Red Hot Chili Peppers

In December 1985, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed "Baby Appeal" live at Graceland in Vancouver, they were just starting to rise in the alternative rock scene. This performance came shortly after the release of their third studio album, *The Uplift Mofo Party Plan*, which debuted in the same year. This album marked a turning point for the band, solidifying their unique blend of funk and punk with a distinct Californian vibe. Interestingly, this was the last album to feature their original lineup before a series of departures and changes. During the recording, you can really feel that raw energy—the kind that comes from young artists eager to make their mark. The 1985 concert showcases them in a spirited, almost playful light, perfectly capturing the essence of their early sound. It’s a great representation of how they were not just a band, but a cultural movement bursting with creativity.
