RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS is sweeping the world with the “GLOBAL STADIUM Tour” for the first time in 15 years for the returning John Frusciante. The latest pro shot is here.
This work was filmed at “Welftel performance on June 30, 2023”. It is a multi-camera pro shot when performing at the summer festival “ROCK WERCHTER” representing Belgium. Speaking of the full pro shot of the “GLOBAL STADIUM Tour”, this is the third work following the first report “AUSTIN CITY LIMITS 2022 (Uxbridge 1762)” and the recently released “PINKPOP 2023 (Uxbridge 1950)”. . First, let’s check the positional relationship of each from the overall image of the “GLOBAL STADIUM Tour”.

This is the schedule for 2022/2023 that has been announced so far. It took eight months from “AUSTIN CITY LIMITS 2022” to the previous work “PINKPOP 2023”, but this time it was the third release in just 12 days.
The quality of this work is completely official, comparable to the previous work. In the past, each country had its own peculiarities in camera work and quality, but in recent years, when summer festivals have become commonplace, the level of each country has improved. Belgian broadcasting has evolved to the point where it can compete with Germany and England. Moreover, this work is a DVD made from the highest peak master.
In terms of quality, it is very similar to the previous work “PINKPOP 2023”, but the content of the show is quite different. Let’s organize them by comparing them here.
●After returning to Frusciante
・UNLIMITED LOVE: Aquatic Mouth Dance/Black Summer
・RETURN OF THE DREAM CANTEEN: The Drummer (★) / Tippa My Tongue (★)
● Classics, etc.
・CALIFORNICATION: Parallel Universe (★)/Right on Time/Californication
・BY THE WAY: Can’t Stop / The Zephyr Song (★) / By the Way
・Others: Under The Bridge/Give It Away/Tiny Dancer (★)/Soul to Squeeze/Dani California/Tell Me Baby (★)
* Note: “★” marks are songs that were not seen in the previous work “PINKPOP 2023”.
… and it looks like this. “Parallel Universe,” “The Zephyr Song,” and “Tell Me Baby,” which are also daily staples (?), were featured, and new songs such as “Tippa My Tongue” and “The Drummer,” which were also performed in Japan, were also performed. Such a repertoire is a song that was not seen in “AUSTIN CITY LIMITS 2022”, and it is a pretty delicious selection. Among them, Elton John’s cover “Tiny Dancer”, which is shown as Frusciante’s solo, is particularly rare. I don’t know if the farewell tour paid tribute to Elton, who has a highlight, but it is the first time in 16 years that it will be played as RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS.
This is the third full pro shot, and the latest work that will entertain you with an even more diverse repertoire. An absolute video that is indispensable to talk about “RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS in 2023” along with “PINKPOP 2023”. Please enjoy this week as well.
★ Multi-camera pro shot of “June 30, 2023 ROCK WERCHTER”. The quality of the DVD made from the best master is official grade, and it is wonderful to be close to the previous work “PINKPOP 2023”. Elton John’s cover “Tiny Dancer”, which was shown for the first time in 16 years, and the new songs “Tippa My Tongue” and “The Drummer”.
