Jane's Addiction - Mountain Song (Hammerstein Ballroom)

[x1nt3ns]

fuck the police

[GuitarMacable]

that looks like the drummer of the foo fighters before he left and got replaced with taylor hawkins

[MrJohnMonster]

why are none of them wearing shirts?

[missumuggins]

orgasmic

[angiepippi]

Full Metal Kilt!

[Ecoastmogley]

I love this pure emotion what music conveys expression beyond words

[Ecoastmogley]

PROBABLY CRYSTAL

[AvirtualSwitzerland]

@Ecoastmogley .....Injecting meth raises field peformance. This proves it. This isn't fair, they're juicing for Christ's sake. There goes the Hall of Fame votes.

[WazzaDoctor]

I would have loved to be at this gig. Brilliant. Jane's Addiction's new albums need a bit of Flea action

[angiepippi]

Having Flea in the same room must have caused a wobble in the space time continuum that threw Perry off a little bit, but otherwise a very good live set of this song. The highlight for me being Dave's metal kilt. Badass, even though his facial hair was always a little too pointy.

[Bulldog22031]

cant believe this came out in 88

[PGoose63]

Sounds like Readymade RHCP at the opening

[ChipAnnaChair]

25 scumbags with no taste. They all need to be smacked in the mouth

[guitdude09]

I love live and breathe Janes addiction, but perry sounds like shit here, im sorry haha, the rest sound great.

[ShortyDammit]

@guitdude09 You try singing 90+ minutes every night for months on end. See how you sound. He sounds fine to me here. Have you never been to a concert?

[guitdude09]

@ShortyDammit im not denying its hard, but he's off so what, i still like them, yes ive been to a few janes concerts. Im glad he sounds fine to you, he sounds off to me.

[ShortyDammit]

@guitdude09 If you heard recordings from the shows you've been to (not just Jane's) you'd think everybody sounded "off." Live music isn't the CD, sorry to tell you.

[guitdude09]

@ShortyDammit yeah i fucking get it dickhead, i wasnt saying anything but that perry sounds like shit a little, get the fuck over yourself dont you have anyone else to talk to?, fuck off. Geez thanks for the heads up on live music, i never knew anything until you told me. fuck off !

[ShortyDammit]

@guitdude09 Don't cry too hard.

[paddlesailnitro]

saw 'em this summer from 20' away. According to Perry, he's on weed and wine, nothing else now. Navarro is just smoking cigarettes. All I know is, it was 103 degrees out (GOTV 7-23-11) and the band was ON!!

[hutchbeartrap22]

christ i love this band.

[fowter1]

perfectly suited for flea

[RHLOVERX]

THIS GUY REALLY KNOWS WHO HE IS!

[gianlucaledda]

Cresciuto con loro!! grandissimi

[Antman1317]

Jinjo**

[Antman1317]

Jinlo i agree mtv is a joke

[TheJinjo75]

I remember this. They aired some of it live on MTV. Like Stop and 3 days. Now MTV is a joke but before it rule.

[Burlacu95]

This reminds me of Revolution from Judas Priest!

[KitRamsey1]

[proximity1620]

It's sad seeing stuff like this man... obviously, people jacked up on herion can sing their asses off... I guess their vocal chords can't handle it or something cause for some reason, they always wind up barely able to sing lmao

[rollingsucka]

One of the damn best songs from the 80's.

[KatKillsFoos]

FUCKING GREAT

[saiyanblade84]

They're live on YouTube right now.... but they don't look as cool. The singer cut his crazy hair.

[QuimShtank]

good goddamn song my friends.

[noiseonlyplease]

this was the era when john was gone right?

[aztlan667]

@noiseonlyplease Are you talking about Eric Avery, their original bassist? Yes, this was their "relapse" tour that Eric declined to be part of.

[noiseonlyplease]

@aztlan667 oh ok, thanks alot. yeah i just know that john was not there like for about 5 or a few years. so yeah i didnt see him there. well i forgot that eric was gone too, thanks man. its cool to flea there. awesome thanks. ♥

[noiseonlyplease]

[TheBukrules]

This was the first song I heard when Nothing's Shocking came out & it remains my favorite Jane's Addiction song. Love Flea here....

[MarzakProductions]

I'm sorry, I love the band and all, but i find no reason why anyone would find him attractive... XD

[MachintoshCJ]

A weird sensation is going through my body when I listen to this song.

[luckthegambino]

3:14 - 3:28... Wowzerz!!!

[luckthegambino]

Heroin is one hell of a drug.

[ArtemisFlyingV]

@Polaf3456 Hey, if they're on Heroin it upgraded their performance ten fold man! lol

[ashervin75]

@Polaf3456 I certainly hope he was blasted out of his mind! I love Perry and have worshiped him since the late 80s!

[deadgent]

@Polaf3456 ye, all these years and look at his shape... of course they don't do the street stuff ....

[vladetadj]

@Polaf3456

There is lot of people on heroin, but PF is only one ....he is artist on heroin.

[ShortyDammit]

@vladetadj @Polaf3456 Actually, Perry Farrell has been clean for a long, long time, including before this 1997 tour, if I'm not mistaken.

[codberg33]

Happy Birthday Dave!

[FRMOutsideSpace]

[TerribleFlaite]

[jrw0001]

Perry is almost a half-step flat throughout the song.

[T103168]

Dave kills the solo HELL YEAH ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

[RyanTerpstra93]

what an unusual bunch

[jtminutisme1]

The only other band that I have seen live, and that can keep it real, other than Jane's Addiction, is RUSH, and that is very hard to beat

[engineengines]

[EvilWayz650]

We all know the song is great, the video is off the hook major kudos to Jane's Addiction. Dave Navarro kills that solo...... on a skirt = )

[Robiskool1234]

perry was and is like a cool, talented, and original lady gaga.

