I saw Warrant at Bachinal (sp) in San Diego in the early 90’s shortly after 80’s metal was eclipsed by the Seattle scene. There were 50 people there. 2 years earlier they were selling out arenas. Their equipment failed 1 song into the set. Jani Lane improvising, sat at the electric piano and with a single mic proceeded to play a collection of Queen and Beatles covers while sharing a bottle of tequila. What a gem he was.
Metal was never taken over by grunge. They just took a break and watched a comedy that ended in tragedy, once that shit show ended they got off their ass and showed those crying ass suicidal twatwaffles what it is too be Rock stars and have talent
Saw them at the Ritz in Detroit (Roseville) in 1989 right as Down Boys was just released. It was one of the best shows ever. It was before they really made it big so they were still hungry. I saw them about 4 more times. Still love them to this day and listen to the first 3 albums (the whole album) all the time.
I totally get why Jani struggled so much going from playing stadiums to playing large bars. They were a top national act in hard rock, gave great shows, and just because music changed, they are relegated to playing large bars. Would be very humbling, a bitter pill to swallow for sure.
Harpos was an awesome place for Rock. 3 bars, a disco era lit floor in middle, and a killer PA system. Saw Warrant there in 1995, and got road head on the way home. RIP Jani.
Jani was a HUGE talent who sadly got lost in the hair metal heap. Most people know the first 2 records, but to me, his later work was his best. I got to meet him at a solo show in Baltimore and he was clearly not well. It's sad, because he was an incredible songwriter. Ultraphobic and Back Down to One are among his best work.
49:21....Face! Just another example and proof that he was hands down the best true songwriter of the hair band era ( studio version appears on their covers album they released around this time). And Anything Anything......I dig it!
totally agree bro...played drums ....guitar....keyboards.....sang....wrote all Warrant's big songs....and most of everything else....and did them all really well
I saw these guys on this tour in Kearney Nebraska and they tore the roof off the shit hole. College kids showed up looking for a laugh and they all left thoroughly impressed
Loved Jani....but even Jani himself said...if any reason for whatever the reason he be out of Warrant....Robert Mason should become their singer....And he Did ; continues to do a very well job.
I lost count of how many Harpo shows I went to. I also liked the light up dance floor they had. Back in the day, I got to dance with a lady I didn't know. Awsome time.
@@VmShpman82 I should of said 80s home away from home, when they changed ownership in the early 90s, it was never the same My first concert there was Seduce and Metallica in 1982, My last concert was Korn in 1993.
can you imagine if the song "face" had been released in 1992 and was on the Dog Eat Dog record? It would have been a hit. I mean, if "always" was a hit for bon jovi in 93-94, "Face" could have been. Jani was a better songwriter than 99% of the the musicians in the genre, and probably would have scored a hit for another artist as a ghostwriter had he lived longer.
Erik Turner, Jerry Dixon were in Warrant with Jani. So yeah, this is WARRANT. Steven and Jerry left in 94, were they supposed to just stay home and do nothing?
I saw warrant around this time in Orlando at a little club but billy Morris was on the guitar. Jani was being a bit of a butthead haha. He kept going around the stage sticking his tongue between his fingers like he did in this video and he said after awhile if you don’t like me doing that then you probably shouldn’t be here. 😧 Im glad to find this video because I don’t remember too much about the show because this hot babe kept flirting with me haha. Anyway it’s been ten years Jani. RIP. I guess you really did ride high and free
Jani was a great singer, frontman ans songwriter. Too bad he constantly lowered himself to using F bombs all the time over and over. It made him uncool.
Jani is the most underrated and unappreciated lead singer in history great songwriter as well RIP Jani
you got that right
1 BILLION PERCENT CORRECT !! VERY underrated and one of the BEST EVER !!!
So underrated
absolutely true. he was amazing in every sense
i dont think hes underated, hes loved by his fans all over the world, its jus the dopey music critics that underated him
I wish i could turn the clock back and saw them in the 80's - Jani you were a greater gift than you ever realized 😢
They were more like in the early 90s
coming out of the late 80s

Wow, sounds like you got to experience a hell of a show. Consider yourself lucky, I got to see them in 2002 I think with whitesnake. They rocked.

