Jane's Addiction - 10/31/97- Hammerstein Ballroom - NY, NY - MTV Pro Shot Master [Full Show]

[@tzt1182]

When music was dangerous and magical. So happy I was in my 20s through out the 90s.

You old fhuack, I was 20 in 02

[@TheWatcher818]

In 97 I was 22. My son was 2. In LA. Went to a ton of concerts back then. Rage Against The Machine, a lot of classic rock shows, festivals. Never was into Janes Addiction. Was only familiar with Jane Says, Been Caught Stealing, and my personal favorite, Ted, Just Admit off the sickest soundtrack to the best movie ever Natural Born Killers. Beyond that, I didn’t like Perry Ferrells voice. Fast forward to Nov of last year (2022), Smashing Pumpkins and Janes Addiction at the Hollywood Bowl. Was curious about JA, but really there for SP. HOLY SHIT! JA blew my fuckin mind! Stole the show. Told my wife then and there that I NEEDED a full set, and if they ever did one, we’d go. They announced the Palladium show a couple months later and we got tix the first day. The show was last week, and I can’t put into words how kind fucked I am at how great they are. Jesus. On one hand I’m a loser for never giving them a chance so long ago, but it’s new to me now, which is so cool. Better late than never. They can take my money whenever they feel like it. Rock in you old fucks in the comment section😂 peace, love and health to us all.

[@jimminycricket3384]

There's a reason there are no Jane's Addiction tribute bands. Who the fuck could ever pull off anything close to this?

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

Their music is just basically blues. Same couple keys and revolving progressions. The drumming and guitar can be sophisticated and Perry’s voice is one of a kind.

[@RoscoPColtrane17]

lol true, nobody can imitate this. It’s all 1 of a kind.

[@matthew401]

There are literally thousands of bands and solo artists that "pull off" better music and performances than JA. Also, Peretz Bernstein, aka "Perry Farrell", looks like a 90 year old, Ash -ken -azi woman.

I don't think Dave ever got enough credit for his guitar playing.

[@neilp1911]

I thought the same thing when I was just learning to play guitar. Shredders were the flavor of the moment, and the mastery of Page, Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, etc. was well established and recognized. But I kept thinking "why isn't Dave Navarro more often seen as one of the best ever?". Still think he's incredible

[@markrosenquist8259]

I got to see Janes 4 times. First time 1987 they opened for Love and Rockets. Club 1235 Miami 2nd time 1989 Woodies on the beach Miami. Great show! 3rd time 1991 Bayfront Park Miami. Suicidal Tendencies split the bill with them 4th time this show in 1997 NYC. I really wish Eric Avery would come back. Jane’s is just not the same without him. Great times! Great band!!!! The 89 show at woodies was the best. There was so much electricity in the air you could just feel they were about to blowup and become HUGE!!!

Concerts like this will never be experienced again....intimate, and everyone there in the moment feeling the scene.

I was there! Still can't believe Flea was playing bass! He hit note for note and was awesome.

[@bearjmu]

This needs to be upscale and released on modern formats!!!!

[@avedic]

Perry was obviously the mad genius behind the ethos and aesthetic of Janes. But...Dave's guitar playing cannot be ignored. It's clear Dave's approach to guitar was hugely integral to that specific cosmic sexual hedonistic spiritual vibe that Janes did so damn well. This concert is just beyond perfect. Must have been so communal to be there in person...and on Halloween of all nights! Also...Flea killed it; he fits the rest of the band like a glove. And I love how wild-eyed and in a deep flow-state Perry is. What a show...just beautiful!

[@avedic]

Oh....believe me, I 100% agree that Avery's bass was the basis of Janes....I certainly realize that. The entire band is brilliant....but he provided the weirdly sensual groove underneath it all.

[@pape37]

This is my favorite Jane's era actually. Perry was so much older than the other guys that Dave was just starting to find his own thing. And I agree about his playing. Dave and John Frusciante are my two favorite guitar players from this era, and where John was wild and a little sloppy, Dave managed to be every bit as dark but extremely elegant and precise in his guitar playing. No funky staccato triplets. His sound is kind of oozing and sexual, love the goth vibe. Avery wrote some great parts but having an even better player in Flea kicked it up a notch. One of the great shames of rock 'n roll that this iteration of the band never did a record. I was 12 at this time. Would've killed to have been 22 and been there.

[@pape37]

And by Dave finding his own thing at 30 here, I mean stage presence and style, not his guitar playing which was always on point. For such a good looking guy, ditching the baggy clothes and floppy hats of '87 for this look suited him better.

