Red Hot Chili Peppers concert chronology

The By the Way World Tour was a worldwide concert tour by American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers to support the band's eighth studio album, By the Way. The band was at a commercial peak, having only been off the road for a short amount of time after touring in support of their 1999, best-selling Californication. The band began writing their next album in early 2001, and released By the Way over a year later, on July 9, 2002.

A DVD documenting a show from the tour, titled Live at Slane Castle, was released in 2003.

Tour overview

The By the Way World Tour was another successful tour for the band behind another chart topping album. The tour unlike previous tour saw the band start to move further away from their earlier '80s songs and place more of a focus on newer stuff with a heavy dose like always of songs from their hit album, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik" however fans were treated to the first performance of "Police Helicopter" since 2000. "Me and My Friends remained a constant staple in the band's setlist and one of the few songs from the '80s they continue to play. To date, eleven of the album's sixteen songs have been performed live including a one time performance of the album's outtake, "Time". Almost every show on the tour started off with the album's title track, which has since become one of the band's most performed live songs rarely being left out of the setlist in the fourteen years since the album and songs release. "Get on Top" and "Purple Stain", two songs from the band's 1999 album, Californication both made their long-awaited live debuts on this tour.

This tour also marked the last time the songs "Cabron", "Fela's Cock", "I Could Die For You", "Minor Thing", "This is the Place", "Time", "Venice Queen", "You Always Sing the Same" and "Warm Tape" were performed live.
