Jane's Addiction - Three Days {Live In Milan} 10-11-90 [HQ]

[@jocorocket]

One of the best rock songs written ever...period.

[@infowazz]

i remember driving home from a party on a half hit of acid. felt good, nothing crazy. but this song sounded so damn amazing it felt like i was driving a cloud. the glory days of being a kid.

[@bongodave13]

Agreed.

[@andrewphippsphillips1455]

Just gave you your 50th like to that truly unquestionable statement jocorocket....

[@williamdarkzydeblackenedha9344]

I can't agree more. Such an epic tune in every way. The chord progressions, overall buildup of the tune, makes my fucking hairs stand up. Timeless.

[@williamdarkzydeblackenedha9344]

And that fucking drumming...

[@barragin9893]

This was it. The peak. As we watch Perry go old man crazy today, remember performances like this when they were young and in their prime.

[@ryanrussell9556]

Saw this tour at Madison Garden. Their performance of this song is one of my top moments at any concert I’ve ever seen. And I’ve been to over 700 shows. I was also at the NY show last month. Worst single performance I’ve ever seen by an individual musician. So sad.

[@bugaveli]

Correction: as we are all going old man woman crazy today remember that we were kings and queens in our day

[@chuckryan6065]

One of the most important bands in rock history

[@MLCrow]

...but so unknown to way the most.

[@TheRealBizWiz]

This is absolutely true. This band is at the top of my personal list of all time favorites. They are incredibly important. Growing up with my circle of friends, this band was our soundtrack.

[@micaelmeneses3234]

I'm not sure if it was important because they never had a great impact like Nirvana, RHCP, Pumpkings, RATM, etc. But one of the best for sure.

[@andrewmoore9760]

Every band of the last 20-30 years was influenced by Janes.. and every band hoped to be invited to the lalapalooza stage.. don’t ever underestimate Perry’s influence on todays music or music scene

[@kevinb7126]

This was Janes at the height of their powers . Absolutely incredible .

[@DrunkenStorm118]

Eric Avery is perhaps the most underrated bassist in the history of alternative rock

[@lonboomer8147]

eric is the only reason jane's exists. he hated perry's band psi-com but must of thought enough of what perry was doing to join up with him. the 4 of them with their varied influences kinda became the PERFECT outfit. i didn't care for them until i heard Of COURSE, ironically eric doesn't play on that but it hit me hard enough to go back and listen then eric was revealed to my brain, never been the same. i truly believed they were going to change the world, i saw them at lolla for the only time at the height of their powers, an EXPERIENCE that has only been equaled by seeing MY BLOODY VALENTINE in 2013. if you haven't heard eric's other work give it a listen and you'll know to where the soul of jane's ascended.

[@johnobrien4766]

Well said. Avery really is/was the unsung foundation to their tempo and rhythm.

[@johnobrien4766]

@@lonboomer8147 So many different things going on with their sound. Question is how much was intentional and how much was just an example of artistic happenstance...a magic that just kind of appears between the right artists, but is almost impossible to manufacture. There are elements in this song of Santana with the heavy tribal percussion along with an Allman brothers freestyle jam vibe. Simply an awesome song.

[@consciously73]

So true. The bass riff in this song is just epic

[@rsears78]

Yeeeessss!!! Three days, Stop, Mountain song very pivotal

[@LClark-ry9to]

Awesome, I love these guys to no end, I miss them . TEXAS HEADBANGGER ! I’m 66 yrs. ROCK STEADY ! U.S. NAVY VETERAN IN TEXAS!🇺🇸💪⚓️🎸

[@douglasbatley1907]

Respect. Thank you for your service. ❤

[@jdoedoenet]

If you were 17 when this album came out like I was, I'm betting that maybe this song tugs at some pretty deep emotions and captures a very special time in your life too. Bittersweet bliss...

