Every Jane’s show back in the day was like a gathering of the tribes. The punks, metalheads, skaters, goths, hair metal and glam rockers, the potheads and hippies, college and indie rockers… from industrial fans to new wavers, surfers to hardcores, gays to straights, dopers to the D&D geeks, and everything in between. It was just a glorious mix of every subcultural group of the time…. And it was their music that was the one thing everyone could agree on.

...and kids this is exactly what a Jane's show looked like when I saw em in '88. As a 20 year old metal head I thought this was like Aerosmith on acid. I saw them at the Metropol in Pittsburgh. Coolest thing was the pit would slow down with the pace of the songs, like everyone was moshing in slow motion. Then it would speed back up as soon as the songs got faster. If you're 20 years old right now as we speak, go find something like this. You'll be 53 years old someday too, and it rocks to have great memories!

[@middleclassic]

I was at this show. No surprise for me because I had been following Perry since his previous band Psi Com. And I love how Angelo from Fishbone is up on stage too. In fact, that's how I found out about Jane's Addiction was from Norwood of Fishbone. I had seen Fishbone open up for Camper Van Beethoven at Madame Wong's (I think) in 1984 before Fishbone had released anything. I had no idea who Fishbone was. Hell, nobody did! But I'll never forget about 3 of the guys (probably Chris, Angelo, and ... Walt) came on stage doing head over heels cartwheels which just showed how much energy I was in for. Yeah, they BLEW ME AWAY! I ended getting to know them and then I ended up driving those guys around town to shows for about 4-5 months because none of them owned a car at the time, and I did. I even drove all of them all the way from where they rehearsed at The Fishbowl (Norwood and Fish's big green apartment building off La Cienga Blvd I think) all the way to UC Irvine where a friend of mine was a DJ at the time, DJ'ing as Carlos Marx (Tony Ozuna). It was a crack up as Fishbone took over the building and show. My friend briefly interviewed them but all they wanted to do was play music, and they did! I discovered Funkadelic Maggot Brain that night :-) Anyway, fast forward to what ... 1986, I had known about Psi Com breaking up when I saw Norwood at a show and he tells me Perrys got a new band together and I should check them out. So, I went to the very first Jane's show ever. Looking at google maps just now I think it was the building on the NW corner of Hollywood Blvd and Las Palmas. I just remember the show was located in a building that looked like the one currently at Hollywood n Las Palmas. The show was on the 2nd story above what was at that time a shoe store. And now appears to be a market (me editing this in 2020). Walking up to pay the door girl was topless. Very cool start :-) Anyway, I remember the place was FULL of helium filled balloons across the ceiling and was a damn good show. So much so that I have easily seen Jane's Addiction more than any other band in my life. As for this Mountain Song show, I wish I could see myself in this video. There is only one possible time I might be in this because I was standing on a small table against the back wall where it is very dark. I think at one point I saw my silhouette but ??? I just remember it so absolutely jam packed I saw the table and climbed on top. I'm a tall dude too but it was stifling down below. And those 2 chicks @ 02:06 ... it was like everything froze when they walked in. I remember me and my friend Dave just slack jawed when we saw them ... like WHO ARE THOSE GIRLS?!? They were part of Perry's entourage and they would be at just about every show from then on. Never met them though ... not sure why. I do hope it doesn't sound like I'm bragging or anything. It's just the memories I have as THOSE were the days to roughly quote Classic Girl. Then years later at the 2nd Coachella ever in ... 1999, 2000? Perry was playing so I found the tent he was in an went up to him and asked "Perry, how's it going? Do you remember me?" He looked at me and said "Uh ... your smile looks familiar". I was somewhat shocked as I used to talk to him all-the-time. But then again I had heard and read that he was going to Bali A LOT doing all sorts of drugs so ... who knows. Then again, I was just a hanger on always talking to the musicians but never participating in the music itself so ... maybe that's it. Whatever, he remembered my smile ... I'll take it :-) Thing is, I bet if I saw any of the guys from Fishbone they would all remember me. Especially Angelo or Norwood. Those guys were very cool and cracked me up! Yes ... memories.

Saw Fishbone at Lollapalooza '93 in Atlanta. On the grass behind the seating people were throwing wadded-up cups (the old red waxy Coke cups) and the whole area had a big red blurry look from all the cups that were flying back and forth. During Alice In Chains' set, for "Rooster" they had guest backup vocals by Maynard James Keenan from Tool, and dUg Pinnick from King's X!

I used to go see Fishbone all the time when they would play in OC.

Band. Everrrrrr!" these days.) They're abstract, sexy, aggressive, whimsical at times, psychedelic - and put together in a way where I'm left wondering, "I don't know how they put all these things together and pulled it off, but it's sooooo great."

