Jane's Addiction - Ted Just Admit It - UCSB 5-6-89

[@hammer95618]

This is the Janes I adore and remember the most, so reckless, unpredictable, creative. It was like an out of control circus of sex, drugs and drugs. Great times that will NEVER be recaptured by any band............

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

[@TheDas9582]

How could you not be mesmerized by this band?

[@joshthalheimer]

You could not... 🦦

[@paulzbaymoon]

My first Jane's show... so happy it's online to share with my child! But seriously, an awesome show... fan for life after this!

[@martinover7927]

I was there too. It was a free show! This was, as you know, before cell phones etc. We found out about this last minute, by word of mouth in IV.

[@berserkers88]

@@martinover7927me three, fellow Gauchos! Great show, great album!

[@3cs3hs]

you can tell by the audience how for ahead of their time Janes was. The crowd is full of mullets, ponytails, and people that had no clue what they were actually experiencing in the moment.

[@Kozak-ys8cb]

My friend Tony gave me a copy of this DVD back in 87 or 88. Use to play it all the time!..especially when trippin' or coming down from. Thank u Tony

[@murderface74]

Janes is one of my favorite bands. This is some awsome footage. In 1989, I was a freshman in highschool, Im from Texas so, I did nt hear about them till the next year1990, and then Lalapalooza was 91. Wow, Im fucking old. Thanks ass hole for the video.

[@WhiteWizzard]

Closest thing to Led Zeppelin the next Gen got. The best Hard Rock band at that time -from 88-91 Janes was untouchable. I saw them in SF in 1990 and it was like a religious experience. All 4 guys elevate together and it was pure alchemy.

[@absolute141]

i was born on this day... haha

[@berserkers88]

Nice! I was there the day you were born.

[@mergingmarky8274]

One of the funniest Perry intro rants I heard

[@IgnatiusChinaski]

This was my fav band as a kid. Spring 89 was an impossibly good tour. 4 absolutely incredible musicians. Perry’s behavior got all the attention (rightfully so) but Dave, Stephen and Eric were legendary at this time.

[@NAIVADA]

GREATEST MOST UNIQUE BAND EVER Jane's Addiction ! wow but Ive just got that this song "Ted just admit it" was about Ted fucking Bundy..! man do I feel so much less ignorant now :D thanksss youtube

[@Ranaldo20]

This song always rocks my fucking face off.

[@programmedwrong3795]

So Fucking cool! This is The real Jane's addiction! Or,as Eric Avery calls it, Jane's 1.0.

[@loserbabysowhydontyo]

navarro was on fire at this point in his career. no other guitarist, with the exception of randy rhoads, accomplished so much at such an early age

[@gigrant74]

EVH

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

@@gigrant74nope, Eddie was an old man when he made it compared to Dave. Dave was 17 when he joined, and Perry was almost 30.

[@gigrant74]

@@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec Eddie was not an old man. He was 19 when he formed Mammouth and 22 when Warner Bros signed them. Dave was 19 when he joined Jane’s and signed a major label at a younger age than Eddie, but from there Eddie took off at a level beyond Dave’s wet dreams. Dave will agree with this. But Dave deserves respect and I’m not trying to take anything away from him. Facts are facts.

[@gigrant74]

Look at wiki if you don’t trust my dates on Dave. Born in ‘67 and joined Jane’s in 86. Perry was older than the rest for sure.

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

@@gigrant74 all I said is Dave accomplished more at an earlier age. He had finished 3 albums, two of them went multi-platinum and considered classics, and Jane’s was about to break up when Van Halen broke with their first album. Obviously Van Halen is one of the biggest bands on the planet, and commercially eclipsed them later . You sound resentful? Can’t you be objective for once in your life?

[@TheBille94]

This is some dope shit...Nothing's Shocking!

[@rogerwalters9557]

Thanks for uploading this. Janes when they were pure and raw.

[@fredsnake13]

Janes Addiction rocks!

[@goetia13]

cool show..i still have an old videotape of this concert somewhere..

[@penfifteen666]

I was at this gig.......fuuuuuuck.

[@martinover7927]

Me too. I just searched for it, just in case there was video of it. Free show, paid for by the Associated Student Body, or whatever it was called. I’ll never forget when Perry pretended to panhandle the crowd at the end, saying, “Spare change?”

[@berserkers88]

@@martinover7927yes I couldn’t believe I was watching my favorite band for free. The best gift ever given to a Gaucho!

[@eelized]

Amo Jane’s, uma das minhas bandas preferidas na adolescência, obrigado por compartilhar essa raridade! Essa música e essa apresentação mostra o quanto eles eram evoluídos para aquela época! ✌🏻🇧🇷

[@beattodeath]

On the edge of Isla Vista, remember it well

[@bestkepsecret]

how about a birkenstock... haha! i love ja

[@KLAYCO47]

Why is it where i live nobody has herd of janes???? sucks im all alone here with this amazing music.