[@sarahemikula]

I was...you said it my man 😔♥️

[@abelmontalvo4052]

I was 20 years old

[@sundance9042]

I was 17 .. this song and Ritual de lo Habitual a moment in time 💗

[@williamjay8715]

I was sixteen in 1990...this album in particular as well as Nothing's Shocking and another 1990 album Happy Mondays - Pills, Thrills and Bellyaches changed my life...first year of being introduced to Ecstasy and LSD

[@rensenbrink70]

@Bryan Smith Underrated comment

[@veerchasm1]

Stephen Perkins, so underrated. Drums in 80’s rock had become boring until he showed up. He was the perfect balance of tribalism, groove, tone, world music and dance sensibility

[@abelmontalvo4052]

Not really Mike Borden was around Faith No More and the drummer from Pixies was around

[@abelmontalvo4052]

@Anderson Cooper yeah I know those words are overrated

[@xesfoureyes502]

I was in my latter teens when Ritual came out and every young aspiring drummer I knew pretty much worshipped Perkins, with the melodic drum break in Three Days considered like his crowning jewel.

[@matthewling2663]

Came here to say Mike Bordin also. Both great players

[@tattoofthesun]

Tribal is a great word

[@EGlideKid]

I discovered this song and Janes when I was 60. Better late than never, I guess. They’re one of my favorite bands of any era now.

[@NRFC]

I was 20 when this record came out. I use to just stare at the cover and listen to the songs over and over again. And Three Days has always been my favorite.

[@icanseeformiles9387]

Was also 20 in '90, and my favorite as well

[@kevinnewson6116]

Sat in my apartment with my cousin and his friend Stephen Perkins as Stephen played us the rough mix of this song. We must have listened to it 3 or 4 times and knew how epic it would be upon it's completion. Stephen told us the overdubs were going to be done later that same week and that he'd let us listen to the song again after the final mix. Unfortunately, the next time I heard the song was when I listened to it on cassette after the album was released. I swear I must have listened to it one hundred times that first weekend alone. The engineers at the recording studio I worked at said I was going to wear out the tape. They were right, I did. This song is still and will always be one of my favorite songs. Jane's Addiction is and will always be one of my favorite bands. And Stephen Perkins is and will always be one of my favorite drummers.

[@GoDamnWeird]

Favorite drummers? Same here, man. It's not often you get to meet your idols and have them live up to your expectations, but Stephen Perkins? 100%. Great drummer and a quality human being. He's in my top 3 with Keith Moon (who he loves, as well) and Bill Bruford. Great drummer, exciting, expressive and inventive.

[@Thatguy55595]

Kevin Newson did it have different lyrics or anything ? That’s a really cool story my man

[@quincee3376]

Very cool !!!

[@MyMg23]

wow that's really cool! Amazing story

[@siddis-notdead]

Best group: Jane's addiction Best Singer: Perry Farrell Best Guitar: Dave Navarro Best drum: Stephen Perkins Best bass: Eric Avery Best album: Nothing Shocking 4 ever.✌️✌️✌️

[@andrewireland6399]

this song will be played at my funeral with the volume so loud that no-one cant hear the person next to them speak to make everyone reflect upon my life . . . I love these guys . . . peace be with you

[@kristinwolf1165]

dave and Stephen are just mind blowing during this song. especially dave. Jesus, he can play. I can't talk about Jane's enough. been a fan for 25 yrs. never gets old.

[@MeanrBeanr]

Indeed. My 1st JA's show, they opened for Iggy Pop, Warner Theater, Wash. D.C. in '88. Nobody knew who they were, Nothing's Shocking barely released, was already a big fan due to their epic debut LP. At their future gigs in D.C. they would play a PACKED 9:30 Club. Even had a chance to hang out with 'em backstage the entire evening at that legendary venue, before and after the show, Feb. '89. Outstanding group, a top favorite and this composition, their magnum opus.

[@rasragga]

Ahhh the old 9:30 club in S.E. Those were the days of Fugazi back in the 80s...miss those days!

[@michaelchevalier9777]

Dave was 23 here, and judging from the shades, strung the fuck out. There's a level of self assuredness and polish to his playing that just stuns me.

[@ScottCee-me5fz]

The catalyst for the golden age of music. The 90s were incredible. This was the foundation.

[@gustavogonzalez4271]

This has been on a loop for 30 years for me. They could do no wrong at this point .

