"Am i putting you f*** to sleep?" Actually it was all the beer we drank in the sun all day!

[@cadilacdesert]

Holy crap I was at this concert!, Janes stopped playing ! Perry got all personal with the crowd and quit. Temps were so hot and everybody was tripping on acid.

[@nowthen3275]

Awesome hot day at Compton Terrace, what a party! Perry and Dave got in a fight on stage and Dave smashed his guitar and stormed off! The band kept playing without him and he came back and tried to play with the busted up guitar and then tossed it and bailed again, classic! Iced T and Body Count was great that day, they blew the crowd away. NIN smashed their amps and instruments when they had sound problems at the beginning of their set. Fun day out in desert for sure! 🌵🎸💪

" cocaine is a helluva drug " Rick Jameson's

[@Macebadfellow]

I remember was one hell of a day... best day

[@BruceBowman42]

awesome

[@jroe986]

I was there. Great show! The beginning of it all!

[@sebigrippen]

It was hot as hell that day, we got there when Butthole was on. Souxie and the Banshees was pretty good also.

[@yogijaya2897]

She was unavailable for this one on east coast.. Sickness sux

[@hotlanta35]

She played in Atlanta, probably the best band there

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

Oh Stephen... and his curls 😍

[@kevinb7126]

Saw him with Porno last month , no more curls but still plays like he’s on fire .

[@michaelyuscavage3110]

Absolutely awesome show. I didn't see this one but I saw the Stanhope, NJ show. Loved the entire lineup and the start of festivals that would be so popular afterwards.

[@daniel0-01]

Ah yes, the show that got perry in trouble and dave tackled. Brotherly love...

[@melissahall2530]

I was there. 17 years old. Hot af that day! I was excited to see MTV there in Phoenix at Compton Terrace now gone

[@kristenherman4609]

I was there, too. Also 17 years old. I'm going back this year with my 19 (almost 20) year old daughter on the last day.

[@clubberdang3955]

Ditto, was there @17 just graduated high school

[@mbms2697]

It was an awesome day in the hot as balls day at Compton Terrace! Living Colour was outstanding!

[@melissahall2530]

Drummer is the sh*t

[@kevingumfory]

I seen #1 at the starplex in dallas. We were in the 6th row. It was hellishly heavenly. Best show ive ever seen. Cop Killer pit was ...... beyond words. What a wonderful life. Ty Perry.

[@johnaldabbagh6870]

Went to this show in Tempe at the last minute w/my friend Paige...so worth it Ice-t cop killah lol hell yeah Drinking screw drivers and tripping balls on orange Sunshine all day and all night What the Dr ordered How bout them lines to the restroom ha ha

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

After all the shit that happened that day, both to the equipment because of the AZ heat they weren’t prepared for (nobody ever is, apparently not even folks from LA), and then between Dave and Perry, I’m surprised they finished the show, much less got on stage in the first place. To Perry’s and Ted Gardner’s (their manager, RIP) credit though, the tour (which really hadn’t been done before, at least one with its size and scope) never had another hiccup that year. Unfortunately, to this day the band still never gets the credit they deserve.

[@pshroom2881]

hey i was there tripping on acid!!!! it wasnt in tempe, it was at a cool ass spot called compton terrace. on the Gila River Indian Rez! right off the I10.

[@mortyc1375]

P Shroom i just might happen to know someone who was there tripping on mushrooms and got freaked out by all the goths 😂

[@Krusen1022]

This was the very first date Lollapalooza ever. They tore down that venue and it's a dirt race track now near Firebird Lake.

[@K3vinK]

Came here thinking I’d see the fist fight. 😆

[@sophiagarza8222]

Naw, that was during the last song

[@hotlanta35]

Steve Perkins was the best drummer of that era

[@christheghostwriter]

One of the best of any era

[@jamescotner2459]

Oh my! Me too friends. Remember the fires in the crowd? I remember Tool being there also, right? I was flying on Uncle Cids coat tails. What a day aaaaaaaahhhh

[@oldschoolpunkguy1]

Tool first appearance on the Lalapalooza tour was in 1993, this was 1991.

[@jamescotner2459]

@@oldschoolpunkguy1 ok, I'll go with that. I went to #3 at Compton Terrace also. Primus headlined and Alice in Chains played, awesome again.

[@elyaqui5324]

Yea dude I think that was 93-94

[@hotlanta35]

Saw them in Atlanta on this tour

[@pshroom2881]

cool shit, thanks for posting!

