Goosebumps every time Perry shouts 1 2 3 4 and they drop into that steel drum groove. I also love how Flea is 100% driving this song because he's a magician on the bass.
The first date I had with a girl named Jane was a Jane's Addiction concert in 1991. She was my muse and the one true love of my life. This song takes me back to that night, dancing with her in my arms, it was electric, surreal and etherial. Needless to say some time later we parted ways, the impulsivity of youth. I never found another love like what I had with her. Years later when my wife left, I looked her up only to find she passed at 35. She was taken much too soon. She had it all brains, a beauty like few possess and a gentle soul. Here's to you Jane! I hope when I cross into eternity we will meet again but until that day comes you will always be in my heart and memory. The greatest first date ever with the greatest girl ever.
That is so beautiful. I am in that boat. The love of my life I lost and hopefully we will reunite unfortunately it will never happen. This songs grabs me so deeply and I will always remember her.
I agree...add to that with no freakin' cell phones...use a lighter for encores not the light from the cell phone. God For some reason that pisses me off. Missing the 90's especially the early 90's bad...
@@unacceptablecodyberg1402 Settle down and have kids with a stable spouse before you get too old. I didn't and now I see the hole that leaves when you get older. Kids bring a lot of joy and help you to grow as a person.
I saw Jane's Addiction at the first Lalapalooza in Virginia. They came on right as the sun was going down. It was one of the most powerful moments of my life, when they took the stage. It was beautiful. I'm glad I grew up ahead of social media and phones.
I wish I had a chance to enjoy the 90s more when I was there. I wasted my youth working for the DOE trying to save us all from climate change. Ya, good luck with that. Anyway, President Clinton gave me a "atta boy."
@@Nowhere888 I was a kid so the 90s music was what made me, born in 87. There is nothing more 90s than being at this show or getting an Atta Boy! From Clinton lol. Just know someone out there appreciates the shit out of both your lives!
One of them rare occasions where the live version is so good because the crowd is singing along. Usually can't stand that. You can feel them feeling it! Love it!
This is a great example of how people used to enjoy a concert. Now you go to a concert and everyone is holding up their cellphone, filming for their Facebooks. If you go to a concert, just go to have a good time for yourself. Nobody really cares whether you were there or not, except yourself...
+rox290 Preach!! The kids these days have no idea what a good use of their time is- anywhere, it seems. Nobody really cares whether I was at the first Lollapalooza, but I was.... I have no pictures, and I'm not the slightest bit sorry about that. If anybody thinks I'm bull_____ing, well... I don't blame you.... but I also don't give a ______. I've got a full enough Facebook page as it is. Lolly 1 wasn't much to write home about. I think the one I saw was in Irvine or some other outdoor venue in the L.A. Area. I forget, b/c I went to a few JA shows up near L.A. and they all blend together in my memory. Anyway- the strongest memory I have of it was that the sound system SUUUUUUUUCKED. Literally the worst I've ever heard at a big money show. So, however cool I might wish to make you think my life was..... pretty much everyone sounded like _____ that day. If you think the whistling at the beginning of this vid is annoying, can you imagine a whole set by Siouxsie and the Banshees with the high notes breaking up almost every time? Trust me- don't feel like you missed out on anything for not being there- even if you like JA. They sounded just as bad as everyone else..... although now that I think about it, I think Henry Rollins was there that day, and I remember him as doing relatively well. Of course he's closer to a grunter than a shrieker. That helps. Another moment that I have no selfie for was the time when my L.A. model friend from my high school took me backstage to meet Perry Farrell. I have to give the dude credit though- he looked at me for about 3 seconds and nodded slightly at me. Because I'm not a complete idiot, I realize that this was not because he gave even a low-flying fuck about me, but he was trying to be courteous to the hot girl next to me. Anyway, from what I heard about him from her, he was pretty much the dick that you would expect him to be, but not all that much more than your average L.A. musician who got to hear people saying he fronted "the best band in the world." I liked JA's sound on record, but I saw them 3 times live and they never lived up to it. Overall, I'm not claiming they're crap live, b/c I might have easily just gone to the wrong shows. So no offense is really meant to the fans that still think they're great. I wanted to believe that for years... but I just didn't see the proof. Primus, on the other hand.....RULES.
Why? Is it because the speaker makes that terrible sound right when the song starts. Is it because of the hoarse moaning sound coming out of Ferrell's drugged up body? I love this somg but check out Guitar Sessions version. Way better.
