Agreed! He's one of my all time favorites. He is doing well. Rumors are going around, again, about a reunion with Eric, and he says he has some new music for the project. Wouldn't that be something? I'm not holding my breath because he and Perry haven't been able to do it yet--but mayve they'll finally do it. 32 years and counting . . . .
yep this is when Janes was Janes, when Casey and Perry were still together and very much in love and Eric was still on bass, still a long ways away from the day when his disgust for Perry finally trumped the passionate love he had in his heart for this band...he was a huge fan of their artistic collaborative efforts, each member of the team pouring everything they had into making Jane's Addiction into the Janes Fucking Addiction we all know and love, with their vision seared deeply into the very fabric of all true life long fans, and this belief in creative equality was a corner stone in Eric's justification of walking away, pride shattered and terribly broken hearted, from the musical love of his life, an achievement he to this day is so incredibly proud of, as he should, and has every right to be, then now and forever...but at that time, on that blank canvas of an LA night ....all was well on earth, in heaven and hell, all was well, all was well.
I've been a 'Jane's fan since the late 80's. I have been fortunate enough to be able to see them live three times. Twice on the Ritual De Lo Habitual tour and once about 10 years ago. All three were magical experiences for different reasons. Their music is basically the sound track of my late teens and early twenty's. Thanks for posting this.
The greatest band I ever saw live. Unfortunately couldn't get in to the Nothing's Shocking show as it was 18+ but saw them 3 times on the Ritual tour. Blew my 15 year old mind!
By now, they were a fine wine at it's prime. Thanks for sharing! My 'addicted' story: Boulder Co., 1989, the band had just stopped 'Stop'. I climbed up on stage, smiled at the band and gave a thumbs-up before I did a back dive. Fell flat on my back, as no one caught me. Paying for it now, lemme tell ya!
Those drums and bass lines... It's great that we can hear the bass. I seen them in '91. They were the most newest heavy psychadelic rock I had heard at the time. All these new videos being released are excellent. This is why we loved them...
This is around the time I first saw them. I had been listening to them then they came to a small club in Portland and their show was a religious experience. Perry had pink dreads and Dave’s hair was green
What a treat! This was my 1st of 4 shows before they called it quits after Lollapalooza. 89 Visage Nightclub in Orlando, FL. This was still the Nothings Shocking era, Ritual touring started in 90-91 from what I recall...
They started ritual in June of 1989, Perry mentions it in the full set we uploaded of this show, the Ritual sign is hanging up above the stage. Ritual was delayed if I remember correctly.
World Rockumentary Channel™ Ahhh that’s right! Warner Bros. had delays with I believe the album cover art, etc. I didn’t notice, but was the entire show uploaded?!
I was 14 when this transpired... It wasn't until three years later that I discovered Janes hammered on beer in the back of my buddies car doing top speed runs
I saw them at The Astoria London in October 1990 and Brixton Academy March 1991 on the Ritual De Lo Habitual tour. Astonishing gigs! Seen them many times since but those were just epic!! 🎸🤘
Damn, I was 13 when this happened, loved this early era of them, the freaky dont give a fuck almost thrift shop look, all on drugs ( probably) and brilliance of their first 3 albums. Dave was just a quiet guitar player rather than a media personality.It was the hottest ticket in London when they toured the UK for Ritual, playing the legendary Marquee. Even the snobbish NME said "sell your mother for a ticket" and for once, they were right. Keep the vids coming, of any band of the 80's 90, please, well worth watching, raid the vault!
Jane's,used a market storefront a couple of blocks from my parents place in Whittier CA to make the been caught stealing video.Theres a thrift store there that's pretty groovy.I play acoustic's with the owner on Saturday's. It's on Lambert Rd.Hi Dave🤗
This wasn't the Ritual tour (but there were many Ritual songs in the set) This was still the Nothing's Shocking tour. ritual wouldn't hit the shelves for another 15 months.
Saw them in 91' in nYc and I was very young. I thought they were one of the best bands and the Triple X, Nothing's Shocking, and Ritual are still three of my favorite albums of all time. I went through some rough times with drugs and stuff and hadn't heard them in a while and I like having physical CD's so I got them along with so other stuff and ordered CD tape player a while back. I listen to a lot of different music, so I had some stuff that survived and found it at my Mom's house when she sold it and I brought it home. A lot of tapes bc we took a family trip to Canada and I had a Walkman and found Cure tapes, Siouxsie tapes and some others and they were all black in Canada for some reason. Then only my two classical tapes worked it the player and I didn't want to risk breaking something that can't be replaced. Now the CD player went out and I can't listen to anything at home. JA were great for some many of us coming up, but I really hate who perry has turned out to be. Like the whole atmosphere of that "Just Because" video with his lame clothes and funny hair cut; it's like who is this guy and okay fjine, he can't only have green dreads, but this is just something else and it's offensive. The first P4P was the last album I bought from them. There show in Milan back in the day was when they were on top of their game. It's strange but once Casey and Perry split it was over.
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed! Once you're familiar with that sound, there's no mistaking it for anything else :) pppppsssshhhhhtt
If you haven't seen it, look for the 1990 Milan show. There are a few copies of the complete show on YT, but they're multigenerational VHS dubs. However, there's a 3 song clip of the same show (with Whores, Then She Did, and Three Days) that's really high quality. Clean, clear picture and equally pristine audio. It's my favorite JA video, they just sound perfect on it
its a first come, used to be at almost all concerts, get there mega early , then as the gates open , beat and fight your way to the best visual point,,, after the Who fuck up in Cincinnati, put an end to Festival Seating forever
I remember seeing this on a documentary years back. I remember when the gates open a dude ran up to your cam and yell something like Jane’s rock or something like that. I also remember an interview of Perry and Nicole before the footage of them playing. Please post the whole vid.
They had their Ritual de lo Habitual banner flying over their stage. It was the kick off shows of Seven in a row for their recording of Ritual which they started in June of 1989.
@@wizardofblahs Okay if you say so. We were there filming this show, we know what we witnessed. It was a series of seven nights it was the kick off to Ritual.
Now Jame's made Music; not like nowdays when they can't play a freakin instrument. It's all gone. (Except for the Classic bands). Please don't say Greta Van Fleet.
The drummer and bass player are awesome...I think the other dudes are on drugs. The guitar players timing is slightly off and the singer ain't hitting the notes. Bass and drums are spot on
just checking in to see why I never got into janes addiction so 25 years later & I see why.It was way too out there & not enough straight driving stuff with a message I can understand, but u can hear they were musicians & could play well,for sure.
