Perry Farrell, the biggest, tallest, mile highest, most athletic front man ever, that velvet voice with all those stories to tell. Never could a band get me higher live. Jumped out of my flesh so many times in Los Angeles. Thank you for the best times of my life and thank you Foo Fighters for the gorgeous tribute.
Being 16 at Lollapalooza in the 90's...man....you could feel the culture shifting. Was fucking electric. If you've never seen Jane's live, your albums dont even do them justice. Goddamn that band was a different animal live.
My first time to see Jane's Addiction was 1992 in London. They were my favourite band back then. Nothing's Shocking was the re-emergence of rock music. Excellent band.
Seen two Jane's shows in the 90s and they consistently delivered what I can only describe as a mind altering performances. Only wish I had caught the farewell tour a few years ago. Too old and stupid now to keep up on stuff I love.
Watching Grohl, Pat and Taylor fangirl over Perry is kinda amazing to watch. You can tell these dudes are clearly MASSIVE fans and they're having a blast onstage just watching Perry and playing with one of their idols.
Hell yeah!!! People forget about Janes Addiction WAAAAAYYY too often!!! They were AMAZING!!! If I was catchin' Foo Fighters at a venue as small as the Metro, my mind would ALREADY be blown! Dave Grohls already on stage... then fuckin' Perry Farrell shows up!?! Not too mention Pat freakin' Smear is on stage!!! Man, that show is what rock 'n' roll folklore is freakin' made of, man!!! Woulda' killed to hae been there!!!
I was fortunate enough to attend the 1st Lollapalooza (Orlando) with all access passes given to me by Stephen Perkins. It was quite the experience and a memory I will never forget and always cherish!!!
wow, great man, did you get the pass for backstages too ? heard Henry Rollins talking about carnal experimentations between people :D, sounded wild and fun!!
3:55 Long, long ago, in their LA club days, Janes used to cover some Germs songs - Pat Smear’s old band and LA punk legends - including Lexicon Devil. As someone who was at a couple of those shows, it’s crazy to see both Perry and Pat still at it 30 yrs later.
I grew up on Jane's Addiction. To the point as a teen I used to look up articles on microfiche in the library. Went to the first Lolla.I love that they all look and seem genuinely happy to be rocking together.
Was at their first UK gig (support to Fields of the Nephilim) and just stood there with my jaw on the ground getting hit by the wall of incredible sound. Saw a couple of the Ritual tour dates and again but even more so, stood in the middle of the crowd completely mesmerized.
Sort of ridiculous claim, there was much alt b/4 Janes and have nothing to do with JA. I really like Janes but living in that era there was TONS of great alt acts.
@@ThirstyCraig Sure there were "alternative" music acts, but if these guy's never drop Nothing's Shocking & open up the floodgates; The Chili Peppers never make Blood Sugar Sex Magik and 90's alternative rock as we know it cease to exist.
Im old I was at 1st Lollapalooza too at Fla State fairgrounds,,, We drove up no room to stay at just beer and party supplies !! Rocked n partied all day then made it to a motel parking lot and slept in the car for a few hours b4 driving the 3 hours south back home!! Good old days no stress no plan just having funn!!!
Im def sounding old now but the 90s were the best time musically in my life so far ,, There were so many bands putting out great new music and then Perry started Lollapalooza!! Like i said Awesome fun time in life for sure !!
Perry and J/A the most bad ass rock n roll band of all time!! Grohl and Foo are awesome but Perry is Rock Royalty!!! J/A is my wife and I mutual favorite band and we danced to Classic Girl as our wedding song !! Married in 1993 will be 26yrs this Sept!!! We saw J/A in Miami small club Jackie Gleason Theater about 5 years ago and when they played Classic Girl our wedding song it reared me up!!! Good stuff n Love us some Janes!! As the show ended something hit me in the chest and I looked down and there was one of Stephen Perkins wrist sweat bands he threw in the crowd and yes in my 40's I had to pick it up like a kid !! Still have it on a shelf at home ,,,, Good Stuff!!
Perry is one in a trillion and after going down memory lane 30 yrs later I stumble across this, thankyou Dave for inviting him, Taylor RIP was sooo fukn happy to see Perry as was Pat, Chris & Nate, this brought every kind of emotion to the surface, Big Love To All The Jane's Addiction & Foo's Fans xoxo
My favorite veno in Chicago (my home town) ! I've beet to NYC (CBGB's, and LA,, Viper Club, etc, and others) but they had nothing as good as seeing a show than the Metro in Chi-town!
What's the big deal, they've probably known each other from the LA scene a long time, friends hug. It's not like it's their first time meeting each other.
Thx Valerie for getting us tickets to Lollapalooza #1 in NJ ♥️, and Perry was wasted so Jane’s show started 45 mins late, Siouxie & Banshees cancelled, but NIN rocked
@@drumgold23 it's true man. I saw them for a second time and straight up walked out because it was so trash. The first time I saw the though was literally one of the greatest shows in my life.
No you have it wrong. Foo fighters are unique just like Jane's. I seek new alt rock steady but in 2021 where is the real music? Could anyone give me some some suggestions on new tunes from California? I'm in the northern ontario bush.
Me too, first Lala tour ever, I saw the. In the SF Bay area .... Mountain ViewI think a d was blown away! The whole thing was his idea LA pollution that is and he did something really cool that no one had done before at least not at that level. There must have been 8 different stages at the first tour that I want to in California and I love the idea of putting all these different bands out there for people to appreciate them and for the people to get exposed to new music. Of course Jane's addiction was the final act and it was Really intense and I had goosebumps like the whole time. Perry Farrell is one of the best rock singers ever in my opinion and the band is 1 of the coolest most modern you could say all rock bands ever and so much earlier than the rest of them might as well bend the creators of alternative rock. There were bands like the death tones who definitely definitely defined the era but I think they came a little later than Jane's addiction. It was such a creative Time in music history and I still love the bands from that era the most of my favorites.
As I giant Janes addiction fan back in the day, I'm surprisingly really excited watching this. Maybe because Mountain Song is the first Janes Addiction song I heard when Nothing's Shocking came out, and it was so incredibly exciting at the time. You knew "Nothing's Shocking" and Jane's Addiction was going to change the face of music. A very exciting time!!
Omg!!!!😱😱😱😱 Perry's face😢 but who am I to judge? I love him and have since start of Jane's Addiction. He still got it too...that voice and foo fighters did FANTASTIC. 😍 I enjoyed this😘
Farrell the masterpieces gemstone and a professor of music dirigents pretty much stole the show will never have another Superstar like this King I've never seen such an incredible humble stage presence he's a miracle for art journalists
It's crazy to think this is the same Perry Farrell from the early 90's. You watch some of those early videos and he is so into heroin that he looks like a ghost from some other dimension up on stage rocking back and forth. The entire band just oozed untamed creativity and musical energy... mysterious, dangerous, powerful. This version of Perry is... different.
Still not a patch on Dave though, to be fair. Dave, when on form, was the best guitarist of his generation, bringing in elements of flamenco, latin, jazz and god knows what else that nobody else would have dared to do on top of the obvious McGeoch and Page influences in the alt genre.
The first Lollapalooza was the best and I’ve been to many but the very first was the very best. I went to the fair grounds in Washington state!!! It rained all day ALL DAY AND NIGHT!! But it was great ice T rap act and his heavy metal band body count stole the show!!! But all the bands were great that night. Butthole surfers, Rollins band, fishbone, Janes, violent femmes, sussie and the banshees!!! Every band was on fire that night great show!!!