[@ChasD]

Agree, though Stephen Perkins' drumming is also vital to the Jane's sound and vibe - that tribal feel and sexual groove. All four original members brought so much to the table - the whole band is definitely worth more than just the sum of its parts. Eric and Dave's Deconstruction project aside, none of their solo/ side projects can match the soaring heights of Jane's at full throttle. And though Flea doesn't have Eric Avery's melodic groove bass playing style, he fits in well in his own Flea way playing his own unmistakable style. It works, and the concert is brilliant as a result.

[@RedactedFreePress]

Although Flea has been involved with Janes as early as 1988. (Trumpet on Nothings Shocking) Fleas the bassists bassist and he can do it all. He's filled in on bass for both janes & porno for pyros. I preferred Janes up until scar tissue album.

[@donnapavina8803]

Incredible to experience. I moved to a Caribbean island in the late 80’s and became obsessed with reggae music. I watch this and can say, without a doubt, if I hadn’t of jumped so deep into the life I had, I would have been sssooo deep up this band’s ass. 😅 I knew the radio hits but the magic these guys let loose on that stage was something I wasn’t aware of. And to think this is @ 30 yrs later. Wow. I always knew moving here would put me on a different time zone but geeeeezus. Just fanfuckingtastic. And now watch him play the steel pan…I’m dead. 😵 ❤️ Sooo much of a creative force. It’s knocking me out. Chills.

My brother, his GF, her sister, a one of his childhood friends and I saw this show in 97 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago.

Guy filming happened to be sitting in our section. Sure enough, 1.5 minutes into it, here comes my brother and I up the stairs to our seats. Unreal man. Total mind f. I lost it bro. Woke up my wife at 1am crying loudly like I did when my mom passed in 2017. This was a month ago. I watch that video every day now so I can see us together at one of the best nights of my life.

I think is Perry's girlfriend back then, she was into decor and similar stuff... she definitely puts her signature ...

[@lastfewtokes]

Loncco Ccala It’s such a great stage build and whole arena vibe

[@mathewgladden8914]

People keep commenting on that. What exactly is it that is so amazing? I don’t really even see anything except green and purple accent lights…what am I missing

[@thedevine1628]

@@mathewgladden8914well to start, it’s two stages. Main stage and then one in the middle of the crowd for the acoustic part of the set. The lighting is sick, no big screens or graphics all shadows and lighting with lots of natural and trippy elements. Also a lot of verticality, with Perry 30 ft up in the air at times while rest of the band is almost level with the crowd.

Tem algum tipo de nome pra essa estética?

[@djcarlhamm]

the first time i ever got to see them .. and the fact that it was halloween made it even cooler because my friends and I all dressed up - i also decided to move to NY after that night.. epic show.. we were way up top, felt like a dream... thanks for posting this vid... proof that it really happened... 💜

[@jtoneal3344]

Maybe its the drugs and the nostalgia but I dare say this is the BEST CONCERT in the HISTORY of the UNIVERSE. Tickle me nuts.

[@Atlas_Mohler]

Woopty wop woop

[@luisalfonsoavilamarquez6350]

Sure was my best concert ever, my first in the USA in 1997 San diego CA it was magic for me

[@HoshJomme1]

Probably every single one of their concerts in 1991 was miles better.

[@Fatty-qh5jx]

@@HoshJomme1I was there for both years ‘91 & ‘97 and they were both momentous and life changing. But this reunion was truly epic..

[@richsleyster2656]

I’ve been to at least 80 concerts over the years. Janes Addiction in 2000 was top 3 of all-time for me. Absolutely amazing!!

[@ianklipa3572]

Who were the other top 3??

[@DicedOnionWarrior]

Wow 80 whole concerts.

[@bradmesserle999]

Can we please go back to the 90’s ? :) this had to been a incredible time.. I love small venue concerts..

[@blistabliss]

Hammerstein ballroom is pretty big lol. But yeah it sucks you usually have to go to some weird rodeo monstrosity or bball stadium to see big bands but I saw radiohead and before that smashing pumpkins at one of those weird outdoor bench chair things with an awning years ago and it was amazing. But a lot of big bands still play hammerstein and roseland in portland

[@kingtal99]

It was. Unbelievable bands, heaps of festivals,

[@robertoclementeaguirreeliz8315]

Such gem of a show...thank you for sharing this with the world

[@jacquesmesrine8031]

Flea's bass is so so so powerful that it fills the rhythm guitar space keeping the song as exciting.

[@BrandonMobley614]

Well said. Allen Woody in Gov’t Mule was the same way. He’d play off Warren Haynes’s lead guitar while still taking a stroll with Matt Abts on the drums.

