Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Transmission Impossible (3CD)
- THREE SUPERB FM BROADCASTS FROM JAPAN 1990, USA 1991 & EUROPE 1995
The most formidable of contemporary rock groups, the Red Hot Chili Peppers
don’t just defy categorisation, they appear to invent theirown with every new
release – and often do likewise within the confines of a live performance.
Indeed, the group’s startling eclecticism
is only surpassed by their lofty talents and astonishing musical catalogue.
This 3 x CD set features a selection of rare FM radio broadcasts recorded
between the end of the 1980s and the middle of the 1990s, when for many the band
were at their absolute pinnacle of achievement. Kicking off with a show recorded
at the famous Ahoy venue in
Rotterdam in 1995, the collection continues in reverse order with a recording
from the equally familiar Pat O’Brien Pavilion in Del Mar, California in
’91. Last up comes a terrific performance from the Chilis given in Kawasaki,
Japan in 1990, which concludes an
extraordinary selection of live performances that provide evidence – if such
were ever required – of the Red Hot Chili Peppers peerless position as the
finest live musical act working today.
