The first leg of the tour was a promotional leg, to support the bands latest album By the Way. The band was at a commercial peak, having only been off the road for a short amount of time after touring in support of their 1999, best-selling "Californication". The band began writing their next album in early 2001, and released "By the Way" over a year later, on July 9, 2002.
