Details: Product Description Off the Map is the first concert home video since 1991 from one of rock's greatest live experiences, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Off the Map is also the band's first concert DVD--the only way to witness the funk-funk-rockmetal-rap musical orgy of one of today's most popular bands. Songs: Around The World, Give It Away, Usually Just a T-Shirt #3, Scar Tissue, Suck My Kiss, If You Have to Ask, Subterranean Homesick Blues, Otherside, Blackeyed Blonde, Pea, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, Easily, What Is Soul?, Fire, Californication, Right On Time, Under The Bridge, Me And My Friends. Amazon.ca The continued survival and huge commercial success of the Red Hot Chili Peppers may come as a surprise to some, but Off the Map finds them in fine form. Recorded live on the last night of their all-conquering Californication world tour, the set veers from the Funkadelic-influenced rock that made their name to the more mature, thoughtful side that has always underpinned their work. Thus "Suck My Kiss," "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," "Right on Time," and "Me and My Friends" are all franticly funky, but the band is far more effective on the elegant sweep of "Californication," "Scar Tissue," and the classic "Under the Bridge." Despite their advancing years, the Chilis still ensure a high level of performance--the visuals are a mass of swirling limbs and instruments, while the crystal-clear sound is dominated by Flea's pulsating bass. --Phil Udell Special Features Given their previous reputation for a hard-living lifestyle, the Red Hot Chili Peppers we see presented in the DVD's extra backstage footage--sipping herbal tea, practicing yoga, and talking about their kids--are a far cry from their public image. As with any concert-material extras (plus post-tour interviews), there is a tendency to slip into Spinal Tap mode, particularly with singer Anthony Keidis, but the four come across as eminently likeable. The five extra music tracks include a searing version of the Stooges' "Search & Destroy," but best of all is the subtitles option--giving us the opportunity to figure out just what Keidis has been singing about all these years. It's not a pretty sight! --Phil Udell
