The anticipation of seeing your favorite band. Then Running to get closer, man what a great feeling!! Some people will never know this .

[@davidfinlay8012]

Mucho love for Eric avery! Not seen a bass player like him for ever. That's the guy you want in your band. Hope he's well and happy.

[@biancachristie]

Agreed! He's one of my all time favorites. He is doing well. Rumors are going around, again, about a reunion with Eric, and he says he has some new music for the project. Wouldn't that be something? I'm not holding my breath because he and Perry haven't been able to do it yet--but mayve they'll finally do it. 32 years and counting . . . .

[@christheghostwriter]

@@biancachristie he recently tweeted or 'grammed a pic of himself with PF in the background

[@jmillz713]

Eric is back. See JA in 2024 with Eric, Dave, Perry and Stephen.

[@chrisodonnell9701]

yep this is when Janes was Janes, when Casey and Perry were still together and very much in love and Eric was still on bass, still a long ways away from the day when his disgust for Perry finally trumped the passionate love he had in his heart for this band...he was a huge fan of their artistic collaborative efforts, each member of the team pouring everything they had into making Jane's Addiction into the Janes Fucking Addiction we all know and love, with their vision seared deeply into the very fabric of all true life long fans, and this belief in creative equality was a corner stone in Eric's justification of walking away, pride shattered and terribly broken hearted, from the musical love of his life, an achievement he to this day is so incredibly proud of, as he should, and has every right to be, then now and forever...but at that time, on that blank canvas of an LA night ....all was well on earth, in heaven and hell, all was well, all was well.

[@amywebster8134]

damn! could not have said that better

[@blahblah606]

The greatest band I ever saw live. Unfortunately couldn't get in to the Nothing's Shocking show as it was 18+ but saw them 3 times on the Ritual tour. Blew my 15 year old mind!

[@sonicmojo]

I was there! I got to see three of the seven nights!

[@Rubberbandfan1]

I was only eight years old when this shit happened, but I was already a fan of Jane's Addiction thanks to my older sister and MTV.

[@illmsg77]

yeah, I was 11 and was a huge fan. Had no idea what he was talking about but man I fuckin LOVED em.

[@rudyrodriguez2205]

Fuck yeah. I was there at that show! I still love Jane's addiction. I was fried outta my mind! It was perfect

[@JB-qt3wo]

Haha, nice man. Wish i was alive back then.

[@nerigarcia7116]

I was at that show! So rad.

[@nicoladouglas3270]

Just 19 yes and 51 now!!!what the Hell happened?

[@TheCenterSpirit]

im just truly discovering this band. the thing about this band is that they have supernatural powers.

[@BubblesBubbles]

I have to agree. On the first album (1987) they were way beyond anyone ever. Everything after only cemented that genius.

[@mojoi_iv_v7_i975]

I've been a 'Jane's fan since the late 80's. I have been fortunate enough to be able to see them live three times. Twice on the Ritual De Lo Habitual tour and once about 10 years ago. All three were magical experiences for different reasons. Their music is basically the sound track of my late teens and early twenty's. Thanks for posting this.

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

Very welcome, it was an excellent show

[@Mateiko108]

Amazing energy, so so different as the most of rock bands of late 80's. Legends. I Like how Stephen drumming sounds. Thanks for sharing dude!

[@danu6718]

Those drums and bass lines... It's great that we can hear the bass. I seen them in '91. They were the most newest heavy psychadelic rock I had heard at the time. All these new videos being released are excellent. This is why we loved them...

[@jromasterofone]

By now, they were a fine wine at it's prime. Thanks for sharing! My 'addicted' story: Boulder Co., 1989, the band had just stopped 'Stop'. I climbed up on stage, smiled at the band and gave a thumbs-up before I did a back dive. Fell flat on my back, as no one caught me. Paying for it now, lemme tell ya!

[@rmiddlehouse]

Perry wrote one of the truest lyrics in rock and roll history. "The gangs and the government are no different ". So effing true .

