Some of us discovered Red Hot Chili Peppers from their album, Californication, while others were introduced to their music arsenal at the point of Stadium Arcadium. Some have even followed the band's music journey since their initial album release back in 1984 with the self-titled, Red Hot Chili Peppers. Regardless of how far back your discovery of their music goes, if you have listened to one album, you have most likely listened to many. Far from a one-hit wonder band, all of the rock band’s albums are transcendental. Close your eyes and listen to any of their albums for an escape on any day. Show up to their show at the Allegiant Stadium to be present with the band’s artistic expression and those in the audience who value such influential music.
