There are 4 songs that were also performed but are not included on this release, "I Like Dirt" and "My Lovely Man" were both performed on June 19, "Maybe" (The Chantels cover) on June 20 and "Mini-Epic (Kill for Your Country)" on June 25. "Mini-Epic" was originally planned for this release, but did not make it into the CD versions, probably [ citation needed] due to delicate issues concerning the theme of the song. However, it was eventually officially released for the first time in 2015 on the Red Hot Chili Peppers' next live album, Cardiff, Wales: 6/23/04. The band run through plenty of the old standards, playing less and less of their old material, unfortunately, taking songs mainly from their most recent two albums, By The Way and Californication. The performances are, as always, top class with each band member on top form. Frusciante, Flea and Smith perform their trademark jams in between most songs and John's solo improvisations always keep within the tone of the song while being wildly original, often differing greatly from the original recordings. Although, Flea does not receive these opportunities, his mid-song nuances are always fun to listen for and Smith's interludes are always nice to break the action up a little.

However, even I recognise that this live document is pushing the limits of tedium at times. Unlike the live DVD Live at Slane Castle, which is an inspired thrill ride of improvised music bleeding into enhanced renditions of some of the Chili's best loved songs, this feels like we are dropping in on the Red Hots on an off day, when something just isn't gelling. It also manages to rattle on for an extra twenty minutes longer than the Slane Castle gig which, sitting at home or standing in a field, is quite a long time.

Of the eight studio albums by the Red Hot Chili Peppers that were released prior to Live in Hyde Park, only three are actually represented in this album's set list – their fifth, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, seventh, Californication, and eighth, By the Way (the single " Fortune Faded", however, was featured solely on the band's Greatest Hits compilation). " Under the Bridge" and " Give It Away" were the only songs from Blood Sugar Sex Magik. The songs "Leverage of Space" and "Rolling Sly Stone" are exclusive to this collection.

The Chilis most recent tour, promoting their Greatest Hits album, climaxed in two performances in Hyde Park (on the 19th and 20th of June I believe), a huge park in the centre of London, to audiences of around 80,000 people. This is the Red Hot Chili Peppers first live album in their career, even though they have been hailed as one of the greatest live bands ever, but will not be released in America.
