Warner Reprise Video
A fly- on- the- wall style documentary on the making
of Blood Sugar Sex Magik.
The group recorded their infamous album in an - allegedly
haunted- villa, far from the maddening crowd, in which they lived
during the whole recording period of three months. The camera
follows them through their rehearsals and recordings as well as
their daily lives. Discussions and soliloquies, from the deeply
philosophical to abandoned sillyness, enrich the footage of the
recording process.If one could only afford one of their videos
this would definitely have to be the one.

Psychedelic Sex Funk Live From Heaven
Released :1990
Directed by Doug Freel
Approximate running time: 40 min.
EMI Music Ltd.
Live concert footage from the Mother's Milk Tour mixed
with entertaining backstage scenes.
Very well edited and powerful stage imagery. Gives one an infectuous
taste of the vibrant energy, the "whiplash effect" (Flea)
of the Peppers live shows. Moreover these scenes illustrate without
words that wonderful band chemistry, which fuels their music and
live gigs.

Not quite as well edited as "Psychedelic.." although
all live footage from Mother's Milk is taken from the same rushes.
Contains some brief backstage scenes as well. Gives an overview

and one of their famous "cocksock" stagings (in Jungle

Review:
Frankly, the quality both of images and sound of the regular
tracks are way below par. Dissapointing.
The special additional tracks (only available on DVD!) are very
good, obviously done by another team, the live versions are
wonderful, and backstage material is funny.
