Jane's Addiction - Jane Says (Hammerstein Ballroom)

Jane's Addiction - Jane Says (Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City, NY, 1997-10-31 )

[@thomasi1454]

The first date I had with a girl named Jane was a Jane's Addiction concert in 1991. She was my muse and the one true love of my life. This song takes me back to that night, dancing with her in my arms, it was electric, surreal and etherial. Needless to say some time later we parted ways, the impulsivity of youth. I never found another love like what I had with her. Years later when my wife left, I looked her up only to find she passed at 35. She was taken much too soon. She had it all brains, a beauty like few possess and a gentle soul. Here's to you Jane! I hope when I cross into eternity we will meet again but until that day comes you will always be in my heart and memory. The greatest first date ever with the greatest girl ever.

[@kilakr13]

For sure. I’m a little over a decade behind you, but grew up hearing this song on alternative rock radio. Thought it was catchy, not too bad. It popped back into my head today and kinda fighting back tears listening to the lyrics. There’s always so much we will just do tomorrow.

This is a great example of how people used to enjoy a concert. Now you go to a concert and everyone is holding up their cellphone, filming for their Facebooks. If you go to a concert, just go to have a good time for yourself. Nobody really cares whether you were there or not, except yourself...

[@sanchoquixote5518]

+rox290 Preach!! The kids these days have no idea what a good use of their time is- anywhere, it seems. Nobody really cares whether I was at the first Lollapalooza, but I was.... I have no pictures, and I'm not the slightest bit sorry about that. If anybody thinks I'm bull_____ing, well... I don't blame you.... but I also don't give a ______. I've got a full enough Facebook page as it is. Lolly 1 wasn't much to write home about. I think the one I saw was in Irvine or some other outdoor venue in the L.A. Area. I forget, b/c I went to a few JA shows up near L.A. and they all blend together in my memory. Anyway- the strongest memory I have of it was that the sound system SUUUUUUUUCKED. Literally the worst I've ever heard at a big money show. So, however cool I might wish to make you think my life was..... pretty much everyone sounded like _____ that day. If you think the whistling at the beginning of this vid is annoying, can you imagine a whole set by Siouxsie and the Banshees with the high notes breaking up almost every time? Trust me- don't feel like you missed out on anything for not being there- even if you like JA. They sounded just as bad as everyone else..... although now that I think about it, I think Henry Rollins was there that day, and I remember him as doing relatively well. Of course he's closer to a grunter than a shrieker. That helps. Another moment that I have no selfie for was the time when my L.A. model friend from my high school took me backstage to meet Perry Farrell. I have to give the dude credit though- he looked at me for about 3 seconds and nodded slightly at me. Because I'm not a complete idiot, I realize that this was not because he gave even a low-flying fuck about me, but he was trying to be courteous to the hot girl next to me. Anyway, from what I heard about him from her, he was pretty much the dick that you would expect him to be, but not all that much more than your average L.A. musician who got to hear people saying he fronted "the best band in the world." I liked JA's sound on record, but I saw them 3 times live and they never lived up to it. Overall, I'm not claiming they're crap live, b/c I might have easily just gone to the wrong shows. So no offense is really meant to the fans that still think they're great. I wanted to believe that for years... but I just didn't see the proof. Primus, on the other hand.....RULES.

I was a teenager throughout most of the 90's so I saw some amazing shows at the perfect age to see them... I would have loved to be at this one though. It's one of the best shows I've ever seen from any band.

Jane says was the first song I ever heard by Janes Addiction. As I listened I thought to myself, this is the music I’ve been waiting for my whole life. As a matter of fact I was at this very show. There is nothing in the world quite like a Grateful Dead, but I’ve never felt freer then, a janes addiction concert, They hold your key and turn your note, I love them I mean it’s so so serious, like bits of puzzle fitting each other. And that makes me 1%

[@amerishape]

Jane's Addiction is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band's original lineup consisted of vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins. They are known for blending alternative rock, punk, and metal influences into their music, and for their dynamic live performances. "Jane Says" is a song by Jane's Addiction, released on their 1987 self-titled debut album. The song is a poignant acoustic ballad, featuring lyrics about a woman named Jane who is struggling with drug addiction and homelessness. Despite the serious subject matter, the song has a catchy melody and has become one of the band's most popular and enduring songs. It has been covered by numerous artists and has been featured in films and TV shows.

There was the early nineties, 90-94, and the late nineties, 96-99. Jane’s Addiction was one of those bands that defined the Early Nineties. What an incredible five years of music.

[@patricksayers1]

Exactly, and this was 1997, so there were all these report that they had broken up. Obviously the bassist wasn't playing this show, that's why they got Flea, but Dave, Perry and the gang were all in top form.
