Red Hot Chili Peppers

In 1992, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed "If You Have To Ask" at The Supertop in Auckland, they were riding high on the momentum of their critically acclaimed album, "Blood Sugar Sex Magik." Released just a month earlier, in September 1991, this album not only marked a major turning point in their career but also introduced a raw, innovative fusion of rock, funk, and punk that would define their sound. It was a period of significant change for the band, especially with the temporary addition of guitarist Arik Marshall, who brought a fresh energy to their live shows. This particular performance is notable not just for its stellar musicianship, but for giving fans a glimpse into a unique era – blending classic hits with a new lineup. The interplay between the band members during these shows became legendary, showcasing their dynamic stage presence and the exhilarating vibe of early '90s rock.
