The 2003 performance at Slane Castle I think is a great example of when a band transcends into another realm while performing. Everything about that concert was just perfect. No wrong could be done and everyone was on point.
I'm not knocking it as it's one of if not my #1 favorite live DVD, but there is some tricky editing and enhancing and auto-tune on Anthony's voice, and perhaps some punch-ins for the DVD that weren't actually played live. Yes they were on point, yes it was other-worldly how awesome it was, but don't be naive to think it was COMPLETELY organic. Everyone "dolls up" for lack up a better term, their official DVD releases.
I honestly feel like Frusciante doesn't get enough credit for his backup singing. He is a great guitarist over everything of course, but I feel his backup singing is such a huge part of the signature sound of RHCP. It is definitely one of the main things I miss in albums where is is absent.
its an american... they believe that new york is their capital city too... without fresh blood from asia, europe or south america they would live again on trees...^^
I think it gets overlooked just HOW FREAKING GOOD John's harmonizing with Anthony and backing vocals are. It became such a key element to the band's sonic quality on this record and really peaked on the By The Way album, imo.
Personally... Hes a better singer than Anthony. John is truly not of this world. And Stadium Arcadium was Johns album. He reminded everyone who the best talented musician was in the band.
@@lraiolo I think it's fair to say Anthony is not a very good singer, but a phenomenal performer and frontman. John's definitely got the better voice and ear for harmonies and melodies.
I dont think he is underated at all. Anyone that has ever picked up a guitar loves frusciante. He is my favourite guitarist, in fact the reason i got my first guitar. Even if other guitarists dont love him as much as i do, everyone has so much respect for how good he is. So happy he is back with rhcp
Love to see some Frusciante here. Of all the rock guitarists, he's the one that I connect with on the deepest level. If you haven't yet, you should definitely checkout out all of his solo work. The Empyrean is a good place to start.
@@ReactarooSkidoo I couldn't possibly pick favorites, but Shadows Collide with People is the first solo work of his I heard way back when, so it's a very special one for me.
Really enjoy you pausing to explain the theory of different segments, I've struggled to fully grasp theory but seeing you explain it through example really helps
Holy crap. I went through a chili's kick about a week ago and thought "man, I'd love to see Michael Palmisano react to Calofornication from Slane!" You read my mind man! Deeply appreciated!
I was about 15 when I got this DVD, I had been just getting into RHCP, I immediately got my first guitar after that show. I'm 31 now and I still keep getting goosebumps when I see this concert. John coming back to the band is just a dream come true.
I usually hate these "whatever teacher reacts to", but you didn't sound like a guy just fanboying about the video, you actually play and explain it, and I ALWAYS wanted to understand that solo. Me and my friend love playing this and extending the solo jam, and I tend to change keys after I finish frusciante's solo
John Fruschiante at Slane is my favorite all time performance by a guitarist. Would love to see you react to other songs from this concert, John was on a different level this night. So many insane solos straight from the soul.
Michael you forgot to mention that bar of 6/8 or 3/4 they did in their improv Very smart way of doing it.. The ability John has to recognize flea is playing in groups of three and then plays a bar of 6/8 or 3/4 and then back to 4/4 SO AMAZING!
The part that follows Throw Away Your Television is the unparalleled highlight of this show hands down. John's a damn superhero with the castle in the background.
RHCP at Slane Castle is the greatest musical performance of all time. Something about this show just makes it seem like it isn't on Earth but some fantastical rock and roll kingdom
And yet it was on earth and i somehow got to be there to witness it as a 13 year old. It was incredible. I'm so grateful i got to experience it and experience them at their absolute peak. So glad Frusciante is back with them now. Honestly cried with happiness when they announced that.
You should check out the live version of “Don’t forget me” with Frusciante his rhythm and timing and the feel, atmosphere, color and texture he adds with effects is so mesmerizing!
What I love about Frusciante and a lot of these reacts videos is that; for most of them they are in the ZONE with their playing. They're not thinking of theory but they're using it, they've basically internalized it so well that they're just in a flow state. You nail it with it's not crazy scales, crazy technique etc it's just about connection and grooves.
This was my first ever concert. I was 13, I'm in the DVD at the front as a kid and let me tell you, a memory I'll cherish forever. Good standard to set. There was a lot I remember they cut from the DVD, anyone wants to know anything feel free to ask!
gilerme nope. What you see on the dvd was exactly how it happened, with the exceptions of a few left out parts. They took a fairly long break from what I remember and Fruciante stayed out and played on his own. Maybe ten mins. The whole day was incredible, there was only one stage and the line up before them was PJ Harvey, then Queens of the Stone Age (Songs For The Deaf had just released, full classic line up there including Mark Lanegan), then Foo Fighters (All My Life was released earlier in the year and huge here in Ireland) and the Chilis came on at sunset. There were a lot of moments where the crowd was dancing and going crazy, and just stopped dead in awe at moments like the Flea/John improv. 80,000 people. Very special show, and even now when I’ve seen all the greats I’ve been able to, it still stands out.
