Similar sentiments as well. What an amazing show. I remember Body Count priming the pump for NIN and then the eventual avalanche of people breaking through security into th pavillion. I was awe struck at the perfromance that Janes put on. Changed my life. Lamenting those days quite a bit of late. Seen Janes a few times in the past 5 years and it has yet to be as good as it was back then.
So many of the conforming nonconformists are here. "I hated when frat boys listened to MY music" kind of BS. I'll bet you all wore black, smoked, and ate together and made fun of the frat guys. So I guess you're different? Good logic.
I was at this show. They did not even finish the set. They were lit and so was I. Damn that was a long time ago. Perry went off about some very anti religious BS.
Sorry but I was ALWAYS an outsider and not because I listened to Jane's but because I was way more open-minded then all those fucks! Music was an open door and all those clowns were afraid to walk through it!!! I never gave upon a band because they became popular, I just felt sorry for the assholes who took so long to realize how great they were!!!!
i missed this show ... but went in 92 and was annoyed by Pearl Jam there . (i still hate them) Ministry made up for it big time though. I missed out on alot of 90's music because if i heard a song on the raidio , i wnted nothing to do with it . now listening... i dont mind Nirvana and STP amd even Soundgarden like i used to .
Was at this show, I remember 100's of ppl rushing the security barricade (including myself) between the lawn and the pavillion to get closer to the stage. I don't think the security staff they hired were prepared for the situation. Anyways, what a great show...It was the first, and best Lollapalooza tour IMO. Every year after that, it seemed too contrived....I felt like I was a fish on a hook for even buying a ticket. The bands were ok..but it just didnt feel the same.
they need to release an hq dvd of one of their old shows from this tour...the dvd of the tour with flea was alright, and the voodoo dvd sucked. They need to release shows like these, the good stuff.
That pit was insane. The heat was nearly unbearable. Most of the people who ended up on stage did so to escape the insanity. There was a bouncer at the end of the aisle right before the pit, he was holding on to the rails separating the first row from the pit and doing a god damned admirable job of holding back the crowed that was all pushing forward... until the rail came out. Poor guy. Nearly twenty years later, that show is as vivid as it would be if I happened yesterday.
LMFAO, I see some of the comments and fucking emo music LMFAO

I WAS AT THIS SHOW TOO! Do you have any more footage from this Janes show? The parts where they don't finish songs and Perry goes off about getting BJ's and stuff? That first lollapalooza was great.
Saw this tour in Toronto when I was 19yrs old. Grew up on Metal and going to lots of concerts before this, but this one scared the shit out of me and changed my life. This is definately back when music still felt dangerous. Go see a show now and hold your smartphone in the air along with 10,000 other idiots. I'm happy to have been a kid in the late 80's early 90's.
@cmartin519 so happy for ya that you were there in the midst of all that angst. The AIC show last month in Seattle was the wildest ive seen in a long time guards were not seeing anything and people were outta control...I brought my 12 year old and lets just say he got a taste of old school mayhem
Navarro's solos are so amazing... and Eric's bass lines drop so hard. I would love to see whole show in good quality from this era... they were just the sickest act around at that time!
I remember this tour as the coming together of the outcast tribes. The goths, the punks, the skaters... all celebrating our freakhood together. No one else knew or cared. This was like the last moment it was "ours". Only one month later, Nirvana would release Nevermind and the scene would be changed forever. By Christmas of that year, the frat guy I delivered pizzas with was reciting the lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and I got this sick little feeling in the pit of my stomach.
So So true kaos monkey. I stumbled across this and remember Perry getting pissed about the glow stick incident. I was tripping my balls off and staring at this chick who would morph into snake at the back of the lawn. so many memories of this first lollapalloza tour. Great ,Great show.
I would like to say I no longer advocate the use of Hallucinogens like LSD. I am not saying I did not have fun. However, Serious hallucinogens are in my opinion highly dangerous-especially to those who are even a tiny bit psychologically unsound upon ingesting them. Further, it is because they are so spiritually opening. Modern psychology because of its atheistic paradigm never addresses this peril. Not saying you are gonna lose your soul but you could. God Bless one and all.
@kaosmonkeyBG everybody credits Nirvana! Yet anyone who was there knows it was Jane's and The Pixies that started that swell which eventually formed the perfect wave, when it crashed on the shore, out spit Nirvana with their single. Then Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc. All great bands--but comparing them to Jane's is like comparing other actors to Brando.
@Fakename70 I was being "elitist" by remembering what it was like to be an outcast? Let me guess. You're in a frat. You little boys are all so high strung. Roid rage much?
I'm 41 --- not in a frat --- and, never did I think back then it was "the coming together of the outcast tribes" or whatever. It was just good music, remember? Who gives a fuck if frat boys got into it too? Why would having all types getting into JA and the rest of the bands seen on 120 Minutes give you a "sick little feeling"? That's just another way of saying "outsiders keep away". That makes you no different from those who made you feel like an outcast in the first place.
