L.A. funk/punk rockers, Red Hot Chili Peppers were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this past Saturday.  On the heels of their upcoming 30th anniversary the band had the honor of hitting the stage last and did so in style. They were joined by Slash, Faces (and Rolling Stones) guitarist Ron Wood, Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong and the Godfather of Funk, George Clinton.

The all-star jam features the Chili Peppers performing “Higher Ground” from their 1989 album, Mother’s Milk. The track is a punkified version of the classic by Stevie Wonder off his 1973 album, Innervisions. Check out the funking good time below.
