The devoted fans then got together in the city of Rio de Janeiro to shoot the video. Chad Smith and Josh Klinghoffer responded to the video with Smith saying "The Did I Let You Know video. Made by our Brazilian fans is very cool! I love it! Thanks so much!” while Klinghoffer responded by saying “I just wanted to say that the smiles on all of those beautiful faces and the love that is very clear throughout that video made me a very, very happy camper.” [3]
