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.
Description of Red Hot Chili Peppers - Off the Map:
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
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Off the Map Reviews:
A Great Compliment to Slane Castle 
2007-04-11 - This was pretty much what I expected, having seen them on this tour. The quality and presentation aren't quite as nice as Live at Slane Castle but the older and more diverse setlist definitely makes up for it. It's actually very representative of that tour in that the performance and production are a little sloppier and less perfect (in a good way) and there are only a handful of songs that appear on both dvds. A must-have for longtime fans, maybe not so much for the "I only like their new stuff" types.
Definitely Cali - Fornicate
2007-03-15 - This DVD is for everyone who liked Californication.The songs, although are from a mix of their previous albums,have an edge in their performance as they are touring & promoting for the same.As always they make you laugh as they perform, but the most unusual feature in this DVD was the lyrics as subtitles & I was not aware of it when I bought it.Its the first time I came across such a feature in a live performance DVD.As for the performance it met my expectations & was worth it.
Sorry folks...no way the best!! 
2006-11-17 - All I have to say is I guess most of you have never seen "Psychedelic Sexfunk Live from Heaven"!!! If you had there's NO WAY you could give this 5 stars.
Of course that's hard to do when IT'S NOT ON DVD!!! What's up with that Peppers?!?!? THAT is raw, live Peppers!!! Those of you that haven't seen it need to break down and buy the VHS (available used here on Amazon) and help me lobby the Peppers to release it, along with the Positive Mental Octopus video collection. In fact they could take a lesson from their early 90's competition Faith No More and release them together as a low-priced double DVD!!!
Not to say there's really anything wrong with this DVD, I like all Peppers, but the "Mothers Milk" CD remains my favorite and, after all, Sex Funk IS filmed on the Mothers Milk tour in their home town (which greatly adds to the overall atmosphere) and also has back stage footage.
Bottom line...if you are a fan, buy this, just remember it's not the best visual record of the Peppers!!!!!!
out of this world 
2006-11-11 - The chili's rocked harder than ever on their Californication tour, which this DVD supports. The set-list is excellent as it feautres some of their memorable songs from the 80's as well as a good mix of songs from their newest albums. Features Sir psycho sexy' as a bonus track and special features are very good also, featuring backstage interviews and footage. Also features a short version of John's 'Usually Just a T-shirt #3' as a lead in to Scar Tissue. A good buy, well worth the money. Its cheaper than a concert ticket and you can watch it over and over again in the comfort of your home.
OFF THE MAP
2006-03-24 - Well, I bought this on amazon a month ago and it arrived fairly quickly. I watched it and it is very good. Although it shouldn't be compared to Slane. It is the chilis in a very "raw" state, compared to slane, where everything is perfect, from the vocals, to the camera views and such. I recommend this to anyone who really is a fan, not so much to the casual listener. If you want to see a "perfect", buy not completely authentic get slane, buy if you want an example of the real chilis, then off the map should be in your hands.