[@b500l]

Damn, I was 13 when this happened, loved this early era of them, the freaky dont give a fuck almost thrift shop look, all on drugs ( probably) and brilliance of their first 3 albums. Dave was just a quiet guitar player rather than a media personality.It was the hottest ticket in London when they toured the UK for Ritual, playing the legendary Marquee. Even the snobbish NME said "sell your mother for a ticket" and for once, they were right. Keep the vids coming, of any band of the 80's 90, please, well worth watching, raid the vault!

[@cyhermann7147]

So cool best band ever Thanks so much for sharing

[@superjanesaddiction]

I saw them at The Astoria London in October 1990 and Brixton Academy March 1991 on the Ritual De Lo Habitual tour. Astonishing gigs! Seen them many times since but those were just epic!! 🎸🤘

[@VaughnBrown1965]

This is around the time I first saw them. I had been listening to them then they came to a small club in Portland and their show was a religious experience. Perry had pink dreads and Dave’s hair was green

[@peterjonas4971]

I saw this tour in Washington, D.C. So damn good

[@ixxgxx]

I remember at the Moore theater Seattle show, Perry grabbed a strap on, strapped it to his head and started po go ing.

Man Perkins drums! It's like you're riding a fucking Clydesdale into a viking battle on mushrooms.

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

right, exactly

[@ER_aka_RAM]

What a treat! This was my 1st of 4 shows before they called it quits after Lollapalooza. 89 Visage Nightclub in Orlando, FL. This was still the Nothings Shocking era, Ritual touring started in 90-91 from what I recall...

[@WorldRockumentaryChannel]

They started ritual in June of 1989, Perry mentions it in the full set we uploaded of this show, the Ritual sign is hanging up above the stage. Ritual was delayed if I remember correctly.

[@ER_aka_RAM]

[@jasonstack122]

I saw them in Gainsville fl on drugs x

[@Jaqsgurl]

i was there also. first saw iat JANNUS landing . '86?

[@carlo_cali]

Saw them in 91' in nYc and I was very young. I thought they were one of the best bands and the Triple X, Nothing's Shocking, and Ritual are still three of my favorite albums of all time. I went through some rough times with drugs and stuff and hadn't heard them in a while and I like having physical CD's so I got them along with so other stuff and ordered CD tape player a while back. I listen to a lot of different music, so I had some stuff that survived and found it at my Mom's house when she sold it and I brought it home. A lot of tapes bc we took a family trip to Canada and I had a Walkman and found Cure tapes, Siouxsie tapes and some others and they were all black in Canada for some reason. Then only my two classical tapes worked it the player and I didn't want to risk breaking something that can't be replaced. Now the CD player went out and I can't listen to anything at home. JA were great for some many of us coming up, but I really hate who perry has turned out to be. Like the whole atmosphere of that "Just Because" video with his lame clothes and funny hair cut; it's like who is this guy and okay fjine, he can't only have green dreads, but this is just something else and it's offensive. The first P4P was the last album I bought from them. There show in Milan back in the day was when they were on top of their game. It's strange but once Casey and Perry split it was over.

" SAY NO TO DRUGS JANE "

[@christheghostwriter]

If you haven't seen it, look for the 1990 Milan show. There are a few copies of the complete show on YT, but they're multigenerational VHS dubs. However, there's a 3 song clip of the same show (with Whores, Then She Did, and Three Days) that's really high quality. Clean, clear picture and equally pristine audio. It's my favorite JA video, they just sound perfect on it

[@allsystemsgo8678]

How is this from the Ritual tour? It's from 1989. Ritual came out at the end of 1990.

[@davidtingley9978]

This wasn't the Ritual tour (but there were many Ritual songs in the set) This was still the Nothing's Shocking tour. ritual wouldn't hit the shelves for another 15 months.

This footage is from the Nothing's Shocking tour, not Ritual de lo Habitual.

They had their Ritual de lo Habitual banner flying over their stage. It was the kick off shows of Seven in a row for their recording of Ritual which they started in June of 1989.

[@wizardofblahs]

@@WorldRockumentaryChannel So that means this show happened 2 months before the beginning of recording for the album. Therefore, not the Ritual Tour.

@@wizardofblahs Okay if you say so. We were there filming this show, we know what we witnessed. It was a series of seven nights it was the kick off to Ritual.
