Red Hot Chili Peppers

In September 1995, when the Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at the Subterania Club in London, they were riding high on the waves of their acclaimed album, *One Hot Minute*, which had been released just the year before. This album marked a significant evolution for the band, introducing guitarist Dave Navarro to the mix and showcasing a darker, more introspective side of their music. Interestingly, despite its mixed reviews, *One Hot Minute* produced hits like "Aeroplane" and "My Friends," and the live recording at the intimate Subterania club captures the band in a transitional phase, blending their funky rock roots with more nuanced elements. This performance is a vivid glimpse into their energy and urgency as they prepared to further explore their sound during a pivotal moment in their career. It’s fascinating how, in just a blink of an eye, the pulse of a live show can reflect the evolution of an entire band, wouldn’t you agree?
