The Chili Peppers were able to join in on the fun by performing simultaneously on two different networks.The Los Angeles group, who formed back in 1983, returned with their 12th studio album ‘Unlimited Love’ last Friday (April 1).For Kimmel, the band performed ‘These Are The Ways’ atop the Roosevelt Hotel in a pre-recorded segment that was filmed earlier in the week.

Meanwhile, for The Tonight Show, they played ‘Black Summer’ live from NBC Studios in New York.During the broadcast of the shows, it appeared as if the band were playing live on both ABC and NBC at the same time.

Watch the videos below.Speaking about ‘Unlimited Love’ during a Big Read cover interview with NME, Anthony Kiedis explained: “I really didn’t want to tell the same old story that we’ve been hearing for the last 50 years in rock music.“I liked reaching out in 10,000 directions and seeing what was out there.