Almost half a century ago, I still don't feel old when I listen to these old tunes, still rockin' at 64 :) It really makes me feel so damn good to watch a crowd like that dancing and groovin'. fine stuff right there man! Still chilling in 2021!
My wife Kelly passed away on October 17th 2007. She loved this song! She overdosed on pain meds. She was my best friend and lover! She couldn't get clean and sober. God bless her and I will be there when it's my turn.
For sure. I’m a little over a decade behind you, but grew up hearing this song on alternative rock radio. Thought it was catchy, not too bad. It popped back into my head today and kinda fighting back tears listening to the lyrics. There’s always so much we will just do tomorrow.
If you're a young person that's fascinated by the 90s & sort of is like, 'alternative' I guess I'd say, let me tell you, you'd have friggin LOVED it back then!!! I miss the 90s so much, the shows were awesome, the concerts & music were awesome, just the overall vibe was awesome. LOL and being that the style for jeans has been very skinny for the past while, I'm sure our JNCOs & other ridiculously huge pants would be an odd sensation for kids today, but they were a hell of alot of fun to wear (Still can't figure out how people used to skateboard in those things, but they did, lol!). The 90s were just great, I wish I could get in a time machine & go back, if only for just a day.
Me too! Some of the best music and best times of my life were on the 90s! Thank good for RUclips cause after some shots n brews I can sit back and relive them:)
We did not have phones back then. Certainly not mobile phones. At that point in time it was only seriously rich people that even had mobile phones. The rest of us used pagers....know what a pager is?
Perry + Dave + Flea and the Jamaican drummer = synergy that is rarely contained into one venue. Who ever was lucky enough to have been here should never count themselves out as unlucky in life. What a display of musical organism.
Methadone is more clean. But once I did Heroin been over 20 yrs still not the same person. H and coke in 90z. Rip NEIL MAZZA my partner see ya on the other side. Never gonna kick to old now.
PhuryousOne the 90’s were a shit load better than this man. You’re forgetting propper bands. KoRn. Slipknot. Mudvayne etc etc. Or stone roses. Inspiral carpets. Jesus Jones.
Richard Ensey ...Oh, yes...My Dad would bave been 81, now, had said the same and its the truth. Happy New Years and a safe and healthy one to you n yours!🦅🕊😁🤘
I was in the crowd at this concert at Hammerstein Ballroom and it was ABSOLUTELY F@cking incredible. I will never forget it. Every Jane’s Addiction show was epic. Fan of the band since their beginning. Seen them live 20 times over the years. 🖤🎈🎉😍
I’m so jealous, that’s amazing, seeing a band in person let’s you connect with the music in a way a record never could, often with music you could never appreciate the same way!
Being born in 1970, I had my teen years in the 80s and my 20s in the 90s. So I had the best of both worlds. I could go out in the 90s without my mother being on my case all the time.
Ive been a frontman in bands my whole life . I’m old now but If I could trade all the moments I had for one it would be this ! The naturalness of this moment , every band member was enjoying themselves to the fullest . This is priceless and I know they all point back to this as a defining moment !
Bands that are known as " one hit wonder's" get a bad rap sometimes, but I'd love to have just one song, if that's all I had, so be it, but to be in my car with someone who doesn't know much about me, and to have that one song come on the radio, and be able to say, " that's me" that my song, I was in a band in the mid 80's and this was are one hit. I just think anything like that, or maybe just a short scene in a movie, that would be awesome! just a fantasy I think about on occasion
Hello❤Mother Father of all creation our creators are here in physical flesh playing this song to reach you! Phone home today! This is an urgent call to humanity. We are building God's house to anchor in water happiness and stability for humanity🎉
@@MsElleDluv That was catching my eye a lot this time I watched this! Weird you brought that up now lol! I was a teenager throughout most of the 90's so I saw some amazing shows at the perfect age to see them... I would have loved to be at this one though. It's one of the best shows I've ever seen from any band.
It is nice to say - I was actually in that mix on the floor of Hammerstein - they played there Oct. 30th as well. “The Cure” was also Downtown at Irving Plaza that night. Two smaller venues with great acts. I remember this moment - the walk thru the crowd at the beginning - From wherever I was on the floor - I couldn’t see they were heading to that equipment enclave. It was an island 🏝️ where bands really didn’t play. But it was set up for that this night. They were then among us. It was an awesome 😎 moment.
