Jane's Addiction - Milan, Italy - 10.11.90 - Pro Shot Master - HD (3 Songs)

[@sarahemikula]

A time that can never be replicated. Life changing for me at the time. When Perry still had SUCH range. A high functioning addict and artist at that time. We all age (hopefully), grow and change thankfully but this right here was really something to see. Thankful to have seen them a few times back then.

[@pearlharbour3300]

just watched them at the roadhouse london..was fantastic

[@XKXKIXKXK]

​@@pearlharbour3300I watched that show, too, to see if I wanted to catch the 2024 tour in the States. I am sooooo going. So much better than the tours 10-15 years ago. And both Eric and Dave will be there. Definitely going....plus, I love Love & Rockets.

[@domnader]

Very well put. 100% same sentiment.

[@SkipTwo]

So ahead of their time in many ways. Such raw energy and power in their performance. Wow!

[@BlueHopi144]

the Pixies & Janes addiction were phenomenal on stage around 1990

[@carlo_cali]

You're right Bro. It sux to have to say it bc they were my fav band at one time. I saw them during the Ritual Tour I think in April of 91' I think it was. It was crazy bc it was the first time we saw Perry when he cut off his dreads. He had a crew cut or Cesar type of cut, wife beater, those khaki type pants the Mexicano's used to wear, and he had a fedora type hat or Cuban type. I rememberbeing a little disappointed bc they didnt play 'Ted Just Admit it'. I boughg Porno For Pyros, but that was the end of my interest in anything they put out. After Eric A. left it just could never be the same. J.A. was one of those bands that just had the right mix of guys, at the right time and there was nothing even close to their sound or style at the time.@takecareofyourshoess

[@kat1york]

One of the loves of my life, musically. ❤

[@TNK000]

This performance is a breathing piece of art. I keep coming back to it. It seems Perry had effects set up to project a specific mood. Were there fans pointed at them? They look like they’re floating, levitating even. Eric looks airy and ethereal - the combination of his slow gyrating moves, purple dreads, and uninhibited youthful energy. Dave is a quiet powerhouse. Behind his shades, a dark force lies in wait to zap lightning through his guitar strings when you least expect it. Stephen is probably not a person. He’s a collection of air molecules that are only capable of feeling unbridled joy. He makes the drums sound as bouncy and spacious as a xylophone. And the intonation and inflection in Perry’s vocals just blasts you through cosmic rings of angel dust. Not forgetting his id on full display in all its glory at 7:02. He conducts the orchestra and he knows it. Jane’s Addiction at this point in time weren’t a band. They were a glitch in the Anthropocene to disrupt the fabric of reality, so we can feel a mushroom cloud of the most potent of human emotions erupt from our toes and straight out of our brains.

[@fonkypluma2509]

Dave Navarro was one of the best of the world in those days...he was so young and showing the most elegant and realy alternative...there is not any originality like this one any more (28 years period of rock if we dont take in count Mars Volta) the Jannes Addiction think and the Peppers of course

[@feliciameshach107]

Mars Volta for sure.

[@G.L.O.S.S.]

Bolta and RHCP? LMAO

[@billium99]

One Hot Minute, in my opinion, has become the best RHCP album since Uplift Mofo in no small part because of the creative infusion of Navarro's guitars. It kills me that the Peppers distance themselves from that project and don't play any of the bangers from it.

[@RaymondKerr-s9z]

❤ I saw them on this tour when they played Edinburgh. Best live band I ever did see

As exceptional as this recording is, seeing them live at this time in history was like no other show I have ever witnessed. Like you were in another demension, cosmic

[@auralepiphanies4055]

Yes!! It was like a religious experience for me and my friend. Best show of all shows I've ever seen. My friend saw them a year before in 1989? in Dallas and it was a total riot, people went completely out of control. Miss those days....

[@bleeone]

Had a vhs bootleg of this Milan performance back in the day when vhs was still a thing… this is Jane’s at their absolute best. Dynamic, in sync, and electric. When they were ON, no band held a candle to them… they brought a brilliance to the stage that made an arena show feel as intimate as a dive bar.

@@Mrbrownstone1028 GNR did not age well. Sounds dated now. I used to like them back those days. By the time I graduated high school in 1997 GNR were a relic. Jane’s Addiction never has sounded dated. Here I am at 44 still going back. They are as timeless and classic as the real deal greats of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. GNR makes me cringe now.

[@erickjason9092]

I had tickets to see Janes Addiction at Madison Square Garden in their prime, I was so psyched! I absolutely loved JA. Then I took a hit off a strangers joint while waiting for the show. When the show started, the entire arena started moving rhythmically. Then they came onstage and the arena was bathed in red, and the drums beat hypnotically and the entire place erupted in in some kind of tribal trancelike dance. Thanks to that stupid joint, I got so freaked out. It looked so demonic and evil that I had to leave. I thought it was just me, but my girlfriend felt the same way too. That was the last time I ever took a hit off of a stranger's joint. I think it was laced with something (Angel Dust was popular at the time), because I ended up having to leave the arena entirely and get some fresh air, I got so scared. Long story short. I missed seeing Janes Addiction when they were in thier prime and I regret it to this day.

[@theyearoftherat]

He simply isn't interested in making music like "Superhero" and add to that Perry's alleged ego and hunger for control I can't blame him. "Avery: To be fair, I could see how he wanted more than an equal split, certainly. And where we wound up was, we gave him twice as much as any other member, and then we split what was left amongst the rest of us. That was consistent with Perry always going forward to this day. When it comes to money and stuff like that, he's pretty aggressively self-interested. I remember famously Dave played one of our shows after that and put on a t-shirt that said “12%” or something, because that was the amount that was going to be left for him in Perry's system. So it left some resentment, for sure." www.billboard.com/articles/columns/rock/8471762/janes-addiction-nothings-shocking-oral-history-30th-anniversary

Missed them on the Nothings Shocking tour - turned up at 2 of the gigs but couldn't get in... Saw most of the UK leg of the Ritual de Lo Habitual tour though. Parry had cut his hair short and started wearing Chinos by then. Stage set was like the album cover, with voodoo stuff and candles on the amps. Guest fiddler on some of the songs and probably the most memorable shows I ever saw in the 90s. Best band of their generation. Grunge was a monochrome dull downgrade to the psychedelic kaleidoscope soundscape of JA.