The music, the surrealism… while seemingly chaotic, has profound meaning and depth. It’s a manifestation of Perry’s grief and trauma. As you can see in the video everyone is tripping on drugs and going out of their minds. Perry’s physical, violent convulsions are amalgamated with a kind of spiritual ascension that expresses a divine, poetic sound that resonates with so many people. Coming down the mountain is a reference to coming down from being high on heroin, and how difficult that is. In an interview, Perry said that “everybody has their own opinion” and “cash in now, honey” is a tribute to his late mother, who committed suicide when he was a child. Each of us has his or her own opinion if life is worth living or not, and she decided to cash in. It’s so profoundly sad. Perry has sacrificed his pain for the benefit of our own redemption. I’ve never done heroin, or any other hard drugs, but when I listen to this song, Perry takes me with him on that ride and it transcends all the stuff that I’m dealing with… it’s so empowering.

Nailed it. Beat the machine through self denial, love, sacrifice to a higher purpose. The Way.

ERIC AVERY’S WORK ON A BASS GUITAR IS UNDERRATED

[@christco120]

Truer words were never spoken, not only is he a monster player but most of their songs originated with him. Ever notice how many of their songs start with a bassline? Ever notice how their material without him kind of sucks? It isn't a coincidence, he was the backbone and without him they aren't Jane's Addiction

[@hjermsted22]

There's definitely a missing ingredient on the newer Jane's albums, isn't there? Explosive chemistry in those first three Jane's records.

[@edwhite7475]

@@hjermsted22 after 'Ritual ' i left the fold...and 'we'll make great pets' wasnt so great, not like this. I heard that they were put together by the record company, and grew to hate each other. My friends called it 'devil music', lol But this whole disc was GREAT....way more Zeppelin than Greta Van whatever-

[@cambranson]

Those bass lines were always fucking great. I practised this riff when I was playing in the 90s. Respect to Eric!!

[@twozniak4037]

First song I ever heard from Jane's Addiction. Saw them live at some dive in 87 or 88. Fell in love with Eric Avery. Most melodic bassist ever.

[@kevindemattia]

Do remember which club it was? What city?

[@twozniak4037]

@@kevindemattia It was at The Roxy in Hollywood, July of 87. Don't tell my mom, ok? I was supposed to be in Vacaville.

[@Thatguy55595]

T Wozniak did Perry’s voice peak back in the 87 show you’d sad or was it not fully developed when you saw him just curious

Game changer this can never be duplicated again thank god for Janes Addiction!

I remember when they played in Tampa in the 80’s I was hooked.... so amazing live!!!

One of two tracks that always blew the lid off the venue whenever the DJ played them back in the day. Perfect.

Just listening to Jane’s is exhilarating so I can’t imagine what it must have been like to be at their live shows...we need a band with this attitude again!

this band, and this album made me who I am, and I listen to it start to finish a lot, nothing out there today even compares damn it!

[@adamprice4810]

In the 90's this was the new spiritual music that brought people together in a positive way. Most 90's shows were amazing. No worries about idiots with emotional issues that wield guns and cry about there phones taken away

[@Pinnetje-filmpjes]

Talking about emotional idiots, the fight did not give Perry a good look

Just bought VIP seating for the Seattle show!! Going w my best friend we first saw them together Dec 9th 1990 in Seattle!! Ready and pumped! Summertime rolls baby ❤

Timeless, could have come out last week

[@rgdssd]

In 1991 I was a very young, 14 year old Mexican-American girl from a conservative family. Jane’s Addiction blew my mind when I first heard them- I was never the same. They were my first concert in 91’ and I’m about to see them again in a few months at age 47. The raw energy from their music just incomparable. My gosh the early 90s for music/rock culture in CA were just amazing!

[@markye1872]

Still beautiful after all this time. Thank you boys.

[@NolalanD]

Powerful riff, pristine recording, Dave looks so young, but so did I at the time.

[@raylewis5235]

2023 and nothing comes close. What an epic time it was to be alive!

[@davidcoleman913]

This song and video got me hooked on the aggression and greatness of this band. XXX, nothing shocking and ritual are the best first 3 albums From an artist since Zeppelin 1 ,2and 3. Still my all time favorite band

[@brandonshifflett7808]

That dance move at 33 seconds is the coolest thing I've ever seen I think

[@elchupa72]

Perkins on drums - masterful !! Saw them during the nothings shocking tour by chance, hadn't really heard much of them before- Girl I worked w/had an extra ticket ( her brother was a fan) & I went w/ them... I was blown away and have been a fan since

[@mooville32]

I went to Spit/Axis in Boston back in 88' to see them live when Nothing Shocking came out. What a night, what a show, what an experience.

[@insolentstickleback3266]

Damn wish I could have, I was 22 in 88. Cheers!

[@Sarah.Riedel]

My first boyfriend was 11 years older than me - I was 18, he was 29. There were a lot of things wrong with that relationship, but one thing I'll always love him for was his introducing me to Jane's Addiction. They changed my life.

Such a brilliant sonic assault to the senses, complete aural delight, one of the greatest albums in the history of rock and roll. So damn electrifying and phenonemal!

These guys were an 80's band. Glam rock was at its peak, but these guys showed there was still hope. Music still holds, too.