I remember this time and concerts like this. I was so young!''90's were awesome! I always knew it was a special time stamp in history. If you weren't there at a certain age, you missed it bro. It was magical! Never will happen again!😎🤙🤘
Born in 65, I feel for people now who will never know a real concert where everyone was as one, listening and singing and just enjoying life in real time together before cell phones and social media. You missed out and I'm sorry.
This song has been in my head for a few days now, as it's coming up on the anniversary of my aunt's death from decades of drug abuse. If you are struggling with addiction or struggling to help a loved one get clean, I send good vibes your way, because picking up the pieces after losing someone to addiction sucks.
Thank you for sharing your heart break 💞 I listen to Jane Ssys to understand my Daughter, I listen to “She talks to Angels” as my POV. As I help raise 2 young children and 1 on the way to understand to try to love 💕 the person and cry for the “Jane” of it all consuming. Love to all Jane’s and Angels
I’m coming out a bad addiction I was selling as well. I’m doing fine on my methadone n 15 mg Valium a day still an addict but it’s better than taking H every day!
Sadly I too am living with the fall out of losing my only daughter to drugs. She was 24 and her name was Savannah Jane. Oh how I miss her beautiful soul 💜. I will never recover.
I love how when Dave starts playing, some of the more dedicated fans start cheering. But it's not until the steel drums kick in that everyone realizes they're playing Jane Says.
This is life...at human scale, time, and emotion. It also shows empathy and compassion to the highest potential of humans, yet another literal meaning of this song is about substance misuse. A powerful song.
That was life! We lived it in the moment without worrying about reliving it and getting other people's approval for how we lived it. What other people thought about us in that moment was none of our business! 💪😁🙏😎
Stopped going to T in The Park after 2005, couldnae move for dafties with phones, grabbed one off a guy and flung it tae fuck in the middle of the Prodigy fuckin headlin! I had descended from outer space!
One thing I've learned in this life being a music lover as it were. Is that music transcends age and space. These guys love what they do. They were having fun and it wouldn't make any difference if this performance was in 1969 or 2001. They did an awesome job. Bravo
Wow! Lucky! Nirvana was supposed to do Lollapalooza in NYC and then he died. I still went, but I was so bummed, not only that he died, but that I was finally going to see them live.
if ur reading this, and ur going through struggles just know u have my support and times get tough but just continue to keep going and kicking ass everyday, praying for u all, thank u jane’s addiction for this music ❤️
Jane says was the first song I ever heard by Janes Addiction. As I listened I thought to myself, this is the music I’ve been waiting for my whole life. As a matter of fact I was at this very show. There is nothing in the world quite like a Grateful Dead, but I’ve never felt freer then, a janes addiction concert, They hold your key and turn your note, I love them I mean it’s so so serious, like bits of puzzle fitting each other. And that makes me 1%
Amazing how special a concert can be when you’re a part of the moment instead of a part of the film crew broadcasting the whole thing on your cell phone. This show has so much energy, incredible.
I was at an RHCP concert the other day and I just can't imagine how people watching through their phones the whole time are enjoying it. To each their own I suppose.
Jane's Addiction is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band's original lineup consisted of vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins. They are known for blending alternative rock, punk, and metal influences into their music, and for their dynamic live performances. "Jane Says" is a song by Jane's Addiction, released on their 1987 self-titled debut album. The song is a poignant acoustic ballad, featuring lyrics about a woman named Jane who is struggling with drug addiction and homelessness. Despite the serious subject matter, the song has a catchy melody and has become one of the band's most popular and enduring songs. It has been covered by numerous artists and has been featured in films and TV shows.
Saw James Addiction twice in the early 90s. Never felt energy flow through the crowd like that at any show I've been to. One of the greatest shows I ever went to. You kidds today would have loved this era of music. Damn I really miss it.
I worked a bar called Video Bar in Deep Ellum( door girl) in Dallas in the early 90's after the first Lollapolusa we had an after party for all the bands I actually got to sit and drink with these guys as well as all the other bands. It was magical 😁
Dude I lived in Irish man I've been there done that is so funny kid I went to Kid Rock still it was the greatest the dimension are Metallica show us best
Everything about this if you were there in person must have been chillingly cool and so damn surreal. Drugs or no drugs u were f’ing loving u were there and alive. Everyone is in the moment. No phones to ruin anything...
