I just watched 20 versions of this intro live. I'm a guitar teacher and I wanted to check if John was bending from the 11th or 10th fret (I've seen both on tabs). All of the live videos so far just showed the band jumping around, but none showed John's guitar playing apart from this one for a split second. Watched in slo mo, paused and checked... it's the 11th fret. The things I do for my students
@@spacemonkey4811 John would NOT make up for 3 musicians who couldn't keep up with him. It would suck, and it would all fall apart, no matter how great John is.
perhaps, one of the best LIVE performances of "Give it Away" that the RHCP ever did! Brilliant film capture as well to really add to the visual experience of this great song.
every time i listen to any live video of give it away, i always get knocked out. maybe one of the best intro ever in rock n roll history. feels like im riding a roller coaster
Sorry about that, i was actually working with the camera crews there that night and i gave them some coke. Some of them were new to the drug and couldn't stop shaking
The live versions are much, much better than the studio version. :))) Just did earlier today. I'm guessing you like the Slane Castle version because it has a very wild, raw, edgy side? :D I like this version most because, yes it's live, but it's soo powerful, yet clean, and efficient. To illustrate: The Slane Castle version is like listening to the ocean, whilst the Rock AM Ring is like listening to a powerful water pump.
wow this guys! people who were born for each other....next level of musical conexion...not even necessary to talk about their talent, actually i have no more wors for that....just love for RHCP best band ever, no doubt
Researchers found that, when a guitarist shreds, he or she temporarily deactivates the brain region that routinely shuts down when achieving big-picture goals, signalling a shift from conscious to unconscious thought. That is what John does with solos and outros and blows our minds!
very true, i realized this just yesterday and a load has fallen of my shoulders. Getting i better musician is important, but the most important thing is just jamming and having fun.
another reason this particular performance sounds a lot more ballsy is that John is using a tele instead of his usual strat..he's good enough with the strat, but a strat's tone is a bit too neat and neutered compared to the tele's, it's more...untamed
His riffs were fcking ouzstanding and filled with so much rough power and feeling. Sure - he wasnt technical at all - but he really expressed himself in music - unlike show off guys like slash.

Steady drums, groovy bass line, monstrous guitars, and an awesome lead singer are the reasons why RHCP is the best rock band ever.
And no one can tell otherwise
SO TRUU
Good call
The voice was bad - he was sick. The end of the song is incredible!!
except Anthony can't sing

Personally, I prefer bending the 10th fret a full step. Just sounds 'fuller' to me.
Give them the plaisir to hear Alcatraz and Slane Castle version dude
can't you use talent and figure that out by ear?
@@cl8804 The problem is you can use either fret and make it sound the same
@@nylophone5730 i see; thank you for abating and entertaining my ignorance, respecc
it begg the question, though: what f difference it make, then?
The variations that John plays from the 2:12 are fucking magical, what a genius!
Antonio Contreras Sweet jesus thanks for pointing that out. 🥰🥰🥰
nobody talks about that :(
Exactly! Outstanding
The sound quality and the reverb of everything is just so strong in this version!!
It's fuckin awesome!
such a huge sound for so few musicians
When one of them is the greatest guitarist alive, it's not such a stretch...
@@spacemonkey4811 and basist
@@spacemonkey4811 John would NOT make up for 3 musicians who couldn't keep up with him. It would suck, and it would all fall apart, no matter how great John is.
Big musicians wow yeah man hot chilli peppers
@Traian Craciun Came to say exactly this. Techniques like these make playing like John so much more difficult than it first appears.
with John, this band sounds huge!
Stanger182 smart 😎👍 100% agreed✨
With anthony,chad,john,flea
This has to be the BEST chillis outro I've ever heard. Frusciante is just, just.....
your name gives the chills
Give ir away bbc live
that ones gr8 also
anthony sings with so much ENERGY!!!!!!!!!
Yeah! It sounds so so so powerful that it could have been their live record instead of Slane.
Anthony's face at 02:58: "HOLY SHIT! THAT SOLO!!!"
That outro, the sound from that Tele, the feedback sustain and that bend just before the end, John makes a guitar speak!
WTF?! That tele sound brutal! Better than his strat by a ton! Fucking beast
completely agree, i think he should use a tele every single time they play give it away
perhaps, one of the best LIVE performances of "Give it Away" that the RHCP ever did!
Brilliant film capture as well to really add to the visual experience of this great song.
Уникальнейшее звучание!!! Шикарно!!! Всю жизнь слушаю, ни как не наслушаюсь!
feel so sorry for chad at the end lol when john's doing this massive solo for ages and chad's just has to keep going crazy for a million years
But how many times has he probably done that before? He never looks likes he's not having fun playing.
Impossible. This is what we call music.
Been a Peppers fan since December...
Love them so much :)
every time i listen to any live video of give it away, i always get knocked out. maybe one of the best intro ever in rock n roll history. feels like im riding a roller coaster
This version of "Give it away" sounds... FIERCE!!! John solos are powerful and Flea "ODB-3 pedal distorded bass" in the back is massive!!!
Thae chemistry bw chad flea nd john!!!!! just amazing
What the hell's wrong with those cameras, calm down!!!
I would be happy with just one camera, focusing entirely on john, the whole show.
HANDBANGING
PFelixO They can't help but give it away too. :))
Ahahaha
Sorry about that, i was actually working with the camera crews there that night and i gave them some coke. Some of them were new to the drug and couldn't stop shaking
John is back!!!!!
Thank god someone had shared this video... so much memories and such a good gig.... love for all❤️
John's first solo tho. Magical.
It has hints of the Slane intro
Best performance "Give It Away" in this. claps.
Frusciante Rulessss!!!!!!!!!!!
Wtf it's like there's no camera view that even lasted for 10 seconds
LethoThings barely even 3 seconds 🤣
I think it perfectly fits the performance/ song
@@smoothcriminal8168 Not if you want to get any feeling fo rwhat any one of them is doing.
@@smoothcriminal8168 Agreed. It captures the manic energy of the groove, rhythm, and lyrics.
6:44
Flea- "You win this time John -___-
John: HAHAHA!
Chad: I'm still going fool!
That's some crazy energy right there 🔥🔥
Never thought in my life that a cameraman can be a part of the band
Best rock funk attack song ever. No competition.
3:34 - 3:55 john lets u touch the sky for 11 seconds, just beautiful
John is TNT!
holy fuck that outro
OMG Telecaster!
Matilda singing xD
We got Matilda on vocals, Eminem on guitar, a young David Letterman on bass and of course Will Ferrel on drums..
Jake Dobransky EPIC
Jake Dobransky i would say Will Ferrell on drums, Wayne Rooney on bass, Steve Nash on vocals and Jesus on guitar...
+Jake Dobransky Pffffffhahahah spot on
@@phillipdeboul Eden Hazard on guitar!
This is the best version of "Give It Away" they played imvho.
Check out the Slane castle version. IMO it's better than the studio version

