Red Hot Chili Peppers at City Gardens (11-08-1987)

On November 8th, 1986, the Red Hot Chili Peppers played at City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. This show was the 13th date on the band’s tour in support of their third studio album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan, which was released in September of 1987. Sadly, this was one of the last shows to feature all of the original members of the band, as guitarist Hillel Slovak passed away in early 1988. Faith No More opened this show, and the Chili Peppers also played at a venue called The Green Parrot Club in Neptune, NJ the night before. This appearance was the band’s third and final performance at City Gardens.