Nah, man, shit like this you barely even recognize at the time. I mean, it seems like the cutting edge, yet somehow or another, it's just another Thursday. I'm 42 and still sorting through (and recontextualizing) the wreckage of my 20's.
I remember JA with the tiki setup. It swayed around so much I thought it could fall! Great show. Flea filled on bass in a red toga. Vibrant atmosphere.
Except the one you saw live, says every Jane fan! Mine was Coachella when they actually moved the stage during a break we thought show was over then lights up Dave and Perry about 6-8 feet from us okay maybe 20 but we went from the schmucks tripping on shrooms in the back to front row seats when the ecstasy kicked in! Best version of been caught stealing for sure but this open is epic thanks for bringing to my attention. A critical band in my medical evolution - still love the lyrics
Dude not many videos of live show can convey the vibe and energy properly but this made me feel transported to the moment. This shit really tied my day together.
I was introduced to Jane's my last year in highschool and fell in love. I saw them my first time at Lollapalooza in 1991. Consistantly moved by their music to this day anytime I hear it.
it was a great time. Music was wild and not run thru a computer, the crowds were cool, all there for a fun time. and this will be with us for a long time past the current junk out there.
I was in college then. It was a difficult time in my life. Uncertainty and anxiety. Might be even worse now to be young teen or 20s. Not too worried about it now. I've got land and tools and guns. Trump is finally going down and government corruption will finally be going away.
But, you are diggin' this stuff, now, here, who knows, you might have ended up not liking stuff like this ; but you are here, with the rest of us , enjoying this gift
1st Lollapalooza, Raleigh/Durham N.C.,I didn't know what to expect, my European brothers took me, when this man started his art, I was mind fcuked! I had been to Live Aid in the 80's but man this festival was unbelievable!
I saw them the next night after this at hammerstein ballroom. Next to pink floyd it was best concert ever been at. The room was electric. Once in lifetime experience. I was in balconey right above where they did jane says
Saw them in 1986 in Fullerton, they opened up for my favorite band at the time... Agent Orange. I remember saying how freaky good Jane's Addiction was that night.
Back in the 90’s I got back stage with Perry and Flea after a concert at the Roxy and I will never forget it. Thank you Perry for remembering my old surf friend Matt Campbell. RIP Matt

We had cellphones. Pay per minute. Mostly to sell drugs though.
I don't have to imagine it, I lived it. Kids need to put the phone down and groove to the music.
Go to a Jack White Show. They make you lock your phone away and make it a phone free show. It’s a lot of fun!
I wish. I would sell my soul to go back before smartphones and social media
Ben Dover I mean I certainly don’t think it’s shitty. He puts on a great show!
Sad lyrics. Havent listened to this song in many years; at age 45 it hits a little different than it did at 15.
Right very sad. Love it tho

It certainly does especially when in a relationship where both parties are addicted to drugs

The 90's was the most amazing time for Live music.
This is literally my first RUclips comment. I was there. Sick concert
+James Kane How enchanting was it? It looks fucking amazing.
+James Kane those were the days....sex drugs and janes addiction.... :)
Freaking annoying Band, especially that whistle.
I'm glad everything has an end.
Bhingo Lacson BINGO LANCSON
+Bhingo Lacson wow..... you should go away.....
Nobody in the crowd holding up their effing smartphones to record this.. Everyone was actually satisfied to experience the moment.
Also no one here knew what a smart phone was .
There were no smart phones then bro...
Fucking alive
thankfully SOMEONE recorded it though huh?
We did not have phones back then. Certainly not mobile phones. At that point in time it was only seriously rich people that even had mobile phones. The rest of us used pagers....know what a pager is?
Perry + Dave + Flea and the Jamaican drummer = synergy that is rarely contained into one venue. Who ever was lucky enough to have been here should never count themselves out as unlucky in life. What a display of musical organism.
“Not a cell phone seen” *types comment on cell phone instead of paying attention to the video

Those were the days!
For an ex junkie, it's a haunting song. But still love it. Never go back to it.
Ah b.s......i go back every 6 months...never bought into be controlled by anything or anyone. H is king
No

Methadone is more clean. But once I did Heroin been over 20 yrs still not the same person. H and coke in 90z. Rip NEIL MAZZA my partner see ya on the other side. Never gonna kick to old now.
Yup
If anybody wants to know what the 90's were like.... It's was this. And it was fucking awesome!