[@ourvideos18]

I was there great great show

[@MLCrow]

The drumming in the beginning reminds me of Nightflight to Venus by Boney M

[@HiGlowie]

Boney M!

[@franklinloll2229]

When Perry could sing. Excellent.

[@theseattlegreen1871]

Perry can still sing. If you had any respect for this man you wouldn't be commenting negativity like that. The dude is almost 70 years old. Give him a break bro. Where is your music and multi-platinum selling albums?

[@solangegaecia7767]

​@@theseattlegreen1871falou a verdade,parabéns à nós viciados em Janes!!!

[@transienting3859]

I was there!!... I think!... Its all a haze now a daze

[@carljules3123]

Alex Castino, Could you put the MTV uncut footage of the Siouxsie And The Banshees performance if you have it, please ? Thanks

[@abraxasaguilera1928]

NIN quit 15 minutes into their set. Perry & Dave got into a fist fight on stage.

[@ginaatkinson1468]

Abraxas Aguilera That would be somewhat amusing to watch though 🤔

[@pjbenedict]

Two bumps in an amazing show. Rollins was mind-blowing, Butthole Surfers were weird as hell, Ice-T & Body Count delivered. Great stuff.

[@user-uo1qr6vn1q]

Saw the show when they came through NY state. Rollins was walking around in the crowd and talking to kids after he played. Gibby Haynes was shooting a shotgun into the air. Body Count had thousands of kids singing “Cop Killer.” Trent Reznor set their drum kit on fire. Living Colour’s vocalist sounded absolutely fantastic, even after diving off the lighting rigging into the crowd. When Janes came on, it felt like an goddamned earthquake. And Perry and Ice T did Sly and the Family Stone’s “Don’t Call Me Ni**a, Whitey.” Even though I was a young kid and I’d see many more shows in my lifetime, very few were more memorable.

[@hotlanta35]

Yeah he did that in Atlanta too

[@sidneymartin7346]

Hmmm. He did that as well in Cleveland.🤔 Told everyone to fuck off and left the stage.

[@technohauteculture2818]

Is this from the MTV vault? Certainly looks like the footage 120 Minutes and MTV News aired at the time of this show. Thanks for uploading this!

[@K3vinK]

Thought the same thing.

[@angster4267]

Wouldn’t doubt it

[@ReeseChown]

I saw an excerpt of "Standing in the Shower Thinking" from this show used in the 2002 MTV documentary "The History of the Mosh Pit". You're exactly right my friend

[@patton303]

I was here. NIN’s gear overheated. Henry Rollins puked on stage. Jane’s got into a fistfight. The following year was way better. RHCP, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Ministry. Great times!

[@Greensbororoadsideassistance]

Perry is 60 yrs old now. How the fuck did that happen??

[@carlo_cali]

And he's got all that botox and a funny hair cut. He even wears gay sash's around his neck. They always said he was from Queens originally, but he's really from Woodmere I read and that's in Long Island "5 Towns Area". Peretz Bernstein.

[@serotoninsyndrome]

The inexorable and unrelenting flow of Time. The Great Equalizer.

[@brettcadigan6524]

My buddy and I went in Chandler and we were on the front page of the Phoenix Gazette the next day and I lost a newspaper and can't find it anywhere we had our shirts off and we were dancing damn wish I could find that newspaper

[@laurasnyder6659]

I was there too! Later word for az republic. You can get that paper. Archive everything there! Contact them.

[@astraluna6is9]

Dude, just call the Phoenix Gazette and ask for the archives office.

[@davidhill2212]

I beleve this was the stop for Lalapalesa where NIN equtmant fride and had leve the tour.

[@LSUOdyssey]

sound is awful, you can hear the PA delaying the snare and stuff...with the heat, it would be insane. No wonder NIN also lost their shit and freaked out. Stupid to schedule a show in TEMPE in July....there's better locales in Arizona that would provide less extreme temps

[@jamescotner2459]

Where’s the rest of the show, when Dave threw his guitars in the crowd?

[@hotlanta35]

I forgot the name of that first song they opened with

[@Ritualdejess]

up the beach

[@BruceBowman42]

CHIP AWAY

[@cadilacdesert]

Nothing Shocking

[@DR.DisInfect]

Have you seen my wig around

[@theseattlegreen1871]

I feel nay-kid withouttttt it

[@RavnerRavner]

Perry tried the Pachuco look there for a bit.

[@brettcadigan6524]

That was a good show f*** Nine Inch Nails who cares

[@pickle5051]

I was there
