Red Hot Chili Peppers Live Performance of Sex Rap at The Ritz

Venue: The Nucleus Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States Date: November 30, 1985

Back in the mid-'80s, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were really starting to make waves, and their live recording of "Sex Rap" at The Ritz in 1985 captures that raw energy perfectly. Just a year before, they released **"The Uplift Mofo Party Plan,"** which was their second studio album, showcasing their unique blend of funk, punk, and rock—traits that would become their signature. This era was pivotal for the band, especially with the lineup featuring Hillel Slovak and Jack Irons. It was a time when the Chili Peppers were really honing their sound, moving towards the funk-infused style that would explode in the '90s. Interestingly, this performance captures the spirit of their early work, which often felt electrifyingly spontaneous, a reflection of their wild live shows. Fans were still discovering them, making every live gig a chance for something memorable. It’s fascinating to think about where they’d go from here, isn’t it?