Richard Ensey progressive b4 , W , Obama and Trump ... we were ok. That’s why politics is garbage . The 80s were even better
PhuryousOne the 90’s were a shit load better than this man. You’re forgetting propper bands. KoRn. Slipknot. Mudvayne etc etc. Or stone roses. Inspiral carpets. Jesus Jones.
The '80s were better!
Richard Ensey ...Oh, yes...My Dad would bave been 81, now, had said the same and its the truth. Happy New Years and a safe and healthy one to you n yours!🦅🕊😁🤘
@Richard Ensey yeah, but we had angst in the 90's
NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS VIDEO.
u can't hate this kind of music,rest of u f....off.john stoner jayne goes but u don't get nowhere.sti.leaf 2 feet under .
I was there! #epic
Wow!!!!!! Yes- never gets old!!
From a time where IG followers never existed and selfies didn't determine how fucking popular you are. Go Dave & Flea!!
Straight Talent
What is ig fallower?

I was in the crowd at this concert at Hammerstein Ballroom and it was ABSOLUTELY F@cking incredible. I will never forget it. Every Jane’s Addiction show was epic. Fan of the band since their beginning. Seen them live 20 times over the years. 🖤🎈🎉😍
I’m so jealous, that’s amazing, seeing a band in person let’s you connect with the music in a way a record never could, often with music you could never appreciate the same way!
I was the it the OLYMPIC AUDITORIUM IN LOS ANGELAS
I can see what you mean this is an amazing crowd loving that band Jane's addiction
What year was that 🎵 concert?
What year was this concert 🎵?
Glad i was a teenager in the 90s!!
Same here... best times...
Definitely! Me too.
Really man? Me not so much. I guess Aeon Flux and Ren and Stimpy were cool though
Being born in 1970, I had my teen years in the 80s and my 20s in the 90s. So I had the best of both worlds. I could go out in the 90s without my mother being on my case all the time.
Me too I was glad I was 90s had a badass time
Ive been a frontman in bands my whole life . I’m old now but If I could trade all the moments I had for one it would be this ! The naturalness of this moment , every band member was enjoying themselves to the fullest . This is priceless and I know they all point back to this as a defining moment !
As I’ve said before…I’m a new fan. But I’m wondering why this song has had such an effect on me. I’m 73 and I absolutely love everything about it.
Bands that are known as " one hit wonder's" get a bad rap sometimes, but I'd love to have just one song, if that's all I had, so be it, but to be in my car with someone who doesn't know much about me, and to have that one song come on the radio, and be able to say, " that's me" that my song, I was in a band in the mid 80's and this was are one hit. I just think anything like that, or maybe just a short scene in a movie, that would be awesome! just a fantasy I think about on occasion
Hello❤Mother Father of all creation our creators are here in physical flesh playing this song to reach you! Phone home today! This is an urgent call to humanity. We are building God's house to anchor in water happiness and stability for humanity🎉
Flea's bass playing from 3:30 to 04:20 is sublime, actually it is the whole way
pure bliss guy, i keep replaying that part over and over. flea drops god damn low end like no other
Yep, and the kettle drums!
Profound
He MAY HAVE BEEN (don't shoot the messenger here people) the only sober one in the bunch.
It's the steel pan drum for me...!!!!
Flea was jammin, that walkin base line is sick as fuck....
Oh hell yeah!! Bro, flea was insane on that bass!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Oh yea caught that
The only word I understand Bass
Another dimension bass. 🔥 And, Perry Farrell is from another planet.
Flea jumps just right
I come back to this often. Such a magical performance.
YourName it’s Dave’s kilt. Gets me evertime😜
@@MsElleDluv That was catching my eye a lot this time I watched this! Weird you brought that up now lol!
I was a teenager throughout most of the 90's so I saw some amazing shows at the perfect age to see them... I would have loved to be at this one though. It's one of the best shows I've ever seen from any band.
Best intro ever ❤️
The emotion in Perry's voice is amazing. I love how he says she's never been in love with this naive longing in his voice their. Amazing
This video is one of my favorite things. Have watched it too many times to count. Flea and Dave are feeling it. Grooving along.
Always blows my mind. No matter how many times I listen to it.

@@nikkiberetta9969r
It is nice to say - I was actually in that mix on the floor of Hammerstein - they played there Oct. 30th as well. “The Cure” was also Downtown at Irving Plaza that night. Two smaller venues with great acts.