I’ve learned this entire intro from tab and it’s the way John plays its live. Starts 3 5 3 low e, so I’m mind blown how you played it completely different
“Hey, audience. You’re now clapping on 2 & 4, and ya didn’t even know it.” Good catch, Michael. I went to see RHCP in like ‘92 or so at a smallish venue, and the opening bands were Smashing Pumpkins and Pearl Jam.
I know the song since 2007, when i heard it for the first time in a Scouts camp and I fell in love with it. I started playing guitar because of this song. I learned to play drumms because of this song. I attempted to play bass because of this song. I became interested in vocal singing because of this song. I fell in love with music because of it. I can play this song on every instrument that is present in the original release. I think I listened to it for thousands of times and the whole Slane Castle performance for hundreds of times, but just now I feel like I really understand the wholesome of the song. Thanks for disecting it! You are awesome!
Absolute master performers. That intro is chilling. Great shirt too lol. U are also the final nail in the coffin that has made me buy a PRS so congratulations 👏 haha
was hooked from the first vulfpeck REACT video, becoming one of my favorite channels! I mean hearing John/Flea sync up with the crowd clapping at the start is something I would never hear, so awesome.
The genius thing about the solo is that John picks up on the theme he set in the intro jam. Listen to the beginning of the intro and the solo. This performance is a masterpiece.
I liked that you discussed his vocals. Something people tend to skip over unless they're really into his work. His vocal harmonies are often the most compelling thing about chili peppers songs IMO. The best vocal work is on his solo records.
It is, in my opinion that, The Red Hot Chili Pepper must tour hard in The United States when possible, after what we have, and are currently experiencing. We need their loud resounding relief.
One of the things to remember is that Frusciante improvs most of his live solos. If you listen to other live recordings such as the Live at Hyde Park album, you'll hear certain phrasing is the same but for the most part the solos and fills will be improvised. It's pretty wild! Frusciante is also a big fan of dissonance even going so far as doubling up his guitar slightly out of tune on album Stadium Arcadium. His chops allow him to really be about the "Feel".
He does variants every time - would love to see you cover a compilation of his Californiation solos and the ways he keeps the song alive after playing it over and over on tour lol
Their verse rhythm on Charlie is the best. Flea playing in 4/4 with chads drums moving along with the bass, then over the top Johns funky guitar playing in 3/4.
Thanks so much for doing this inch by inch, your so good at explaining even tho my music theory is basic,(triads, chord tones,5th,sus6th 9,diminish,pentatonic)thought it would be hard in terms of techque but chili peppers each of them is just so solid ,clean sounding and their musicality is different level❤️❤️..i was college when i decided to shift from guitar to bass becoz i fell inlove with flea and his deadflat tone of bass here😍
Just cause it blows your mind, doesn't mean you have to blow ours! Your music theory and note knowledge blows my mind and i've been performing for 35 years. Kudos to you...makes me miss my music grad classes!
Your a bad ass man! Love the feel of this video. I’m way too far gone to relearn now. Been playing only what I see from tab or videos no music theory 1 5th flat seven over my head man. Why would the man upstairs give me the ability to play and not hear it...crazy. Loved it man !!
I personally enjoy the deeper into the weeds you venture. I’m on a serious pursuit of how notes, both individually and in chordal structure relate to each other both theoretically and musically.
One of my favourite DVD concerts! Btw, this one is great but in my opinion another cool Californication intro is Permutation (live @Montreal 2006). It was released as a B side of Snow (Hey Oh)
Michael, please refer tonthe rhcp live jam called Permutation for another great example of the up/ down interplay between John and Flea. It's a B side off the Stadium Arcadium record, i believe. Great video, thank you.
very cool harmonic move on the bridge -- what they did is go from the key of Am/C, to the key of F#m/A (after playing a Dm), so in other words, they went to the relative minor chord (F#m) as if the song was in Amaj the whole time, a very interesting harmonic development that I had never properly analyzed -- that's why when they splash back into Am, the Bm,D,A,E acts as a pivot dominant chord because the E chord then leads back to Am (which is actually a moment of harmonic minor although Frusciante doesn't play the G# he could've)
To play like John did live right there, you have to let go of all uncertainties, self consciousness, and let your soul play with sounds....basically let the spirits take over 😳 love the video
There's a 16 year old me in that crowd losing my absolute shit, what a great day that was!

there is no such thing as an "AmSus4" because suspended chords are unique, they dont have major and minor tonality.

Your going to have over a million real soon buddy! Best channel on the toob
very cool harmonic move on the bridge -- what they did is go from the key of Am/C, to the key of F#m/A (after playing a Dm), so in other words, they went to the relative minor chord (F#m) as if the song was in Amaj the whole time, a very interesting harmonic development that I had never properly analyzed -- that's why when they splash back into Am, the Bm,D,A,E acts as a pivot dominant chord because the E chord then leads back to Am (which is actually a moment of harmonic minor although Frusciante doesn't play the G# he could've)
To play like John did live right there, you have to let go of all uncertainties, self consciousness, and let your soul play with sounds....basically let the spirits take over 😳 love the video
Your guitar has the most beautiful color I've ever seen
Coming back to the Slane Castle show after 7 years now that I’ve learnt how to actually play the guitar. It’s time to go back to school 🎸
