Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...old school rock and roll, Live In Hyde Park is their first live album, which is a suprise, as the band itself is renowed for their live performances. Live In Hyde Park is a two disc set, covering the full live performance (just over two hours), which in itself is value for money, it has 26 tracks, using a combination of their old classics, with their modern yet unmistakeably funk rock tracks, and even throws in some brand new, unheard songs and ...
...in full pride the bands live abilities. The first time I listened to this album, I was concerned, after hearing other groups and bands compilations, and listening for the negative tell tale signs of live, I was suprised as you find yourself not noticing the perfomace was recorded live, apart from in between tracks, in which the track change is seamless. To the tracks, the start of the first CD launches you into the album, with a track length intoduction, ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...recorded over 3 days of live performances in London's Hyde Park, which were performed in the summer of 2004. When buying this album i was quite critical of it before listening. My main thought being after i'd heard some of their previous albums (quite impressive) that they would not be able to capture the emotion and energy that can be found on such albums as 'BloodSexSugarMagik'. But i stand corrected. The album kicks off with a melodic funk riff ...
...great thing about the Chilis live is their great ability to keep things fresh, i could not find a song on this album that sounded identical to original. This is not a mistake, and what something i didn't expect but was pleasently surprised to hear re-vamped songs, makes an album more exciting. To anyone thinking of buying this album i would strongly advise it, perfect for a Christmas present, and is suitable for all ages. Not only that i guarentee ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...red hot! This is a live recording from one of the June live shows in Hyde Park. It includes 2 never before heard tracks, one of which is black cross, which is more nirvana-like than their other hits. Though a live album, there is not a particularly noticeable decrease in sound quality. The only bad bit, though it isn’t that bad and may have been intended, is an unusually high distortion level on the electric guitars in Black Cross. The great thing ...
...songs are on it. There are two discs and here are the tracks: Disc 1: 1.Intro 2.Can't Stop 3.Around the world 4.Scar tissue 5.By the way 6.Fortune faded 7.I feel love 8.Otherside 9.Easily 10.Universally Speaking 11.Get on top 12.Brandy 13.Don't forget me 14.Rolling sly stone Disc 2: 1.Throw away your television 2.Leverage of space 3.Purple stain 4.The Zephyr song 5.Californication 6.Right on time 7.Parallel universe 8.Drum ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...advantage of the tracks being live ,is that there's always something different about the songs compared to the original track. For instance, during solos, flea and john will improvise and it sounds incredible! This album is good, as it allows people like me, who couldn't get tickets to the shows, to hear what everyone heard when they were there. It makes me feel like i am actually there. There are a total of 26 songs, which is over 2 hours of playing ...
...a CD booklet which includes live photos of the band members at hyde park. Also, on this album, i especially love the new tracks; they are outstanding. If that's the sound of things to come, then i think the next album will be truly stunning. Here is the tracklisting Disc 1 intro (cover, originally by joy division) can't stop around the world scar tissue by the way fortune faded i feel love (cover,originally by donna summer) otherside easily universily ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...added bonus is that it's live at one of their biggest gigs in the UK for a while!!! The band on tour are explosive. Lots of their new songs such as Zephyr and Can't Stop seem to blind people to their previous masterworks. But this is an awesome collection of some of the best ever. Featuring the ballads Scar Tissue and Otherside, it really is a collateral of colour, (if that makes sense), with some heavier, guitar-pumped tunes like Universally Speaking, ...
...here too, the very interesting and almost out of character Drum Homage Medley, and the Fleas Trumpet Treated track by John. These are a further insight into the progressive artistry and experise of such a great band, proving that even after so many years on the road, these guys are still getting started!! If you like your music dirty, rockin and love guitar ad libs, give this a go Universally Speaking. Riffs, Raff and Funk make this a glorious 2 ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...to visit one of the live shows at which the album was recorded, I was eagerly anticipating the release of album. Right from the off, the Red Hot Chili Peppers showcase their abundance of talent from the superb intro leading on to Can't Stop right until the last track on the disk, which incidentally is a brand new song titled 'Rolling Sly Stone' The second disk didn't let me down either, containing another new song, titles 'leverage of space' and ...
...Away' preformed flawlessly. I honestly could not ask for a better album. I sat in awe from the second I began listened to the CD right until the end of the second disk. You should definitely buy this album; it will be a classic for years to come. 10/10 ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

i got this 2 disk album months ago and i still listen to it regularly. it is packed fulll of their greatest songs from the past, and includeds some brand new songs (newer than that even). you only find yourself skipping about 1 song on each disk. the improvisation by the band is fantastic. frusciante's solos are the kind of solos and guitar playing that make you want to learn guitar. it is all driven by some awsome drum beats by chad and fleas ...
...the bass over the other instruments. however there are a few flaws in the almost perfect album. the intro really starts to go on a bit the second time you listen to it, i feel love is way to short, and flea's trumpet solo was good at the gig but dosent really sound right on the album. 9/10 easily! ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...most of their classic albums, Live in Hyde Park effortlessly hits the spot without too much hard work on the listeners part, showing off just how good the Chilli’s really are. For me the level of their musicianship sent tingles down my spine. I guess it’s pretty obvious from my enthusiasm that I’m a fan anyway but I bet you any money, one listen to this and you will be too. ...

Review of Live In Hyde Park - Red Hot Chili Peppers

...the Red Hot Chili Peppers live in Hyde Park, London in June 2004. It was supported by Chicks on Speed and James Brown, while they were on it rained!! As soon as the Chilis got on stage it was blazing hot sunshine! We were right near the front, it was amazing, i got the best photos ever and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Buying this album twice, one for the car, one for the house proves im a fan! Every time i close my eyes when ...
...hear the chorus of the crowds and go back there once again! I especially love the cover which show Anthony Kiedis' Tattoos!!! So.....if you loved the concert and want to relive it every day then buy this album, full of all their old classics, a great funky album. This is a 2 disc set with newer modern stuff too. One awesome album :-) ...