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

Flea did his best but cannot replace Eric

[@GUI27XD]

​@@Cormac-jd2kxYes he can.

[@Cormac-jd2kx]

@@GUI27XDdifferent styles. Eric is Jane’s and Flea isn’t. Eric could never replace Flea in the RHCP

I was lucky to see this show live in Miami with my friends...one of highlights of my life!

[@gothamlab]

I was there too. It was a magical night. Outdoor pavilion right. Will never forget that experience.

[@skane28]

such a beautiful performance, absolutely love this. Having goosebumps throughout, thank you for the upload

[@StereoAnthony]

I remember actually taping this broadcast on vhs and then taping the tape so I could listen to it in the car! Flea on Bass is the best it could be minus Steven AMAZING SHOW

[@jeffdeprey6279]

I did the same, I recorded this on VHS when it was live, eventually made some DVD's for that for some friends, then saw someone selling that DVD online that was a much better copy and bought that and made new copies for some friends, then here it is on KZbin! many years I have been watching this concert, and it is still one of the best ever.

[@julas3642]

Flea is the beast on bass! one of the best bassist ever

[@julas3642]

and I don’t even like RHCP

[@UnwrittenSpade]

Ted, just admit it will always be my number one fav song

[@beetlerunner]

i was at this show. I was 23. Music today has nothing on this. Never will.

[@Ashley5911]

I was lucky enough to see this concert live I can’t believe there was a video. Absolutely best concert hands down. Yay for KZbin!!

[@Demention94]

Navarro can play the shit out of a guitar. Every one of his parts is like eruption

[@greensombrero3641]

he is really great, and like Halen, an amazing rhythm guitarist

[@PS-dp8yg]

Navarro was ahead of his time in Jane's Addiction early records.

His performance in Three Days alone is enough to validate your comment.

Three Days OMG

[@vinyldiary6664]

My favorite sound of them ... beautiful version

[@troubadouroutdoors2126]

Three days is the best song ever. Period.

[@jeremythomas_music]

I first listened to Three Days during one of my initial psychedelic experiences when I was 18. It fundamentally changed my life and my perspective of music. I don't say that in a cavalier way - this song opened my mind, opened my eyes, opened my soul. I still rate it as one of the best (maybe the best) songs ever recorded.

Perry is unique. I never saw them live but he is like a Jim Morrison character.

[@jodybarnes9466]

Congratulations for being part of the tired, insecure boredom, Scott.

[@WilliamBarker]

Shaman like. Indeed.

[@matthew401]

His name is Peretz Bernstein and he is nowhere near as good as Jim Morrison. Peretz Bernstein's voice only sounds kind of good because it goes thru synths.

[@klrba75]

Never gets old. One of the best live shows ever period!

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Christ they are on fire.. and Perry's voice sounds amazing. This is getting ripped for the car. Flea dropped in perfectly in the line up and Navarro's playing is off the chain

[@rollotomassi4768]

Maybe it's just because I was late teens and early 20's in the 90's, but Jane's Addiction concerts just had a feel, a vibe, that other artists of the same time didn't have.

[@tylerao]

Rollo Tomassi you ever get into The Butthole Surfers? Definitely nothing like Janes, but psychedelic punk rock, similar but different. Hairway to Steven is unreal and the album is on here

[@raulvargas4060]

Early gish era Smashing pumpkins had a somewhat similar feel

No doubt, an element of danger mixed with an amazing release....like no other

[@avedic]

Wow.....I really needed this tonight. I've been a Jane's fan for ages....and have seen this show several times. But lately.....I've been in a rut. Just this late 30s....wtf is going on stage. And then the pandemic hit. It's been a deeply frustrating few years to be honest. So watching/listening to this....full of so much LIFE and charisma and creativity and confidence and joy. It's just super inspiring. A nice reminder that you can kinda be whatever human being you want to be. And if someone is stopping you(often yourself) just beat them up and do you. Or something....you get it. Anyway, I've always listened to this show for the sheer musical creativity and expertise of it....It's so good. But tonight I just let the _vibe_ of it all move me. And mission accomplished. I need WAY more of Perry's weirdo trickster energy in my own life....

[@ext93]

Ita 4 am, i can't sleep, and i needed this too. Did you beat yourself up yet? If not, I'll do it for you I'm late 20s, going to be 30 in a year. I've been in a wtf stage since last year when my dad died and I left my gf. Life is strange and frustrating. It feels like the past 5 years just flashed by. Gotta keep going til the wheels fall off tho
