Best band of all time. Love this stuff!!!!! Perry is amazing

[@cocainebuffet]

[@STRATCAT101]

Flea is such a versatile bass guitarist,perfect and flawless.Flea is amazing,and a natural for J.A.a band like J.A, comes around once in a life time.I seen them in Toronto,we all wanted them to play, forever but they did a long show.I I hope they come back to Toronto real soon,we love them here.

[@omarnib3074]

pure poetry 🌹

[@prisilaamaya2498]

Wish I was there one of my favorite songs 😭💙 take me back to this era

[@themansayz]

We had fun before cell phones and ipads ya know.

[@NotRightN0w]

I lvoe you for having the entire set up. Good man. greatest band ever. I just saw them live for the first time in may, incredible.

[@DrummerDave77]

If there was one show, one concert, that I could go back in time and see...it would be this one! for sure!

[@Jeffrey-vw3kx]

Jane's Addition Greats band ever

[@cocainebuffet]

with just two high notes in the breakdowns flea added so much to the song

[@0mFg0ShiSh]

not unlike the "then she did" bass ditty, from this very show! I think its the same show anyway, just relocated maybe after a break, & a much smaller kit for mr. perkins. looks like it was a lot of fun!!

[@cocainebuffet]

or the beginning of summertime rolls, great show, if i could go back in time this is the show i would have went to

[@portergieske]

I was there and it was terrific.

[@HeckTo]

Nah, Avery’s original simple bassline is better

[@moonshinestarz]

flea + janes addiction = perfect combo ever

[@jestermindcrime1773]

no no bad bad ,,,,bring back Eric,,

[@kat1york]

As much as I love Jane's,..this song will always belong to Casey. Along with every ballad on Nothings Shocking and Ritual de lo Habitual.

[@TheHockPlayer]

help me Kat...I dig this sound but who's Casey?

[@lupillosanchez6620]

It was Perry's ex girlfriend songs like these one summertime rolls I would were dedicated to her

[@justinkassinger8238]

Exactly. She was the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen. She still looks good. It's funny that the magic left Jane's when Casey left

[@kat1york]

@Gaylord Focker Sorry for the delayed response. Casey Niccoli is an American artist, music video & film director. She was the girlfriend of Perry Farrell from 1982-1993 and is often credited as his muse. A Santerían wedding between Casey and Perry was the subject of the video, Classic Girl. You'll see their beautiful ceremony during that video. She is also responsible for directing and filming the video, Been Caught Stealing which won an MTV award for Best Alternative Video in 1991. There's a video of Dave Navarro and Casey running toward the stage to accept the MTV Award while Perry was locked up in a hotel suite downtown, smoking crack. The band fell apart during this time hence the reason Stephen and Eric are missing from the MTV Awards venue. Casey was a very important addition to Jane's. Her brilliant creativity is partially responsible for the bands aesthetics. She also co-produced and directed their film The Gift.

[@kat1york]

@Justin Kassinger and when Eric Avery left as well. I must admit when I saw them live on Halloween night in 97 in NYC with Flea on bass (stepping in for Eric's absence) all that magic had returned. It was the most beautiful show I've ever seen. I will always miss the original lineup though. 😪

[@shiretsu]

I love this song

[@Ezek2517]

my new favourite song!

[@pauladelaiglesia6259]

Amo a janes addiction

[@SophieBear80]

Sucha bad ass performance! Can't help but wonder how much X he was on though :))))

[@fowter1]

classic girl...

[@raymundosanchez9611]

Assooom beuty AMD great song!! 80,90s rules

[@Hellishcrusade]

Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Flea....How could this not be totally beautiful? Seriously though ....second only to the Velvets. Anyone agree?

[@kayakl8068]

Great song.

[@pickle5051]

Oh word. So fuckin good

[@soundsean]

@msmow Top Top Top Top choice. Big respect to you and your other half.

[@pretzelboy00]

Perry Ferrel, Dave Navaro, Erick Averes, Steve Perkins...

[@mynamedontmind]

aaaaaaaaaah flea is so cool

[@USA_ADVENTURE]

was the mic going crazy reverb during the middle and near end?? 4:18 5:02 and many more

[@stephencieslak2815]

This the show I most regret missing, I don't remember what happened but I was on my way and somehow got detoured.

[@EbolaSandwich]

Good Times.

[@gahan101]

Let's still have fun without all those things!

[@gahan101]

Yeah I think that's him that brought Dave Navarro to the Chilis for 'One Hot Minute'.

[@JasonPetersKongFooey]

bloody hippy

[@franklinloll2229]

Perry had a great range and depth back then. He was as versatile and adept as the others with his instrument .

[@birdyyyful]

I would love perry to write love songs about me

[@williamandrews4251]

Perry is Perry is Perry

[@TheArts8]

@bigdiksinkhakis very very laid

[@richardkelley1848]

Ha perry Ferrell and Norberg sound alike

[@fowter1]

@ChipAnnaChair hahaha

[@pattonPwr]

@oskaria he plays incredible but he don't fit in Jane's style..IMO

[@joseljulianify]

Love JA but this version of Classic Girl sucks. Perry's vocals suck and the instrumental had no soul either

[@msmow]

THIS was our first dance at our wedding!

[@Hellishcrusade]

I can't really think of a sexier band than J.A.

[@VampHammer1]

That sounds amazing if your a Janes fan and a female. Your husband knows the score. Well done sir.

[@jsmarema]

Perry Ferrel's......Gone Surfing! And that, my friend, I truly respect him for. Peace, brah!

[@gatofox]

Flea on the bass

[@windscoutlegion]

classsic grrrrl :)

[@Dianakilla]

love it!

[@surferbud1]

great song, terrible version

[@pattonPwr]

@WazzaDoctor steve vai plays perfect and he would not suit in the sex pistols.

[@STRATCAT101]

I saw J.A. in Toronto,they totally dominated the show.Please come back to Toronto real soon.You cant get enough of Jane's Addiction.

[@fowter1]

@ChipAnnaChair your obviously just jealous haha

[@MrWeedflower]

@Ergreenthumb your are so right.

[@michaelgeinopolos6911]

Janes Addiction forever 🎶

[@oskaria]