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

LA, New York, cultural centers people have heard of Jane’s. Cultural wastelands, not so much.

[@avedic]

It's crazy to think Perry was 30 in this video. He's got more style youth and charisma flowing out of him than any of the dull teens and early 20 somethings in the crowd.

[@evanabbott2737]

@PanamintPatty I’m sure you’ve got plenty of style and charisma...!😁👍

[@thejackgreenproject]

i was there. ran into rick ibbs randomly. stayed with the wonderfuls.

[@pekerdalton]

i saw them in brisbane in 91 till this day i,ve havent seen a band that can play better live

[@mcv3igh]

fyuking awesome sac, keep them comin....definately feel a personal janes relapse coming on....its a dark world, lol

[@mergingmarky8274]

Oh the sarcasm..once agn I as I wrote that b4 on Ted..) -But the fact that there's (I think a Harvard) Professor that has a whole ciriculum based on Perry's Lyrics is awesome...true story kids..😉🎶👆

[@rogerhumanbeing]

I've always thought that Jane's Addiction was a perfect band. Perry is the ideal front guy, all of the music is so on point, everything is just great. This video really shows how they trailblazed a bit back then. It was a new stab at people, considering where music was going after the 80's. I think that people were used to punk rip offs or not so great metal. Jane's Addiction really came through!

[@mrfloosak]

Hey That's me at 1:25. Perry made fun of me. Said I was from an Ozzy Osbourne show. I was so smashed in front i had to get out. That was a very fun show. Mary's Danish opened. I think Perry was tripping on the college crowd a bit. It wasn't his usual artsy crowd. Best Band ever.

[@Lcacique]

Great Post THANK YOU!!! Gave me several flashbacks!!!

[@penfifteen666]

I have the vid of this show somewhere...i was vaguely aware of JA at this point but became rabid within a year.....this was my first time seeing them.

[@JeremyFerrickSongs]

Amazing man.

[@penfifteen666]

@sweathush I have the wholething on VHS somewhere...Marys Danish and toad the wet sprocket also played

[@skaterchuckpdx]

penfifteen666 nice! I was there too. Such an epic show and free, right? Burning Couches was killer too.

[@penfifteen666]

@eskimoposh I saw him 2 yrs later at the Graduate in IV playing with Infectious grooves...robert trujillo on bass....it was perks 23rd bitrthday...so ahead of his time

[@decadentcherub]

its really cool seeing them like this, hate how much of a hippy perrys turned into

[@TomFromJersey]

Or Santa Barbara, California - as it says.

Actually it’s closer to Isla Vista than Santa Barbara.

jane's r gods

[@carlo_cali]

Yeah I've been looking at some of the comments and they mentioned something I've noticed at a few of their shitty performances. The audience look like a bunch of clowns that just got free tickets. Mind you Janes is one of my fav groups, but I don't like this at all. Shit 89' I was a skater in NYC. And let's keep it 100, at least for me only their first three albums were good. Amazing thing is Triple X was live and was so good. I saw the video where Perry said W.B 's took all his creativity. Nah Bro, the money you made did that and that yearning for something was gone before Ritual was even finished. Not to mention he pulled a real Hollywood move by claiming 50% or more of all $ and the other 3 got like a little more than 12%. And I don't know what I saw some Hollywood band that out out some straight garbage. Platinum pants with like platforms and a funny haircut and can't leave out that botox. Omfg and the that way overpriced box set. Even the title "The Glitz, the Glamour". I wouldn't buy that from Etsy for $10. It's sad. When I saw him at MSG and it was the first time any of us had seen this look, Green Dreads gone, but he pulled it off with a ceasar, wife beater, and khakis. Straight Mexican gangsta. But he rocked while drinking Red Wine 🍷 like a G. Kinda like when they performed in Milan "Then She Did". That's the Janes that real m.f.'er's Love Not some corny ass "Immersive Entertainment Complex" he did in Vegas. So fuckin' lame. After the first Lolla, he should have retired, collected that bank and just chilled. Porno's For Pyros wasn't bad, I liked it somewhat. I think a lot of hard core fans felt this way after Ritual. It just went down hill on ice after that. Alot of iconic bands do this, but Peretz personified what he claimed to hate.

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

Most crowds were hostile to bands “I never heard of” most people aren’t music fans and don’t appreciate underground music, cutting edge, or even new music. Most people like music 10 years ago, mega stars. Most kids today listen to mostly Drake who is a got dam old man long past his prime . Most people…. Are for the livestock.

I love Jane's and saw them live in like 91' at MSG. Ted is also one of my fav's that they didn't play at MSG that night, but this is a god awful performance. That's the truth.