[@MuadDib_]

Dare I say the beauty of this song and the reflection of me listening to it in awe as a young teenager can bring me to tears of joy and sadness?

[@jwichmann1306]

A long track, but it never drags. It always feels like a 5 minute song

[@chadalpha7983]

That's because it's three nearly distinct songs put together, the real magic to me in this song are the bridges in between parts that transition so flawlessly that you don't notice just how much it's a medley

[@jwichmann1306]

@@chadalpha7983 yes, true

[@jowlorenz9555]

Trippy time traveling !

[@gustavogonzalez4271]

They were at the height of both drugs distractions, and their musical talents. And they were on top of the world musically of you were to ask me. How I miss these days , it sparks my memory of youth.

[@Duffy8368]

if a time machine would exist, I'd like to go back to this concert.

[@TheGonnzzo]

I feel so fortunate to have seeing them at this time in history. Their shows were like no other. Took you to another demension

[@r.r.1546]

A masterpiece. When this album came out, I was 11. Changed my life.

[@Carefree716]

Agree, such a great album. So glad I had this kind of music in my teens

[@thegamblefish]

Me too though I didn’t connect to until four years later. I must’ve listened to that cassette hundreds of times in the first year I heard it alone!

[@jstone4862]

yes, I was eleven too. Just a spectacular time to be alive and have this band music. I enjoy other era's and genres of music and they are fantastic and wonderful as well. I'm grateful to have what we had/have when it happened. I will not criticize other music or eras/genres.

[@Mark-yu5ni]

This is one of those rare performances that is pure - magic.

[@nklin6]

highly agree

[@MyMg23]

agreed

[@bigmikec9]

Eric Avery had some of my favorite bass lines. He inspired me a ton.

[@russellabrams4783]

This is the best video of Three Days on the Tube. I watched a lot of the others, this is the best version. As far as I'm concerned, Nothing!, beats live music. Love it.

[@deketk]

It still holds up. There are many to choose from now 7 years later, better HD video + better quality sound, but this version with Eric on Bass, live, this is it. Still one of my favorite tracks from Janes.

[@mez6323]

Totally agree, can you name one band these days that can match this. Short answer is no. 3 days is in a league of its own. It never get old!!!! One of the best songs ever written.🤘

[@maxmustermann8442]

Perrys out of tune 12 string is brilliant

[@loushark6722]

One of my favorite guitar solos of all time.

[@Furtivo95]

I remember buying this album my freshman year of college in the summer of 1990 -after my fraternity brother said "Man, you have GOT to listen to this whole album....they'll blow your fucken mind"

[@1966Pendragon]

Fantastic show..I was there 24 years old. They brought in their music discovery, sensuality and a sense of adventure

[@stoodydoo]

One of the most underrated bands from my time. Perry is definitely underrated.

[@anthonynolan7746]

What a masterpiece!!! This is up there with Stairway...Symptom of the Universe....Gimme Shelter. You name it.

[@jjmontes1414]

I want you ( she is so heavy) Stargazer

[@johnpevide1022]

This is a masterpiece!! I put this up there with the likes of the song remains the same Zepplin,echos pink floyd, simpathy for the devel stones,and boba o'rielly the who! This whole album is incredible.

[@dailyflash]

Living in L.A., I saw Jane’s as often as possible, once I discovered them, around 1988. They often played with bands like the chili peppers, guns and roses, and fishbone. Good times.

[@MuadDib_]

Nice..

[@patrickmcdonald7892]

who puts a 10+ minute song on an album back then. I still get chills if I hear this song.

[@williamdarkzydeblackenedha9344]

Patrick Mcdonald oh man I get em big time. Something about those chord progressions and melodies get me every time.

[@fabianhidalgo8591]

It was usual in the 70’s prog rock era, but janes addiction brought that back and with style

[@abelmontalvo4052]

Jane's Addiction does

[@robertgrant6036]

Dave and Eric are soooo underated. That 3days solo is a game changer!

[@DiFinni]

One of my favorite songs, no doubt. When I first saw them back in the early 90s in Chicago, it was awesome. Great memories.