I remember this moment - the walk thru the crowd at the beginning -
From wherever I was on the floor - I couldn’t see they were heading to that equipment enclave. It was an island 🏝️ where bands really didn’t play. But it was set up for that this night. They were then among us. It was an awesome 😎 moment.
Probably watched this video 10 times,wish I had a time machine. Concert looks nothing shy of magical.
I know a guy if your interested... lmk
I remember this time and concerts like this. I was so young!''90's were awesome! I always knew it was a special time stamp in history. If you weren't there at a certain age, you missed it bro. It was magical! Never will happen again!😎🤙🤘
that day was glorious. I'd love to talk to people who where there.
It was every bit as magical as it looks and sounds.
@@stemblackswan3901I wish so much that this could be true.
Born in 65, I feel for people now who will never know a real concert where everyone was as one, listening and singing and just enjoying life in real time together before cell phones and social media. You missed out and I'm sorry.
Boomerman
Those concerts are still alive today. Might take some finding though.
That's also my birth year. I agree...
@darrellw dobson '61 ;)
dieselrotor my sentiments exactly
Still love this song. Love Jane's Addiction. Memories of my youth, when things were simple and good. ❤️
Listening in 2020 the shittiest year ever!
Great
2020 is gonna kick tomorrow
Wait for 2021
...and then we had 2021
And now 2022 with disease and war. Lovely
This song has been in my head for a few days now, as it's coming up on the anniversary of my aunt's death from decades of drug abuse. If you are struggling with addiction or struggling to help a loved one get clean, I send good vibes your way, because picking up the pieces after losing someone to addiction sucks.
Thank you for sharing your heart break 💞 I listen to Jane Ssys to understand my Daughter, I listen to “She talks to Angels” as my POV. As I help raise 2 young children and 1 on the way to understand to try to love 💕 the person and cry for the “Jane” of it all consuming. Love to all Jane’s and Angels
Thanks
I’m coming out a bad addiction I was selling as well. I’m doing fine on my methadone n 15 mg Valium a day still an addict but it’s better than taking H every day!
@@bazglsgw1208 stay strong..you've got this
Sadly I too am living with the fall out of losing my only daughter to drugs. She was 24 and her name was Savannah Jane. Oh how I miss her beautiful soul 💜. I will never recover.
Dave in a skirt, Flea on bass and one of the best songs of all time!! Effing fabulous!!!
It screams 90s...Always takes me back.
Flea is the king of bass guitar
Sheila, you’re soo right. Hunkered down in Nor Cal waiting for the virus to end. AND IT WILL!!!
It's like sex. It builds and builds. Perry Farrell is one of the best showmen
Ace 1 Les Claypool
I love how when Dave starts playing, some of the more dedicated fans start cheering. But it's not until the steel drums kick in that everyone realizes they're playing Jane Says.
that was when he was still worth his salt
Real ones knew!!
Sacred experience! Love the 90s. What a time to be a younger person.
How good was it! Whole crowd in the moment without phones hahahahahah
This is life...at human scale, time, and emotion. It also shows empathy and compassion to the highest potential of humans, yet another literal meaning of this song is about substance misuse. A powerful song.
,,xboomboomx
Bush did 9/11
That was life! We lived it in the moment without worrying about reliving it and getting other people's approval for how we lived it. What other people thought about us in that moment was none of our business! 💪😁🙏😎
Well said
Amen!!
K
Amen Brother!
Stopped going to T in The Park after 2005, couldnae move for dafties with phones, grabbed one off a guy and flung it tae fuck in the middle of the Prodigy fuckin headlin! I had descended from outer space!
To me this will always be the best version of this song!
What an amazing crowd!! They did this song GREAT service!!!
I was at this concert! Loved every minute of it. Great to see this song again.
One thing I've learned in this life being a music lover as it were. Is that music transcends age and space. These guys love what they do. They were having fun and it wouldn't make any difference if this performance was in 1969 or 2001. They did an awesome job. Bravo
Their beauty shines radiates heals all...creativity they live the real life..true artists that created a culture...
I Agree
They were high as fuck lol. But, yes, I agree :)
Well...
Im gonna kick tomorrow
Yes young people...this was the 90's. It was kinda cool.
JonnyUnderrated yes very much so I went to Lolapooza 1 and 2 the energy was incredible the early 90s was a special time.
Kinda cool, it WAS COOL!!!
♡
It was so cool that I was still like this When2000came in
Hell Yeah , good music !
One of the most underrated songs of (literally) all time. Thank goodness today’s kids have much better taste than earlier generations!
