Red Hot Chili Peppers

In November 1987, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed “Fight Like A Brave” live at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis, they were riding a wave of creative momentum following their album "The Uplift Mofo Party Plan," released just a few months earlier in September. This was a pivotal time for the band, showcasing their raw energy and unique style, blending funk and punk that would come to define their sound. What’s fascinating is that during this period, the band was beginning to carve out their niche in the music scene, gaining traction with their energetic performances and unabashedly vibrant melodies. Notably, "Fight Like A Brave" was an anthem that reflected their resilience, a theme that resonated deeply with fans. This performance is a testament to their growth as artists, setting the stage for future successes, especially as they would go on to reach even greater heights with subsequent releases. The exuberance captured in this live recording tells a compelling story of a band on the brink of breakthrough.
