Jane's Addiction - 10/31/97- Hammerstein Ballroom - NY, NY - MTV Pro Shot Master [Full Show]

[@jimminycricket3384]

There's a reason there are no Jane's Addiction tribute bands. Who the fuck could ever pull off anything close to this?

[@ExcitedAnacondaSnake-hg8ec]

Their music is just basically blues. Same couple keys and revolving progressions. The drumming and guitar can be sophisticated and Perry’s voice is one of a kind.

[@tzt1182]

When music was dangerous and magical. So happy I was in my 20s through out the 90s.

[@TheWatcher818]

In 97 I was 22. My son was 2. In LA. Went to a ton of concerts back then. Rage Against The Machine, a lot of classic rock shows, festivals. Never was into Janes Addiction. Was only familiar with Jane Says, Been Caught Stealing, and my personal favorite, Ted, Just Admit off the sickest soundtrack to the best movie ever Natural Born Killers. Beyond that, I didn’t like Perry Ferrells voice. Fast forward to Nov of last year (2022), Smashing Pumpkins and Janes Addiction at the Hollywood Bowl. Was curious about JA, but really there for SP. HOLY SHIT! JA blew my fuckin mind! Stole the show. Told my wife then and there that I NEEDED a full set, and if they ever did one, we’d go. They announced the Palladium show a couple months later and we got tix the first day. The show was last week, and I can’t put into words how kind fucked I am at how great they are. Jesus. On one hand I’m a loser for never giving them a chance so long ago, but it’s new to me now, which is so cool. Better late than never. They can take my money whenever they feel like it. Rock in you old fucks in the comment section😂 peace, love and health to us all.

This band is freaking KICKING ASS! Navarro is an unsung master of the guitar...simply and quietly does what he is there to do...Perkins, Flea and Farrell are as outstanding...this is a helluva SUPER GROUP!

[@jacquesmesrine8031]

Navarro> Frusciante

[@stevensilver5162]

Oozing energetic electric set.

[@avedic]

Perry was obviously the mad genius behind the ethos and aesthetic of Janes. But...Dave's guitar playing cannot be ignored. It's clear Dave's approach to guitar was hugely integral to that specific cosmic sexual hedonistic spiritual vibe that Janes did so damn well. This concert is just beyond perfect. Must have been so communal to be there in person...and on Halloween of all nights! Also...Flea killed it; he fits the rest of the band like a glove. And I love how wild-eyed and in a deep flow-state Perry is. What a show...just beautiful!

[@avedic]

Oh....believe me, I 100% agree that Avery's bass was the basis of Janes....I certainly realize that. The entire band is brilliant....but he provided the weirdly sensual groove underneath it all.

[@pape37]

This is my favorite Jane's era actually. Perry was so much older than the other guys that Dave was just starting to find his own thing. And I agree about his playing. Dave and John Frusciante are my two favorite guitar players from this era, and where John was wild and a little sloppy, Dave managed to be every bit as dark but extremely elegant and precise in his guitar playing. No funky staccato triplets. His sound is kind of oozing and sexual, love the goth vibe. Avery wrote some great parts but having an even better player in Flea kicked it up a notch. One of the great shames of rock 'n roll that this iteration of the band never did a record. I was 12 at this time. Would've killed to have been 22 and been there.

[@pape37]

And by Dave finding his own thing at 30 here, I mean stage presence and style, not his guitar playing which was always on point. For such a good looking guy, ditching the baggy clothes and floppy hats of '87 for this look suited him better.

[@ChasD]

Agree, though Stephen Perkins' drumming is also vital to the Jane's sound and vibe - that tribal feel and sexual groove. All four original members brought so much to the table - the whole band is definitely worth more than just the sum of its parts. Eric and Dave's Deconstruction project aside, none of their solo/ side projects can match the soaring heights of Jane's at full throttle. And though Flea doesn't have Eric Avery's melodic groove bass playing style, he fits in well in his own Flea way playing his own unmistakable style. It works, and the concert is brilliant as a result.

[@MaqueradingDebutante]

Although Flea has been involved with Janes as early as 1988. (Trumpet on Nothings Shocking) Fleas the bassists bassist and he can do it all. He's filled in on bass for both janes & porno for pyros. I preferred Janes up until scar tissue album.

