Red Hot Chili Peppers, Unplugged
Fans could not help but notice how the instruments of the Red Hot Chili Peppers looked unplugged at Super Bowl XLVIII. Flea confirmed all the speculation that the band was aware that they only had to provide live vocals because everything else was going to be pre-recorded. He wrote a letter to fans to discuss this. “I understand the NFL’s stance on this, given they only have a few minutes to set up the stage, there a zillion things that could go wrong and ruin the sound for the folks watching in the stadium and the TV viewers,” he said. Flea said that they would be willing to play the same gig in the same way again in the future.
