On September 17, 2017, during their performance at the Meadows Music Festival in New York, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding high following the release of their eleventh studio album, "The Getaway," which came out in June 2016. This album marked a notable shift in their sound, featuring a more polished production and the inclusion of the producer Danger Mouse, which lent the band's eclectic mix an even more refined quality. The setlist from the performance showcased a blend of their classic hits like "Californication" and "Scar Tissue," alongside newer tracks such as "Go Robot" and "Dark Necessities." This concert was part of their ongoing tour supporting "The Getaway," highlighting their consistent popularity and ability to connect with audiences. An interesting fact is that, despite lineup changes over the years, the band maintained a strong identity, particularly with the singer Anthony Kiedis and bassist Flea at the helm, ensuring continuity in their musical journey.
