The Californication Tour was a worldwide concert tour by Red Hot Chili Peppers to support their seventh studio album Californication which saw the return of guitarist John Frusciante who rejoined the band in 1998 after quitting six years earlier.
A DVD documenting the tour titled Off the Map, which was made up of footage from different shows, was released in 2001.
Overview
The Californication Tour was the band's biggest to date and most successful helping breaking them through to an even wider audience and seeing their supporting album achieve their largest world-wide sales. The anticipation for the tour was very high due to the recent return of Frusciante the previous year. The tour started in May 1999, Red Hot with a promotional tour also known as the "Stop the Hate" Tour. These concerts were only for high school students that wrote an essay on how to stop violence in schools. The world tour featured a large mixture of music from the band's entire catalog including although the band's previous album, 1995's One Hot Minute was only represented with Flea's song, "Pea" and nothing from that album other than that song has been performed since 1997. Frusciante at the time claimed to have never heard the album and listening to it would be like seeing your girlfriend with another man. The tour featured a heavy dose of the Californication album and twelve years later, all of the albums songs except for "Porcelain" have been performed live. The tour saw the band headline Woodstock '99 although a lot of controversy came following their set due to the band's performance of the Jimi Hendrix classic, "Fire" (a request made by Hendrix's sister) which some in the media said helped instigate riots in the crowd and bonfires being lit although the band at the time had no knowledge of the chaos about to breakout and claimed if they did, the song would not have been performed.[1]
This tour marked the last time "Backwoods", "Green Heaven", "Mommy, Where's Daddy?", "Organic Anti-Beat Box Band" and "Subterranean Homesick Blues" have been performed live.