[@nachol7270]

That Italian early 90s crowd is awesome. So fresh. Like watching Martians

[@kristinwolf1165]

I love Jane's Addiction. They are simply unbeatable!!!

[@synthoelectro]

A band with real passion.

[@Fireneedsair]

Just a amazing epic song from start to finish. Rhythm changes from rock to tribal to industrial, dynamic with beauty interspersed with rage, a true classic. Stands the test of time..wow!

[@jm.7272]

Pretty annoying description you just made

[@sarahemikula]

@@jm.7272 troll much? 😂😂👍

[@Furtivo95]

This was performed when the songs still meant something to their lives...a personal scar that hadn't even healed.

[@gauchopoint2909]

now it's just part of the set. A stale one at that. This is greatness.

[@Furtivo95]

Damn that’s deep. Can’t believe I wrote that.

[@fredarmentrout5771]

Saw them five times on this tour...nobody...NOBODY was better live!

[@negativeindustrial]

Fred Armentrout LOL. Saw them only once at Lollapalooza 1 in like, 1991? Totally agree

[@TheJROCK911]

This is when you wanted to see this band. Right before they got huge, and while they still could pull a show like this off. I could have seen them at the Tower Theatre here in Philly, but that was the show they walked off stage and caused a riot. This band is a landmark. You'll never see anything like this again. They preceded Pearl Jam & Nirvana nicely. And those Seattle bands were in a category all their own. Take it from a guy in his late 30's. This was the best time to be into alternative m

[@teepeerock7015]

one of the greatest ALT songs of the 90's. slamming performance!

[@sundance9042]

To be 17 and hear this for the first time again .. and again .. and again ❤️💔

Necesitan más drogas. Viva la heroina y el desierto y la mugre con sexo!!

Ritual is one of my all-time favorite albums. This song and "Side 2" totally reminds me of Zeppelin, Physical Graffiti period, and that's a very good thing.

[@scrymusic]

This album is the masterpiece of the discography.. Most artists wrote some of the best material stoned... Lots of writers have done it along with countless musicians. Listen to the lyrics and the whole album... Beautiful genius..

Still loving this in 2024.

100%

[@michaelmikolissargalis6542]

Can anyone imagine hearing this music practiced at night in a valley with acoustic sound. I live in the mts where they have a 3-day concert outdoors and if I am outside at my fireplace, I can hear the music with the night owls, wild dogs, Canadian geese and insects chirping. It sounds cosmic under the stars and feels like rain.

[@kingsxstatic]

Saw this tour in the UK. This song is truly amazing. Great album, great band, great song.

[@willemowen4826]

This is the best performance I've seen of this song. Really hard to top the ability these guys hard in terms of raw sonic power and mix of style and finesse. Hail Jane's.

[@anyopp1]

It’s unreal to think this song is now over 30 years old!!! I remember working in a record (CD & tapes actually) store in Virginia Beach when this came out. Of course the cover was so controversial back then… if it came out today no one would even notice. 😂 This song is so epic and yet under appreciated. Certainly one of JA’s best.

[@sixpenske1940]

Perkins and Navarro are the 2 extreme ends of this song Farrell is the guidance and Avery is the glue that holds it all together and makes it make sense. One of the most underated songs ever!!

[@Juniorbean720]

Cannot count the number of times I have played this. I had the tape lol. Still love it!

[@jessehaskell1397]

I found out about these guys in college back in 88’. I quickly learned if you were a fan you were a member of a tribe. If you weren’t there, you don’t know.

[@kristinwolf1165]

Exactly. Tribe member since 1992

[@Furtivo95]

A haunting masterpiece. It freaks me out to see this song performed fresh off their Ritual de lo habitual" album.

[@Shah-of-the-Shinebox]

What's interesting was this song was written and even performed before that album was released. It goes as far back a 1987

I've been all over the music on KZbin... From endless Vevo pop, to grainy, old school bar room, "I was there", originals; classic Led Zep performances, to little kids and old folks killin it on X-Factor; independent 200-view some-day stars, to classical pieces that invoke gods and demons; but this... This is one of the greatest live performances available for viewing on this website, period.
