"He was trying to teach me something. And now I know what it was; and now what I know what it meant..." You know, growing up with a Jewish background, this song literally brings me back to what must've been the most infantile point of my life - completely vulnerable and ignorant of the world. It reminds me of how festive life was through my eyes, much like the music itself. My parents used to put me to sleep with this song in particular. I relate to Perry here on a very personal level.

[@michaelchevalier9777]

Hey buddy, thanks for this deep comment -- hope all's well in your world 11 years later

[@Erik-em3iw]

Slap today's music. We were fortunate to have brains like Bernstein perry.. fan since 90.. ✌️

[@cjackfly]

Simon. 😆

[@tylerstamps2786]

Very nice! I’ve never seen this tune performed live before...has to be pretty rarified air. Janes was really something else back in the day. 👍

[@Cloughjordan23]

Especially with the violin player present. I saw the ritual uk your and she wasn't there for the first couple gigs but arrived halfway thru the tour.

[@permaveg]

With Eric A on board they were the greatest R+R band in this world.

[@chrisodonnell9701]

nuff said.

[@75harg]

my favorite janes song,,,and thats a very very hard thing to do,,when you grow up listen to this amazing music,,,,,timeless,,thanks to you tube and to sac71837..forever

[@Furtivo95]

why is ALL early footage of Jane's Addiction is of the poorest sound and visual quality? Yet we have millions of hours of amazing footage of the 60's groups....... It seems to me, the 60's generation were much more excited about witnessing their music as it was happening. By the time the late 80's came, people at clubs were complacent to understand how magical these guys were. Pharell was the rarest musical gypsy to ever rock the mic in any generation.

[@abraxasaguilera1928]

Because all the 80's stuff is on videotape. All the 60's stuff is on film.

[@jestermindcrime1773]

besides this is the way to see them , as raw as they were live

[@LSUOdyssey]

truth couldn't be more opposite actually, look at a band like Zeppelin...not even close to as represented visually as Jane's. The list goes on and on of those 60s and 70s acts. They were usually rushing through everything and doing loads of drugs to have a moment to plan filming, that's why we have the one live film per band they did or were forced into letting be filmed or were secretly shot or were shot for the arena etc tooooons of Jane's gigs were filmed in the early days, more leak out all the time bro!

[@cjackfly]

@@abraxasaguilera1928 ...and 80's stuff that is good was underground. Comparatively.

[@ih8l8nc]

OMFG! I was at this show. I was standing between the violin player and Dave Navarro who is immediately to her stage left. I have repeatedly told people this was the best concert I ever went to in my life! There is a decent chance I am *in* the wide shots!

[@psybrian7118]

I was also there,magic show!

[@psybrian7118]

I was at this show,magic!!

[@josm75]

Cool

[@DjBesaM]

@@josm75 at least, one of us.. :))

[@ladykismet3568]

Saw this tour and it was transcendent. Thank you for this. I miss you, Leigh.

[@Permingo3]

Brilliant.Thanks for posting this rarely-played-live song.Like Metallicaroc & sharkboner, this song never astounded me during that time - was maybe too weird for me back then? One of my faves now. This was the year I graduated HS, and saw them play at MSG in NYC, probably a month or so after this.The band members seemed barely aware of where they wereI thought they were just drunk didnt know what being on heroin looked like at that time.The stage set looked like a living room. Unforgettable.

[@dreat5665]

Pretty sad how bad his voice got

[@nmeau]

Wish the audio was better - must have been amazing

[@scorpiotimothy]

when i saw them @ the 1st lollapalooza @ Toronto steve perkins(drummer) looked like his head was on fire, maybe it was the acid...who cares...

[@robashlicarrafa4876]

I used to have this concert live on one of those cd-r bootleg albums ha ha. I played it until I wore out

[@Christophersean11]

An Incandescent Moonlight Road which happened upon a weary traveler awoke late one night in his sisters dress and revealed unto him a second guess...

[@juaco70]

great song.. Never seen it in live version. thanks!!

[@slmmdgg]

she kills it on the fiddle

[@binkmn13]

[@TECHNOID69]

@JohnnyPlaysRock lol @ tape.i had one i played out. eventually bought the cd..which got nicked or not returned a few times.have bought it about 4 times i think.and album you cant do without for sure.

[@endtables]

What we really need to see is the footage of them recording ritual!

[@AllOuttaBubblegum123]

Yes. Only see parts of it in the Gift movie.

[@stevenashmore4522]

Never though this song would translate live, but it's just as great as it should be.

[@metallicaroc]

@sharkboner Totally agree man. I'd never really paid tha much attention to it when listening to the album but this year it just hit me all of a sudden and it's amazing.

[@ditanya37]

One of the sexiest song ever

[@AllOuttaBubblegum123]

Anyone who knows, knows how crazy things can get when your trying to score lol.

[@floydblandston108]

Peak 20th century Dadaism reborn for the 21st.

[@cjackfly]

Those were the days... Edit for; Stevens hair!!!

[@VisciousPhishes]

That is not a fiddle.

[@nachol7270]

could be the anthem of wall street. In a funny way

[@theremixphilly]

she killed it (in a great way that is)

[@finbah5706]

Morgan Fichter on violin

[@MudtoyTT]

Saw them live...

[@brianmccabe2434]

Anybody got a name/link for the violinist?

[@mikemckelvey5062]

This is great and lo-fi. Could run the audio through a master program and re-dub it.

[@veniyanwarrior]

Absolutely perfect. Eternal thanks.

Dope

[@cadidliac]

@MrSuperdico Perry didn't write all Jane's songs. Not sure about this one. Eric A. wrote the majority I believe.

[@zeplova87]

Not only did perry write this song. Eric refused to play on it on the album. He certainly did not write it, he’s not even on it! Check the liner notes for the album. Pretty sure the producer or someone had to lay down the bass track.

[@lokombiano2007]

I was only 5 years old. I wish I had been an adult by then and been at that place

[@danmurphy4724]

How's that feel Dave.

[@beastlysquash1203]

?

[@BubbaZen10]

It was much different for me for this tour. I don't remember him playing the little accordion.

[@cjackfly]

That means you were there. 😄

[@ih8l8nc]

Correction: I was between Eric Avery and the violin player. Against the stage,

[@mcv3igh]

legend...i really hope they play it now that they have reunited.

[@Bananinasdasd]

when i was a boy, my big brother held on to my hand

[@ynotfalco]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I have not seen this in so long.

[@xXminXxi]

i was there at the toronto show, we tore the chairs up and piled them at the side of the stage it was awesome. they had to stop the show until teh chairs were out of the way

[@FabrizioPedrotti]
