Full concert film of Red Hot Chili Peppers live at Slane Castle, Ireland, on 23 August 2003, in front of roughly 80,000 fans. This live recording captures the California band at a creative peak during the By the Way Tour, months after releasing the album By the Way (2002). Anthony Kiedis (vocals), Flea (bass), John Frusciante (guitar) and Chad Smith (drums) run through a setlist blending era-defining hits and classics: “By the Way,” “Scar Tissue,” “Otherside,” “Can’t Stop,” “Californication,” “Under the Bridge” and the closing “Give It Away.” Released on DVD as Live at Slane Castle, this multi-camera capture showcases the quartet’s funk-rock chemistry, Frusciante’s inventive guitar work and the raw energy of a huge Irish crowd. A defining full concert from the band’s 2000s peak, it documents the interplay between Kiedis and Flea and the melodic depth Frusciante brought to this line-up. Essential live viewing for anyone tracing the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ evolution and one of the most celebrated concert films of the By the Way years.