The outro on this version just takes it to another level. Better than Slane. John is absolutely incredible
Give it away in milan (2006) guys :)
Slane Castle >>> All
Have always loved the “Sweet Leaf,” tease they do at the end, but it hits *HARD* in this version
At 2:53 my face melted.
Buildup to the final solo on Dani California
That was an epic finale. Chad looked like he was gonna have a heart attack if John kept it up much longer :-P
everytime i listen to this song i feel like dancing like crazy.it makes me happy!
07:09 I got major goosebumps
Every time that i hear this version of Give It Away, i want to JUMP AND JUMP
cant.....resist the funk....the groove....damn.....*starts dancing like they do in the music video*
What the fuck John did at 1:52???? This solo looked so magic, like an explosive feeling, harder u try, u cant describe in words, just feel.
I think you meant 2:52, it was fucking insane
+Devon Austin No dude, it was 1:52, that first solo was awesome, the second was good too,but the first was something magical.
pure awesomeness, i got no words to describe my feelings.. John
Holy shit I just got goosebumps. Amazing performance and kick ass song
that tele sounds so fucking raw
Such a tasty tune
one of my favs!
last part is specially dedicated for drunk people to hear those noises in their head for a few days after this live gig :)
Incredible is an understatement!
it beautiful. Thanks
6:45 Flea surrenders to John and its just epic! So fuckin dope man!
wow this guys! people who were born for each other....next level of musical conexion...not even necessary to talk about their talent, actually i have no more wors for that....just love for RHCP best band ever, no doubt

Woa, give it away on the tele
eargasm at the end!
I LOVE how almost every band that performs live at rock AM rink always has that special echo sound!
God bless John Frusciante.
Come Back with Peppers..
He just came
@@rafaelbelem3471 and so did i
God look your coment, he is back!
@@sulezraz 😂😂
sulezraz lol didn’t we all😂😂
so much fun music, best band ever
very true, i realized this just yesterday and a load has fallen of my shoulders. Getting i better musician is important, but the most important thing is just jamming and having fun.
This is EPIC!!!! LIKE
Frusciante is out of his mind in this one
what a god.
John Motherfucking Frusciaantee!!!
John looks perfect everytime. even with this blue suit ;D
John amazing guitar solo.
John's telecaster is so damn gorgeous.
On guitar God himself
テレキャスいい音！
Josh is good but he can't play the intro to this song, its sounds so weak when he does it. John is just in your face!
Because Josh is running that weak fender amp and all that. John had three Marshall full stacks!
another reason this particular performance sounds a lot more ballsy is that John is using a tele instead of his usual strat..he's good enough with the strat, but a strat's tone is a bit too neat and neutered compared to the tele's, it's more...untamed
retroguy02 yeah thats true! I have a tele and it has a much rawer edge to it compared to the strat.
Art Vandelay nice words 😎👍✨
Even his one-note solo is awesome
epic camera moves!!!
best band evaaaaaaaa :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Crazy song, crazy video !!!!!!!!!!
oh man this is a great version.. best fuckin band ever
I click on the video because I saw John's guitar on the thumbnail.... totally worth it.
anthonys voice is just amazing
The best ever version
the best fuckin' outro jam i have ever heard....goosebumps!
the best live
That ending jam is FUCKING CRAZY.
02:53 John Frusciante going Super Saiyan 6 blewing Kiedis's head off (look at his expression seeing John)
Awsome Sound :O
ES FABULOSO
DAT intro tho
john really love abusing his guitar
존프루시안테 행복했으면 좋겠어 평생😊
I love when the song is done and the video is only like halfway done..only rhcp
John the best !!!
I used to think teles were for chumps. But I find I can reach more crazy tones, but the body just looks to weak, johns made me change my mind
uaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!! Adoooorooooo!!!!!
That Solo at 1:52 😱😱😱
Telecaster!!!
short hair john is soo goood
Camera makes it even more hyped
How can anyone dislike this? :O

Godlike
Woooooooooooow 😍❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
some guy sent me here for an example of how to make a telecaster sound like a beast.. didn't dissapoint
FUUUUUCKING EARGAAAAAAAASM"!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday John
