Couldn't play "Classic Girl" because it would hurt Etty's feelings... Seriously? I do wish JA would have played some of those other songs Eric mentioned, Obvious and No One's Leaving... never hear those tunes, that would have been sweet. Oh, and I Would for you, now that would have been awesome... and later they do it with Dave on a 12 string...? What?

Lol Obvious is about Eric. He constantly criticized everything Perry. Look at the rolling stone article where he explains each track on Ritual

@@Thatguy55595 where is this article you speak of...?

southboundtraveler www.google.com/amp/s/www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/janes-addiction-break-down-ritual-de-lo-habitual-track-by-track-61809/amp/ Farrell: There’s a cat that I wrote a lot of songs about, and I’m not going to say his name, because I don’t want him to ever know - but I have had struggles with this cat for most of my adult life. “Obvious” was written about him. This guy is always criticizing me; there’s always something wrong that I’m doing. But to me, this guy is a very obvious person - everything he does, I can see where he’s coming from. And I always keep him at a distance, because he’s always going to try to bring me down. He thinks he knows me, but he doesn’t. What I’m saying in this song is, “I’m not going to allow you to know me, because you would abuse my heart if I were allow you to truly know me. But I know you, because I study you.” It’s obviously Eric...

To be honest, I would prefer if Jane's Addiction did their shows WITHOUT Etty and her two stripper dancers with her. I want to see Dave, Stephen, Eric and Perry and THAT IS ALL. The half naked women up there is just an unnecessary distraction that makes the concert cheesy and ridiculous. I prefer Jane's BEFORE they put in all that forced bullshit. And guess what...Eric is back and Dave is sitting out because of Covid and the 3 females are back with Etty in charge now in 2022. WTF?

[@BriarthornAJ]

Yeah Etty is like Yoko Ono...😆 Nobody gives a crap about a back up dancer. She feels like she is part of the band. Cannot stand her.

I saw them with Troy from Qotsa and Eric on bass and I actually rlly liked it. Strippers were only out for like two three songs out of the whole set.

It wasn’t good Bowie???? Wtf! It was an amazing Bowie with Outside album! Cmon man

[@Thatguy55595]

Dude looks like the Sandman from Spider-Man 3

It's harder to sing for that length of time as you get older. It sucks. Your stamina goes down and your lung capacity diminishes. Those songs are so hard on the vocal chords too.

[@Lmichael11]

They tuned down. And "Oceansize" or "Three Days" require greater range; so they should have been able to do "Obvious" or "Classic Girl" . "1%". Does anyone know that Drop into the Sea@, or, Fall into the Sea@ e-mail address for Eric Avery?. It was some kind of e-mail address for fans of Eric Avery. I used to have it. I can't get into my old hotmail account to retrieve it.