What a great story! Thanks for sharing. I wish there was video of this.
Sat night , whiskey, watching the whole concert and feel like I got my moneys worth and more, yet its 20 odd years later. Warrent rocks!!
What a great frontman & singer Jani was. Saw Warrant opening for Poison on The Flesh & Blood Tour. RIP Jani
I saw them on tour in support of Ultraphobic.....Great fuckin album & Great club show.
Saw them again in 04.
I love the heavienest of Warrant live.
Hard to believe it was 20 years ago. JL died too young a forever underrated songwriter, singer, kickass frontman.
Was 1/2 way through watching this concert when I posted. Then i noticed the previous comment from 2 mths earlier said the same thing about him.
He shouldn't have died like that. When he needed help no one was there.

I saw them at The Ritz also opining for Paul Stanley in 1989

The funny thing is that, by 2000, grunge was a distant memory, while a lot of the 80s big hitters were still going.
@@Rosario_Verano we can probably thank POISON for the 80's resurrection in 1999.
@@Rosario_Verano Its Still goin on
@@bls8959 Post-Grunge doesn't count.
@@Rosario_Verano I'm not talking about grunge
I saw them in Minneapolis on the Cherry Pie tour with poison. It was the best party ever! Rest in peace , song and dance man.🤘
Lucky you! Wish i was there
My first concert was that one 🤘🏼
@@gregcoleman5485 hell yeah good way to start ! You're not the old punter for the Vikings are you?
Richard Albert if only I had $1 every time I heard that one man.
wow what a great show! Jani had a great presence and command of the stage. I wish so much I could have seen him play when he was alive
His vocals were still so good here, I Saw Red was fire!!!
Harpos was an awesome place for Rock. 3 bars, a disco era lit floor in middle, and a killer PA system. Saw Warrant there in 1995, and got road head on the way home. RIP Jani.
Jani...special talent for sure.
I miss this kind of music.
I was at this show!! Jani love you so much. So cool.
Jani Lane - vocals
Erik Turner - guitar
Keri Kelly - guitar
Jerry Dixon - bass
Mike Fasano - drums
Keri Kelly is the greatest Quick fix fill in guitarist.
I've seen him playing for Slash's Snakepit , L.A Guns & warrant.
Fasano is a beast
Jani was so talented and always was so engaging. The dude had charisma
Great band, great show, great vocalist
Love it when Jani says "if I offended you tonight you probably should've come in the first place"!
What a most excellently shot and high-quality Warrant video! Thanks so much for sharing.

Belly to Belly is good as well.

Their cover of Dead Jail or Rock n Roll is 100% 🔥×'$ 89🤘
Maybe one of the best cover albums ever.
Super post. Thanks for the upload
오랫만에 Warrant가 추억에 잠길 수 있어 좋았다:)
Saw these guys at the pine knob my sophomore year in high school!! Always did like Jani and thought they sounded great, RIP Jani
I saw these guys on this tour in Kearney Nebraska and they tore the roof off the shit hole. College kids showed up looking for a laugh and they all left thoroughly impressed
Ooooow Jani ... miss you :(
R.I.P.
I saw this show in Hampton Beach NH. It was awesome!
I actually posted that show from Hampton Beach too! It's at ruclips.net/video/4kRq8rkCQ7o/видео.html
There will never be another jani lane!!!!!
is that a promise?
Loved Jani....but even Jani himself said...if any reason for whatever the reason he be out of Warrant....Robert Mason should become their singer....And he Did ; continues to do a very well job.
I didnt even know "I Saw Red" was based on a true story, but somehow from the lyrics, I felt it was based on a true story.
What an awesome show.
great show.
Didn't know Jani was still alive when Lit was around, thanks for sharing this.
They came to Detroit where the Down Boys go !!!!
Happen to own the live album they recorded at harpo's ?
It would have been cool to have that solo on the album version of Crawl Space.
Twenty yrs old time flys
Harpo's, home away from home🤘

Descansa en paz.

This video is about playing music for fans.
Billy Rips on 🎸 💯✌️
Ok that’s Erik solo ??? Why is not playing it ??

Erik Turner, Jerry Dixon were in Warrant with Jani. So yeah, this is WARRANT. Steven and Jerry left in 94, were they supposed to just stay home and do nothing?
No spandex pants and makeup?! Way better..... gawd dammit Jani!!🙏🙏
Sooooo, did they just go back to bring a cover - band playing shit bars after grunge?
Who was the Lead Gutair Player Keri Kellie or Billy Morris
Kerri Kelly
Billy Morris came in a year or 2 after this

Jani was the sweetest guy he just hurt too much like me
There is always help Nikki. Hope you are well, God bless.
if this is POP star Nikki Sixx then....what a joke.

Horrible
Some members are for hired players. But Jani is amazing!
