PASADENA, Calif. — On a Thursday in mid-October, Flea sat in a patio chair he’d dragged down to the lawn, looking out at the green lake in his backyard.

That band became the Red Hot Chili Peppers and persevered for three wild, shirtless decades, weathering the loss of members to addiction and attrition, not to mention the waning of alternative rock as a commercial force.

In September and October, they played Rock in Rio in Brazil, a Formula 1 racing event in Singapore and a festival on a man-made island in Abu Dhabi.