I got to see Janes 4 times. First time 1987 they opened for Love and Rockets. Club 1235 Miami 2nd time 1989 Woodies on the beach Miami. Great show! 3rd time 1991 Bayfront Park Miami. Suicidal Tendencies split the bill with them 4th time this show in 1997 NYC. I really wish Eric Avery would come back. Jane’s is just not the same without him. Great times! Great band!!!! The 89 show at woodies was the best. There was so much electricity in the air you could just feel they were about to blowup and become HUGE!!!

[@mapmtony]

I was there! Still can't believe Flea was playing bass! He hit note for note and was awesome.

It’s a god damn shame and disgrace that there’s no more bands like this anymore. Imagine if we could still go see music like this live.

No frontman better than Perry at this show. Unbelievable.

Maybe one of the greatest live rock & roll performance ever recorded!!

[@richsleyster2656]

I’ve been to at least 80 concerts over the years. Janes Addiction in 2000 was top 3 of all-time for me. Absolutely amazing!!

[@ianklipa3572]

Who were the other top 3??

[@DicedOnionWarrior]

Wow 80 whole concerts.

[@jessejaymes8684]

Damn it. I’m gonna be late for work again. Buy the way, “I’m gonna kick tomorrow.”

[@eszuba3]

Still rocking this in 2021! Boy do I miss live music!

[@christophergranning8954]

Pure ass kicking rock...there's nothing like Jane's Addiction.....

[@rebeccaa7612]

thank you for this greatest Janes Addiction live concert in its entirety...pure classic

[@johnathancross7465]

Jane's Addiction are one of my favorite bands ever. Severely underrated and so fucking badass. All those cats can really play and perform. All four of those cats are bad motherfuckers.

[@GTomaselli]

Been followin them since the 90's

[@crohnscroonerandcats8072]

Mos def

[@blackbeansmatter1280]

Don't think they were underrated in their time. Were a pretty big deal by the time Ritual was released up here in the PNW.

[@ralphsimon3179]

Was there right in front of Dave Navarro the whole time with my former best friend and bandmate and his Detective uncle whogot us in for free with his badge.Tickets had long since sold out. Ive seen all the great bands but this was in both our top ten. We were both Class of 97 fresh out of high school. I had met and still have one pic with Dave after the show as we waited for hours. Nice guy. Also have a pic with Perrry. I was drunk and on coke and psychedelics. I thought I was in a surreal dream.

[@ext93]

Coke and psychedelics mixed sounds awful 😨 I don't like coke tho. Rather just be on some mushies and maybe a few drinks

[@Itsyrm8]

​​@@ext93ah the exaggeration! Exact same thoughts here.. both coke n psykedelics basically wasted. Why take psykedelics when u have coke and vice versa.. Some quality spliffs, a little quality coke & a couple of beers is just fine. Or some (quality) lsd with good spliffs would be fine for the occasion... Oh lord, i am , the droogie Yes i am

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Christ they are on fire.. and Perry's voice sounds amazing. This is getting ripped for the car. Flea dropped in perfectly in the line up and Navarro's playing is off the chain

[@nikyt36]

Mountain Song blows my balls off every time 👏

[@billyhendoe4170]

Blew my mind live many moons ago. One of my fav songs of all time.

[@nedim_guitar]

31:05 When that solo hits... I love it! Pentatonics with some chromatic notes, and just... I just love the sound of this particular solo.

[@UnwrittenSpade]

Ted, just admit it will always be my number one fav song

[@craigroberts1670]

Perry is unique. I never saw them live but he is like a Jim Morrison character.

[@jodybarnes9466]

Congratulations for being part of the tired, insecure boredom, Scott.

[@WilliamBarker]

Shaman like. Indeed.

[@nicholaskoenig3106]

Had to comment during 3 days...Navaro's solo is quite amazeballs. I played lead guitar in a good-for-somethin band yrs ago and it makes me wanna play again! Bravo. What a night in 1997!

[@callsignstatic6872]

Three Days OMG

[@vinyldiary6664]

My favorite sound of them ... beautiful version

[@troubadouroutdoors2126]

Three days is the best song ever. Period.