@Fakename70 All I hear you saying is "I am a very bitter man who enjoys hating on people, especially when they can't see my face." I took the time to write a description of the way I felt 20 years ago. Let me say that again, 20 years ago. Get over it.
Exactly who is it that I'm "hating on"? It wasn't me who got physically ill because someone outside my comfort zone listened to the same music as me. That was YOU, remember? It may have been 20 years ago, but, it doesn't sound to me like you've gotten over it at all. From the way you automatically assumed I'm one of the "little boys in a frat" and then responded accordingly, clearly you haven't.
@Fakename70 Let be more descriptive. I was one of maybe 4 people in my high school who was listening to this stuff. I was shat upon as much for my musical tastes as much as for the fact that I rode a skateboard. To find out that the hockey player types who had made my life hell were suddenly into the same music I'd been listening to for years did not make me happy. How is that hard to understand? Seriously.
No, let ME be more descriptive. You're talking to someone who grew-up black in a painfully and predominately white suburb of Seattle in the 1970's-1980's. Do you really believe you're the only one who's ever been "shat upon"? And, you're crying about some "hockey player types" listening to Jane's fucking Addiction? Wow. News Flash: you're only 2-3 years younger than me. We're not in junior high anymore. Time to move on. Now, "how is that hard to understand? Seriously."
@Fakename70 Wow. Just wow. I was at this show. My 20th birthday, in fact. Spent a good portion of the earlier acts wandering through the immense crowd. I recall that beautiful sunset and then Jane's taking the stage and painting the crowd with Three Days and Then She Did. Sort of a 'things will never be the same again', moment. I feel like I've just traveled back in time. Been feeling that a lot, lately. Hello HC,sorry that I never found you in the crowd.
@kaosmonkeyBG Yeah, I saw the Fairfax, Va. show. Blew me away. After the show it was like walking around in the aftermath where some bomb had been set off. Only other concert I felt like that after was Pink Floyd at JFK in Philly in '87.
Amazing. I was there too. Rushed the pavilion with a bottle of cheap wine, head full of LSD and my high school sweetheart. It was the summer I graduated high school. Vivid memories of that day. Thanks for the upload.
Thanks for posting. I was there somewhere. The Up the Beach opening of this show was amazing. 1991 was a good year for concerts in NE Ohio. Got to see primus for 9 bucks a couple of weeks after this however, I digress. thanks again.
This was the clip of the day on the AudioNeedle fan page on facebook. Become a fan and show your love for Jane's Addiction. Simply log into facebook and search for AudioNeedle become a fan and comment..
wow, nothing like a shameless plug of your own band!! if I ever resort to youtube comments to push my band, I would expect a dear friend to shoot me in the face..
There are no more bands like this band with its quality and magic that has gone long ago. Sad but true. But what lives on FOREVER is their fabulous music and message.
Then I read rumors of them breaking up and it made sense. So I saw them at Irvine Meadows for Lollapalooza and as i was walking out of the arena I heard Pelly (The Gift) say this was their last show blah blah and then they played Jane Says acoustic. I remember thinking "man what a great band and what a weird ( i was stoned) ending." Well I guess they're still around but they captured a period of time in LA that i'll never forget. Rock on Janes!
I was there too - a completely amazing live experience. I remember Perry flashing the crowd with some transvestite costume at some point. I was really tripping at the time. Anyway - one of the best concerts I can remember was that first Lollapalooza - great crowd, great vibe, amazing music - it was a moment that would be hard to ever emulate.
My memory was The Ritual tour in 91 in LA and Perry was either drunk, stoned, both, pissed, drugged or all of the above because he just went through the show as quickly as possible and was insulting the crowd. sayin shit like "you paid your money so here we are blah blah blah... It was a cool stage( Xmas lights strewn and good lighting, but just a shitty attitude).
fun to read the comments. i was at this show as well, i can see my buddies in the vid. i was 15, my first concert. more like a riot. it is like a dream to see this video. i think about august 5th every year when it comes around. i finally saw jane's again last week, front row, it was like a family reunion with all the 30 somethings. they sounded great, perry is a beam of light, dave and eric looked like they were doing their chores, and stephen is beautiful. these guys figured out rock.
I, too, was at this show! What a gem!! Remember standing on the side of the pavillion with some dude in a bucket hat reciting Public Enemy to the security guard. At some point he said 'do you really think you're gonna hold us back when jane's comes on?' - lights went down, bass from Up the Beach sounded, and we literally blasted through the blockade and into the pit...intense energy; intense show!!
I was at this show too. The craziness actually started with Ice-T then just exploded with NIN. I was standing against the rope when it was cut and instantly was midway up the pavilion. I have seen 100s of concerts and I still think this Lollapalooza show was the best. It was absolutely insane and literally had something for everyone. Any other footage from this show would be greatly appreciated if you have it.
