Amazon.co.uk Review
Taken from their mammoth shows in June 2004, ILive in Hyde Park/I captures the Red Hot Chili Peppers at their very best. The scene was set by changeable weather, the Godfather of Soul, James Brown and Chicks on Speed being unfairly jeered off the stage.pHeralded by a tense intro, the funky, fists-in-the-air sound of "Can't Stop" cutting through the ether is one of those moments that make live albums so compelling for those who were there Iand/I those who weren't. The Peppers go on to play through 2 CDs' worth of favourites from IBy the Way/I and ICalifornication/I plus newer material such as "Fortune Faded", "Rolling Sly Stone" and "Leverage of Space". pIt's difficult to pick highlights, as the level of musicianship from the four was high as ever but unexpected, quirky numbers such as John and Flea's rendition of Donna Summer's "I Feel Love" stand out as memorable euphoric moments. Sadly, the only pre-ICalifornication/I songs were old favourites "Under the Bridge" and "Give it Away", both sounding fresh despite being 13 years old.pILive in Hyde Park/I is definitely a worthy addition to any record collection. It's amazing that a band in their third decade of success can release theirfull debut live album, but the Chili Peppers prove that they've still got it (now, more than ever) and will be around for a very long time to come. --IDavid Trueman/I

 PLAY THIS ONE LOUDER THAN LOUD!!!! July 25, 2004

I first saw the Chili's in Glasgow, day after the Slane Castle gig. I bought the Slane Castle DVD and still get shivers down my spine when I watch it. This year, I was at the Manchester City Stadium show (18th June) and couldn't bring myself to listen to the radio broadcast on the 20th... Why? Cos it was happening in real-time and I wasn't there. This cd will be for this years show, what the Slane DVD still does for me now. The Chili's are at their best Live, and the magic and chemistry among them is almost touching. If you're only going to buy 1 record this year, make it this one. The instrumentals are beautiful, the songs are timeless, and it's got the worlds 2 greatest guitarists, John and Flea. This won't leave my cd player for months. (ps: buy John's solo stuff, including Smiles....)

If you were there at Hyde Park on any of the 3 nights they played there, you don't need to read any further. Just go buy the album.br Simply put, the album in all its glory is the complete masterpiece of their finest works. Truth be told, the studio works of their songs does not do them any justice what so ever. In this album we can finally listen to the amazing bass playing ability of Flea.br When you listen to it carefully you may even agree that he eclipsed the other 3 musicians outright. That is not to say that chad, anthony or john were bad. No, in fact far from it. John was clearly putting all of his might in every song, and chad never missed a beat. Anthony has moved away from his monotonous self years ago, and is now an acomplished vocalist in everyway. However, that having been said, Flea is clearly the best bass guitarist the world will ever see for a long time to come.br "Around the World", "By the Way", "Otherside", "My Lovely Man", "Californication" and "Under the Bridge" were all fantastic. But what makes this album so impressive is the jamming in between. "Californication" will never sound the same way again without its obligatory minute and a half intro.br "Too much" you say? "Not enough" say I. The harmony between these four musicians are currently unparalleled. Needless to say, it will take a huge effort for any band to out do their performance at Hyde Park.

I know little of guitars but i know my music in genral and the intro through to the first minute of around the world is Mozart like, in its brilliance. The way the guitar solo builds up to cant stop, then the guitar solo to around the world sent tingles through me and still does. Play cant stop from the fourth minute through to around the world first 30 seconds to get a release of adrenaline trust me.
Forget Greatest Hits - *this* is the definitive Chilis August 8, 2005

After the rather disappointing treatment of a fifteen-year career in the music industry on their Greatest Hits compilation (how could the greatest band on the planet be limited to the grave injustice of a single disc?), the Red Hot Chili Peppers' Hyde Park concerts for which tickets were coverted as gold dust comes to CD for those as unfortunate as myself who weren't there in person. pWell, it turns out that with this, we didn't need to be. The atmosphere seeps through every word of Anthony Kiedis' raw vocals, infusing the set with an infectiousness that you can't help but turn up to full volume and jump around the room to. Fuelled by this enthusiasm, the band produce versions of all their greatest hits that outclass even their studio cuts (which can all certainly lay claim to being amongst the 50 greatest albums ever), including a 12-minute version of the classic Give It Away and previously neglected album gems such as Throw Away Your Television. Add to this covers of classics such as Black Cross, Brandy and Donna Summer's 80s hit I Feel Love, and Anthony's tongue-in-cheek comments at the end of every track - covering topics ranging from blueberries to James Brown - and you have an album that outclasses any festival. There is one notable absence - that being the Stevie Wonder cover Higher Ground, which can lay claim to the best intro in music - but if you want the Chilis in all their glory, bypass Greatest Hits and pick this up instead.
Review of the CD, NOT THE GIG! July 24, 2004
10 out of 13 found this review helpful
Unlike some, I'm actually reviewing the CD, which is excellent, especially the cover songs. I always love it when my favorite bands cover interesting songs.pThe range of tracks is wide, and the sound quality is amazing. So, no matter what some reviewers have said, buy this CD, because you're not buying the concert!