[@jeremythomas9504]

I first listened to Three Days during one of my initial psychedelic experiences when I was 18. It fundamentally changed my life and my perspective of music. I don't say that in a cavalier way - this song opened my mind, opened my eyes, opened my soul. I still rate it as one of the best (maybe the best) songs ever recorded.

[@rustygagne3942]

Was at this show........was PURE MAGIC.....perry farrel was on point this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@bradmesserle999]

Can we please go back to the 90’s ? :) this had to been a incredible time.. I love small venue concerts..

[@blistabliss]

Hammerstein ballroom is pretty big lol. But yeah it sucks you usually have to go to some weird rodeo monstrosity or bball stadium to see big bands but I saw radiohead and before that smashing pumpkins at one of those weird outdoor bench chair things with an awning years ago and it was amazing. But a lot of big bands still play hammerstein and roseland in portland

[@kingtal99]

It was. Unbelievable bands, heaps of festivals,

[@billium99]

Amazing band with two perfect albums and an EP, blows up at the height of their popularity. Navarro goes on (before the reality TV stuff) to join the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to make their best album. Just meteoric energy. When Perry has his shit together, they're even great live, but their studio work was incredible.

[@paulevans8348]

Their best album? The only album he did with them sucked and then they fired him before bringing back Frusciante.

[@billium99]

@@paulevans8348 OK except it objectively didn't suck. Some of the strongest, most creative Chilli Pepper material. I've been a fan of theirs since Uplift Mofo, and One Hot Minute floored me.

[@DONNICOMUSIC]

@@billium99 uplift and ohm r my favs also

[@rollotomassi4768]

Maybe it's just because I was late teens and early 20's in the 90's, but Jane's Addiction concerts just had a feel, a vibe, that other artists of the same time didn't have.

[@tylerao]

Rollo Tomassi you ever get into The Butthole Surfers? Definitely nothing like Janes, but psychedelic punk rock, similar but different. Hairway to Steven is unreal and the album is on here

[@raulvargas4060]

Early gish era Smashing pumpkins had a somewhat similar feel

[@sarahemikula]

No doubt, an element of danger mixed with an amazing release....like no other

I was lucky to see this show live in Miami with my friends...one of highlights of my life!

[@gothamlab]

I was there too. It was a magical night. Outdoor pavilion right. Will never forget that experience.

[@avedic]

Wow.....I really needed this tonight. I've been a Jane's fan for ages....and have seen this show several times. But lately.....I've been in a rut. Just this late 30s....wtf is going on stage. And then the pandemic hit. It's been a deeply frustrating few years to be honest. So watching/listening to this....full of so much LIFE and charisma and creativity and confidence and joy. It's just super inspiring. A nice reminder that you can kinda be whatever human being you want to be. And if someone is stopping you(often yourself) just beat them up and do you. Or something....you get it. Anyway, I've always listened to this show for the sheer musical creativity and expertise of it....It's so good. But tonight I just let the _vibe_ of it all move me. And mission accomplished. I need WAY more of Perry's weirdo trickster energy in my own life....

[@ext93]

Ita 4 am, i can't sleep, and i needed this too. Did you beat yourself up yet? If not, I'll do it for you I'm late 20s, going to be 30 in a year. I've been in a wtf stage since last year when my dad died and I left my gf. Life is strange and frustrating. It feels like the past 5 years just flashed by. Gotta keep going til the wheels fall off tho

[@CristinaF210]

[@joejoey6511]

I’ve seen many bands back in the day. This was the only band I’ve seen that I had goose bumps the whole show. By far best live concert. Especially with flea.

90's were the last cool decade

[@user-cc2ws7ki8t]

Yup!

[@jojo-lp4rd]

@Bryce Thibodeaux Interesting theory, but the music industry pre-2000 was totally different. There was a lot more pressure on artists to be commercial once physical media started to die out. The music industry was much healthier in the 80s and 90s - now most artists are pretty much volunteers in a sea of homogenous expression available for free.

[@mh4zd]

@@jojo-lp4rd Not to mention, young people don't DO anything anymore, making live music a less likely route to succeed even a little bit in.

[@Cap683]

It’s true and I grew up in the sixties.

[@Jylart]

I miss these days! I don't care that I sound old af but music is not the same these days. Watered-down soulless music.
