Red Hot Chili Peppers - Off the Map (2001)

A Great Compliment to Slane Castle

This was pretty much what I expected, having seen them on this tour. The quality and presentation aren't quite as nice as Live at Slane Castle but the older and more diverse setlist definitely makes up for it. It's actually very representative of that tour in that the performance and production are a little sloppier and less perfect (in a good way) and there are only a handful of songs that appear on both dvds. A must-have for longtime fans, maybe not so much for the "I only like their new stuff" types. April 11, 2007

Definitely Cali - Fornicate

This DVD is for everyone who liked Californication.The songs, although are from a mix of their previous albums,have an edge in their performance as they are touring & promoting for the same.As always they make you laugh as they perform, but the most unusual feature in this DVD was the lyrics as subtitles & I was not aware of it when I bought it.Its the first time I came across such a feature in a live performance DVD.As for the performance it met my expectations & was worth it.

Sorry folks...no way the best!!

All I have to say is I guess most of you have never seen "Psychedelic Sexfunk Live from Heaven"!!! If you had there's NO WAY you could give this 5 stars.
Of course that's hard to do when IT'S NOT ON DVD!!! What's up with that Peppers?!?!? THAT is raw, live Peppers!!! Those of you that haven't seen it need to break down and buy the VHS (available used here on Amazon) and help me lobby the Peppers to release it, along with the Positive Mental Octopus video collection. In fact they could take a lesson from their early 90's competition Faith No More and release them together as a low-priced double DVD!!!
Not to say there's really anything wrong with this DVD, I like all Peppers, but the "Mothers Milk" CD remains my favorite and, after all, Sex Funk IS filmed on the Mothers Milk tour in their home town (which greatly adds to the overall atmosphere) and also has back stage footage.
Bottom line...if you are a fan, buy this, just remember it's not the best visual record of the Peppers!!!!!!

out of this world

The chili's rocked harder than ever on their Californication tour, which this DVD supports. The set-list is excellent as it feautres some of their memorable songs from the 80's as well as a good mix of songs from their newest albums. Features Sir psycho sexy' as a bonus track and special features are very good also, featuring backstage interviews and footage. Also features a short version of John's 'Usually Just a T-shirt #3' as a lead in to Scar Tissue. A good buy, well worth the money. Its cheaper than a concert ticket and you can watch it over and over again in the comfort of your home. November 11, 2006

OFF THE MAP

Well, I bought this on amazon a month ago and it arrived fairly quickly. I watched it and it is very good. Although it shouldn't be compared to Slane. It is the chilis in a very "raw" state, compared to slane, where everything is perfect, from the vocals, to the camera views and such. I recommend this to anyone who really is a fan, not so much to the casual listener. If you want to see a "perfect", buy not completely authentic get slane, buy if you want an example of the real chilis, then off the map should be in your hands. March 24, 2006
