Title: Good, but not as good as Off the Map
Review: Don't get me wrong, I think Live at Slane Castle is an incredible live DVD. It's just difficult for me, because the Red Hot Chili Peppers are on of my favorite bands... Unfortunately, this one pales in comparison, not due to the performance (which is excellent) but due to the song selection. The oldest songs they play (if you don't count a Ramones cover) are songs from "Blood Sugar Sex Magik." Where's "Fire?" Where's "Me and My Friends?" These and others are Chili Peppers classics, and should be included in place of mediocre at best current songs like "Don't Forget Me," and "Venice Queen." The other strange thing about this DVD is the lack of upbeat songs. They opened with "By the Way," for Christ's sake. I'll end this review by saying that despite the mediocre at best set list, the show is captivating, and incredibly well played. It's excellent by the standard of live DVD's in general, but not great by the standard of RHCP DVDs.
