performing my favorite song! This is something I never knew existed! Completely life changing!!
this never gets old.
Just like hillel slovak
@@gunnerrene3053 dark
Oh it got old, it just never got bad. If anything it gets better with age.
Wow what a gem! one of my favorite bands and favorite songs. Glad I found this thanks for sharing
Love this song and this band!
I just found this. Great cover. One of my favorite songs. Never thought any other band could do this song justice but they did.
This is the best cover they ever did i love it so much
i LOVE flea's bassline and john's backing vocals!
Love John's smile!!!!!!
i wouldnt have thought they could pull it off and pull it off well they did!!!,,i love how the guitarist was really enjoying this song you could tell he loved it he almost forgot to run up there and do his do do do Do do do Do part at the beginning of the song,,lol he got lost in Fleas baseline i guess cause it was kicking ass huh,,,very nice of the guys to do such a great tribute !!!it was really from there heart too!!!
Another reason to love the Chilis, you never know what they're gonna do.
Rhcp does the best covers! Havana affair , Guns of brixton, teenager In love, the list goes on!
I've always said the Red Hot Chili Peppers capture the full magic spirit of California across the 70's and 80's...and here we see it!
they always looks happy when they play, at least you can feel their passion in every song
How could they not? Such a fantastic song.
anthony is the cutest of the chilli willis , flea is super groovy, john is a strumming machine and chad is super strong and muscualar !
Reminded me of "Crazy Mary" by pearl jam.
Loved it
Got a great chance to see these guys on Mothers Milk and then again years later on Blood Sugar tour. Changed my life almost as much as the 1st time I saw the Dead.
I so love this.
Great cover
Probably the best live cover I have ever had the pleasure to listen to.
This song is kind of their intermission song. It's a very happy song and cleans their slate, and their ready to keep on rockin. Thats what flea said.
So rare to find a timeless masterpiece, yet one hit wonder in the same song.
this makes me happy
I played this song w/my band & when I heard this AMAZING EPIC performance. I cant help but think -best version of the song 🤘RHCP 4 EVER
Yooo this cover is amazing, almost as good as The Looking Glass. They were perfect for this song
My favorite band with one of my favorites song
Wow...an almost forgotten CLASSIC perfomed amazingly by one of America's most UNDERRATED rock bands of all time...wow...great job guys!
i just found this and am blown away. cant stop listening to it

Every single thing about this makes me SO happy. Johns smile and backing vocals and the whole vibe and how much they all love it ugggh
Yeah its great. I Used to know this from my Sister's Cd and found it now again here :)
you're a beautiful and fine girl.
@@jgrullon32 thank you!
Thousands of bands have played this song but these guys are the only ones that have 100% nailed it. Kudos to Looking Glass for the original version which is perfect but I love this version.
They look so happy playing this too. I've never seen them with big smiles on their faces as I do here.
Ha Agree Its a feel good vibe...
Kim Diack It’s not better than the original.
You should listen to the Looking Glass version

Why did I just now find this. This is incredible
I’m not always been a fan of the Red Hot chili peppers, but they killed this song🇺🇸💪
Very good! Great energy to this performance.
I had no idea Red Hot Chili Peppers redid this song...awesome =) I was named after the original The Looking Glass version.
when john smiles like that, a strat is born
But he's playing a Telecaster in this video
Tremendous track and admiral cover by RHCP. Love Kiedis showing another side to his vocals.
Não me canso dessa banda, amor eterno ao Red Hot ❤️
GUYS MY FAVORITE SONG 🎵 PERSONAL ! IM SO HAPPY YOU SANG THIS SONG !! BEAUTIFUL SONG 🎵 ❤ALL OFF YOU WERE PHONOMANAL!! .....THANK YOU...
