Live in Hyde Park is the first live album released by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, recorded over three record-breaking nights at Hyde Park, in London on June 19, 20 and 25, 2004 during the band's Roll on the Red Tour. These three concerts became the highest-grossing concerts at a single venue in history. This double album compiled from these three shows went straight to No. 1 in the UK and stayed there for a total of two weeks, selling about over 120,000 copies.[4]

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.

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 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.

Live in Hyde Park is now out of print, but is not difficult to find second-hand due to high sales at the time of its release.
