Blood Sugar Sex Magik Tour - Tour Overview

Tour Overview

Blood Sugar Sex Magik Tour was the band's biggest tour at the time and took them across the entire world although the loss of John Frusciante in 1992 nearly halted the band's tour and rise to success but they carried on with Arik Marshall never missing a beat. The tour saw them playing bigger venues than ever before and became one of the most important tours of the Alternative rock era especially due to the opening acts the tour featured such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins who all would eventually be headlining their own arena tours within the next year and even become just as big if not bigger than the Chili Peppers themselves. Arguably the tour's highlight came with a headlining slot on the 1992 Lollapalooza tour which was one of the biggest tours of the summer. The band's setlists featured a heavy dose of the band's first five albums with songs like "Catholic School Girls Rule" getting a one time performance and vanishing from the band's setlist untl fourteen years later on the Stadium Arcadium World Tour. Out of the seventeen songs on the album, "Apache Rose Peacock", "The Greeting Song", "Mellowship Slinky in B Major" and "The Righteous & The Wicked" are the only songs to never be performed however they have been teased. "Naked in the Rain" was performed only twice with it being performed once during the 'Blood Sugar Sex Magik Tour' . "Funky Monks" has been performed three times and only once on the Blood Sugar Sex Magik Tour. It would not return to the setlist for another fourteen years on the Stadium Arcadium World Tour when a fan requested it during a radio contest. The band performed it once more the following night. This tour marked the last time songs such as "Get up and Jump", "Magic Johnson", "Naked In The Rain", "Party on Your Pussy", "Subway to Venus" and "Thirty Dirty Birds" have been performed live.
