Red Hot Chili Peppers

By 1987, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were riding the wave of their **third studio album, "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan,"** released in 1987 just months before this live performance of "Black Eyed Blonde." This album marked a notable return for the band, featuring reunited founding members after a brief hiatus. The live recording at the Scream at the Embassy Hotel was a true testament to their energetic punk-funk roots, showcasing their raw sound during a time when they were still solidifying their place in the music scene. Fun fact: this era of the band also highlighted their willingness to experiment and evolve their sound, laying the groundwork for what would come next. With Jack Irons on drums and the infectious groove that would soon define their style, this performance captures a pivotal moment in their journey, embodying that wild, unapologetic spirit that fans have come to love.
