Red Hot Chili Peppers

Back in 1987, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers took the stage at Mississippi Nights in St. Louis, they were diving headfirst into a pivotal phase of their career. Just a year prior, they released their third studio album, *The Uplift Mofo Party Plan*, which was their first to feature new guitarist John Frusciante. This album showcased their unique blend of funk, punk, and rock, helping to establish their signature sound. By the time of this live recording, the band was still riding the wave of that album's energy and had begun to solidify their identity in the music scene. It's fascinating to note that this period was also marked by internal struggles, including personal issues among band members. Hearing their raw energy in this live performance, you can almost feel the excitement of a band on the brink of greater success, with so much more to come just around the corner!