I don't think better taste are covers and bad bunny
How does a complement of being under rated go to today's generation to insult that today's generation has better taste 🤔? I think you meant overrated.
100% agree with this statement completely underestimated song ever, huge talent ❤
When you're 57 years old you're as long as your own house dancing to this music and content you have learned how to live on your own
What I'd give to wake up and it be the 90s again.
1990's Del Mar Fairgrounds: Red Hot chili peppers, Nirvana and Janes Addiction. Was a great show!
Wow! Lucky! Nirvana was supposed to do Lollapalooza in NYC and then he died. I still went, but I was so bummed, not only that he died, but that I was finally going to see them live.
I was there. Great time
I was there hehe! Someone broke the water pipe from the mosh pit.
And All y'all remember the show? I only remember because I still have the ticket stub & got a parking ticket. Aawh the memories? Haha
DIDN'T LIKE ANY 80S OR 9ODS BANDS BUT THIS CREW KISKS ASS
I feel my youth flowing through my veins watching this....ohhhh to be young again...the BEST times!!!
Still great in 2023.
They sure are happy days John Norway 🎉.
2024 too
The two greatest songs of all time ! This and She sells Sanctuary !!!!!!
Yas...❤Perry& Ian
Yes agree
good taste
I got chills ❤️ I miss the 90
Love Jane's Addiction
Perfect example of how music doesn't have to be complicated to be great. This song always gave me such peace.
Thanks to some good drugs😊
This song is complicated
if ur reading this, and ur going through struggles just know u have my support and times get tough but just continue to keep going and kicking ass everyday, praying for u all, thank u jane’s addiction for this music ❤️
Dam right and thank you!!
Ya
@DoorKicker Never kick anyone while they're down. Unless you're a coward.
Thank you
Keep on living man
Jane says was the first song I ever heard by Janes Addiction. As I listened I thought to myself, this is the music I’ve been waiting for my whole life. As a matter of fact I was at this very show. There is nothing in the world quite like a Grateful Dead, but I’ve never felt freer then, a janes addiction concert, They hold your key and turn your note, I love them I mean it’s so so serious, like bits of puzzle fitting each other. And that makes me 1%
I hear you
Love your comment jimcarroll
Magic just magic so glad I lived through the 80s and 90s ❤
As weird as the 90's were, I miss them. I wish I could go back.
Amazing how special a concert can be when you’re a part of the moment instead of a part of the film crew broadcasting the whole thing on your cell phone. This show has so much energy, incredible.
I was at an RHCP concert the other day and I just can't imagine how people watching through their phones the whole time are enjoying it. To each their own I suppose.
Could listen to this on repeat for the rest of time. Reminds me of student beach parties in the mid 90s
I saw them twice in the 90’s and it was a trip. Would have killed someone to get to this show....
It was EPIC
This looks electric. Such a mystic vibe. Wish I could have experienced it.
Flea + Dave Navarro = Pure Magic. I wish they never parted.
This is literally our favorite RUclips video. The authenticity about it. ❤❤
Jane's Addiction is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1985. The band's original lineup consisted of vocalist Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, bassist Eric Avery, and drummer Stephen Perkins. They are known for blending alternative rock, punk, and metal influences into their music, and for their dynamic live performances.
"Jane Says" is a song by Jane's Addiction, released on their 1987 self-titled debut album. The song is a poignant acoustic ballad, featuring lyrics about a woman named Jane who is struggling with drug addiction and homelessness. Despite the serious subject matter, the song has a catchy melody and has become one of the band's most popular and enduring songs. It has been covered by numerous artists and has been featured in films and TV shows.
Thanks for the info…
Saw James Addiction twice in the early 90s. Never felt energy flow through the crowd like that at any show I've been to. One of the greatest shows I ever went to. You kidds today would have loved this era of music. Damn I really miss it.
James addiction.,........!? Learn to spell
Uh, Rob I think maybe you saw a cover band... 🤣
I worked a bar called Video Bar in Deep Ellum( door girl) in Dallas in the early 90's after the first Lollapolusa we had an after party for all the bands I actually got to sit and drink with these guys as well as all the other bands. It was magical 😁
Dude I lived in Irish man I've been there done that is so funny kid I went to Kid Rock still it was the greatest the dimension are Metallica show us best
I meant to say mention as so I know how to spell
Love it when they all sing SHE CANT HIT
But I can !
