Tour de La Sensitive was a short 1994 concert tour by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and their first with guitarist, Dave Navarro who joined the band in 1993.
Background
The band had just finished their hugely successful
The band went right into writing for the next album and decided to mount a short tour titled Tour de La Sensitive which was named after the fake biker gang nickname, Los Sensitives that Navarro gave four members. The tour saw the band performing a memorable set at Woodstock '94 which featured them in lightbulb costumes, which Navarro hated and dressed as Jimi Hendrix for their encore, and two opening dates for The Rolling Stones which singer Anthony Kiedis has said was a miserable experience. The tour was the first to feature songs that would be recorded for the 1995 album, One Hot Minute.

Tour overview
The band were already rehearsing and writing for their next album while on this tour. Songs such as "Aeroplane" "Pea" and "Warped", which would appear on One Hot Minute, were performed for the first time although not all of the songs had complete lyrics that would be featured on the studio versions. The band also played intros and outros to "Deep Kick" and "Walkabout"; however, the full songs were not played until the tour to support the album. The instrumental song "Grand Pappy du Plenty" from their 1984 debut made its return for the first time since 1988 when it was used as an intro to "Give It Away".
In 2016, the band's performance at Woodstock '94 was made available on CD and Vinyl, however, it wasn't officially released by the band.