[hisss711]

@Robiskool1234 Um no. Lady Gaga is manufactured shock by a record company. Perry Farrell was, is, and hopefully always will be an artists.

[Robiskool1234]

@hisss711 thats what i said.

[theamazinghairball]

that guitarist has some epic moves. :D

HOLY SHIT. I was at this show!!!!! Halloween night 1997, one of the best nights of my life!! The show was sold out but I actually snuck into Hammerstein Ballroom when this punk kid pried open one of the side door,s and I got in right before security closed it again. So lucky! I can't believe I just found this footage. Thanks SO MUCH eXfirestarter2, you ROCK!!!

[LawrisZ]

Main, I love the bassline.

[0123453gearsofwar]

[MrSurfdevil]

[moserr11]

could have been the greatest band that never was



[saint7370]

brings me back to colledge..love this group(notice flea on bass!)

[vertigokisses]

@Carpx11 I've seen some great shows in my life as well, but this one was different (even for Perry). Personally, I'm a Patton fan, but his passion is for the music. I don't think he even cares if we're there. This one was for the people. And Flea KILLED it by the way. :D

[vertigokisses]

@Carpx11 To top it off, he climbed up these free-standing tiers where the girls were dancing, and made sure to sing to everyone on the upper balcony too. Three Days was the most energetic thing I have ever witnessed. The ceiling opened up with confetti and balloons. It was unimaginable. I look back on it like it was a dream.

[vertigokisses]

@Carpx11 band marched through the crowd (that's right, no bodyguards) and they climbed onto a small island stage with a bunch of drums. That's where they played Jane Says. He was able to make eye contact with everyone on the low balcony (I know bc that's where I was standing, about 15 feet away), and even

sang Classic Girl to a random girl who would have been stuck in back.

[vertigokisses]

@Carpx11 - '@Carpx11 - 'Tis true. I've always been a huge fan. There was nothing like this, and I think I did know at the time. After all, I dropped out of college to be there. I also gambled by buying a fake ticket on the street for $60/$80... not sure anymore. I think I was 19 at the time. Jane says was the most intense thing ever. The great thing about that was, everyone rushed the stage before they even came on, but Perry had bigger plans---After two or three songs, the entire...

[infirmaryblues]

This is like the official song for being self destructive

[07BSPtC]

This is good, but Jane's Addiction will always be Perry, Dave, Stephen, and Eric. Not Flea no matter how much I like Flea. I saw them with Eric and with Mike Watt and even though Watt is my favorite bassist it just didn't feel right.

[WhitikerForest]

classic tune!!!

[unclechipper]

He can sing though.

[murderousbastard83]

@unclechipper Maybe kareoke. But nothing else.

[unclechipper]

@murderousbastard83 wrong.There is proof.Research the success they had.Bar singers don't generate anything close.

[murderousbastard83]

@unclechipper What about Justin Bieber?!!!! Gotcha there didn't I?

[unclechipper]

@murderousbastard83Wow,you pulled out the J.Bieber card?You may have trapped yourself.It doesn't matter what you or I think about Biebs.The free market decides.And the free market has decided that he has something.That same free market decided that Jane's Addiction had something,and that Perry Ferrel should have been the front man.Personally I like his voice with that band.It meshed well with their style and persona. His voice was flat out unique and had a lot of energy behind it.

[murderousbastard83]

@unclechipper Yeah that's true it's unique. But you know what else is flat? His pitch! Lol. 

[Hardtack444]

the singer is a douche

[TopaColaThunder]

Take a Little sip;)

[vertigokisses]

One of the best shows I ever witnessed... Perry makes sure every body in the house is in full participation. I dropped out of college to be there with giant hand-made butterfly wings and a fake ticket on Halloween. Totally worth it! I can't believe they let me in. The fire marshal ended up closing the doors, because Hammerstein was way over capacity. That place was going off. No energy like Jane's energy. So sexual and vibrant!

[Carpx11]

@vertigokisses well if thats true(just saying) that is freaking cool cause the performance of" jane says" totally could be the " best performance of anysong off all time" . Believe me when i tell you I have listened and watched tons and tons of concerts of many bands. Did you know you were seeing something that could really be that freaking cool at the time?

[yonkytriel]

VIVA LA JUANA !!!

[iLoveBillHicks86]

Brilliant.

[LoneRage]

This live version surpasses any studio version, unbelievable!!! Is it the ballroom? What do you think? I never get tired of it! Live forever Janes Addiction Mountain song! That it ranks up there among/ along with Led Zeppelin "Stairway to Heaven"!!!!!

[goodfatben]

Good song!

[frownytown]

 This song is so primal and raw. Fom the deep, dirty bass line, to Perry's ethereal chants, everything about this track is purely grimy!.

[YourDayHasEnded]

If only we all could look so good , nearly 15 years later after doing so much smack and other mind altering, banned, illegal, and running down the mountain. How the fuck are the boys still standing. Looking forward to their new project, out maybe this year. Thumbs up to that ladies and gents!

: ) FLYING down the MT ( the way to go)

[cpazsitzky]

Still amazing.

[jlennon2010]

[tvo79]

Jane's Hot Chili Addiction

[AllTheCloudsArePink]

@AllTheCloudsArePink fleas playing temporarily in the band, which means it a sort of combination between JA and RHCP

[AllTheCloudsArePink]

@wagwanmanx LOL, I meant the addiction part  :D

[AllTheCloudsArePink]

@wagwanmanx I meant the addiction part. ;)