Oh but she can
This is not Paul this is kama
Ugh…nobody has this stage presence anymore.
Take us back! 80's & 90's music scene pure before the interwebs and Iphones , no crapa ass social media
Everything about this if you were there in person must have been chillingly cool and so damn surreal. Drugs or no drugs u were f’ing loving u were there and alive. Everyone is in the moment. No phones to ruin anything...
Nah, man, shit like this you barely even recognize at the time. I mean, it seems like the cutting edge, yet somehow or another, it's just another Thursday. I'm 42 and still sorting through (and recontextualizing) the wreckage of my 20's.
***as we watch on our phones lmao
I remember JA with the tiki setup. It swayed around so much I thought it could fall! Great show. Flea filled on bass in a red toga. Vibrant atmosphere.
I was there, and you are right, although I was tripping. ;D
I was there, it was as cool as you think it was.
best version of janes says hands down.
William Geoghegan its no longer a sad song, which is a sad song, its just a celebration of the gift of Perry
Totally agree this is the perfect version....never get tired of this song!
Except the one you saw live, says every Jane fan! Mine was Coachella when they actually moved the stage during a break we thought show was over then lights up Dave and Perry about 6-8 feet from us okay maybe 20 but we went from the schmucks tripping on shrooms in the back to front row seats when the ecstasy kicked in! Best version of been caught stealing for sure but this open is epic thanks for bringing to my attention. A critical band in my medical evolution - still love the lyrics
John Galt and Dave Navarro love his way of telling the story to Perry’s words
Wish it were.
SHE CANT HIT.......I've got goosebumps
I got to see Jane's Addiction in 2011 & it was amazing!! Glad that I can say I saw them live. 💜
Dude not many videos of live show can convey the vibe and energy properly but this made me feel transported to the moment. This shit really tied my day together.
Starting my morning watching Perry's Hips & Dave rockin that skirt !
That 12 string Navarro is rockin thou..
💯
I was introduced to Jane's my last year in highschool and fell in love. I saw them my first time at Lollapalooza in 1991. Consistantly moved by their music to this day anytime I hear it.
I was 4 days old. Wish I grew up in this time. Drives me nuts sometimes.
I was 20 during this concert if I had a time machine I would take us all back
String theory.
it was a great time. Music was wild and not run thru a computer, the crowds were cool, all there for a fun time. and this will be with us for a long time past the current junk out there.
I was in college then. It was a difficult time in my life. Uncertainty and anxiety. Might be even worse now to be young teen or 20s. Not too worried about it now. I've got land and tools and guns. Trump is finally going down and government corruption will finally be going away.
But, you are diggin' this stuff, now, here, who knows, you might have ended up not liking stuff like this ; but you are here, with the rest of us , enjoying this gift
STILL the best live performance Ive ever seen - Jane's Addiction @ the 1st Lollapalooza in Dallas.
This song lasted for like 30 minutes - awesome.
First time watching this and I was just thinking the same thing- I saw them @ the 1st Lollapalooza in Irvine Meadows, Ca.
1st Lollapalooza, Raleigh/Durham N.C.,I didn't know what to expect, my European brothers took me, when this man started his art, I was mind fcuked! I had been to Live Aid in the 80's but man this festival was unbelievable!
I’m 61 and I love this damn song/video.
60 brother
I saw them the next night after this at hammerstein ballroom. Next to pink floyd it was best concert ever been at. The room was electric. Once in lifetime experience. I was in balconey right above where they did jane says
this is one of the coolest things ive ever seen in my life
Please explain why you think that?
@@HyperInflation2020 well he thought it was his idea to do smokey eye on a guy...then he saw dave navarro. Hahahahaha jk
Saw them in 1986 in Fullerton, they opened up for my favorite band at the time... Agent Orange. I remember saying how freaky good Jane's Addiction was that night.
Back in the 90’s I got back stage with Perry and Flea after a concert at the Roxy and I will never forget it. Thank you Perry for remembering my old surf friend Matt Campbell. RIP Matt
Perry should be the media poster child for the Corona Virus with that hair style. He’s rockin it.
This is eternal.
Agree.
Correct
My senior year in high school. God the nineties were the best for music. And life. We were lucky.
I am 60 years old, and I don't know why I love this music. 😊
No doubt one of the top 100 performances LIVE of all time!!! BAM! A Home Run!!!
Fucking sick as hell. The intro is epic. Before the vocals. Love the whistling.
The whistling IS just genius
