Description

What's red and hot and sold out all over? That's right, the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They glided into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame this year and traveled around the globe. They'll end their world tour with a big finish on the West Coast, playing only one show in the Bay Area. Don't miss it. What better way to start the New Year than with 2 tickets for the February 17th show at Oracle Arena? And, you can celebrate these punk funk rockers for the ages with a poster from the epic April 7, 1989 Fillmore show. This vibrant piece of rock memorabilia from Wolfgang's Vault has been custom framed to the highest archival standards with acid free paper and glueless mounting.

Punk-Funk Rockers with a reputation for raw [as in basically-in-the-buff] live performances, Red Hot Chili Peppers performed at the Fillmore on April 7, 1989 sans original guitarist, recent heroin casualty Hillel Slovak. Support act Thelonious Monster , the L.A. "drunk-rock" group with all-star talent and a penchant for the unpredictable, was at the time enjoying informal studio help from Flea [Chili Peppers original member Michael Balzary]. The artwork of Spanish-born and Texas-influenced Frank Kozik backlights a hot red chili with electric yellow flashes, calling to mind the contemporaneous art of Keith Haring.

Wolfgang's Vault owns one of the world's largest collections of original concert posters, featuring hundreds of rock posters, political posters, sports posters, comedy posters and others that were previously unavailable to the general public. Virtually all of our concert posters are in mint condition, and many are signed by the headline performer or the graphic artist.

This is a Live Event Item.