Oh my GOD....I was at this concert. In fact, I think you can see me in a couple shots here. It was a very wild show and I don't think the security was prepared for the event. They had a rope separating the lawn from the pavilion. Right before NIN went on, the rope was cut then all hell broke out. This set ended early because someone threw a glow stick at Perry and it caught him in the eye. I wish I had this whole show like this...even a bootleg. If anyone has more info, please post!
Oh man, a battle between chaos and order alright. I remember the look of abject terror on the face of one of the security guards as he clung to one lone section of steel security fencing when the NIN explosion happened. They got it all back under control for Souixsie's set, but as soon as the first chord of "Up the Beach" rang out, that was me and the rest of the lawn crashing our way towards the stage. There was just no stopping that sea of people. Great reading all the memories!
@mgordonf73 - I started the day on the lawn and ended close enough to slap Dave's guitar ( I didn't but I could have). It was nuts. I met the guys from Body Count. What a day.
@mgordonf73 Actually, the rope broke during NIN. Body Count got people going, and one song into NIN's set the rope broke. This was before Broken even came out. No one expected, knew how heavy it would be. and lets not forget that Siouxie kicked total ass right before Janes.
@mgordonf73 I too was at this show! I made it all day and then lost a shoe during Jane's...I ended up on stage and quickly escorted to the left side of the stage.
I was fn there man!!! I was fn there!! I broke my ankle and lost a shoe when the crowd from the lawn rushed the stage!! Best concert ever!!! Rock out!!
This was the second time I saw janes. It was the most intense show Ive ever seen and Im 46 and have gone to hundreds of shows When janes took the stage everyone from the lawn came down in the pavillon. Janes was one of the best live bands of the 90's even on drugs. Thanks for the video
I was there too! This is the one time I saw Janes and it's still the best show I've ever seen. My theory is that with this being the first show in Cleveland NIN had done since conquering the world with Pretty Hate Machine (The crowd rushed the stage for them too remember), Perry and the gang kicked it up a notch to show no one could out rock them. And they weren't wrong! Perry's most memorable line of the night..."I'm so horny I need a blowjob from god himself!".
Oh, and I saw Perry do a "spoken word" show at the Roxy once and also saw him sing "Pigs in Zen" with the Nymphs at the Coconut Teaszer. He just jumped on stage and took the mike after the Nymphs singer teased him into it. It friggen rocked....
It's bands like Jane's Addiction that keep me from following any current bands. There is absolutely nothing out nowadays that even comes close to matching Jane's Addiction power and musical talent. I'm 40 years old now but am glad that I was able to see Jane's Addiction when I was young. I caught them twice at Club Scream in LA, once at the Universal Amphitheater, twice at the John Anson Ford Theater, and one last time at the first Lollapalooza. They were absolutely in their prime then.
Rage against the machine were a very good band. I never got into Tool so I can't comment on them. Of course Jane's Addiction weren't the only good band of the 90's. There were many others like Nirvana, STP, Soundgarden, of course RATM, Guns and Roses were decent except for their excesses with glam. Of course I'm older now and much busier in my life so I don't have time to idly listen to music like in my youth. But what I do hear just seems so vacant and gutless.
Smells Like Teen Spirit is overrated, and it is one of Avril Lavignes favourite songs, so you could hate them for that, but I think they were one of the few good bands of the
kurt was a decent guitarist, but i dont think nirvana is overrated, jst "smells liketeen spirit" is. unfortunatley alot of posers like nirvana jst b/c of the song "smells like teen spirit", even tough "smells like teen spirit" is the most plagerised song ever written.
but janes addiction is a great band, with lots of feel
Jane's played the John The Baptist role in the whole "alternative/grunge" revolution. They prepared the way. In 1990 there was only one band that could draw punks, metalheads, goths, hippies, hardcore kids, stoners, and frat boys.
dawglover70, vosattestor and ledbowman you're right...
...nirvana are fucking overrated, expecially kurt...he wasn't a great guitarist neither had a particular voice because other singers sang like him and before him...he was like layne styley,eddie vedder ecc...not better...
vosattestor: Exactly. If any one man is responsible for making Jane's what it is, it's Avery. Deconstruction made that very clear (with Navarro's help.)
dawglover70: Like this song, most of Jane's songs were written around bass lines, the drums and guitar are as unique, once Perry didn't want to work/share credits/publishing with Avery and started to believe that he was, or that Jane's was "His baby", it was over, Perry deserve no "solo" credit, His stuff without Jane's sucks or half suck (Porno4pyros)
"Straws" is good rock, but without Avery's bass there is no trip, no mood, like in "up the beach", "summertime rolls" or "Three days" you name it
If this were released right now it would still sound new/raw/different to todays music.Perry wrote all the lyrics and is fucking brilliant.He deserves all the credit Kurt got for changing music.They were doing this 5-6 years before anyone had heard of Nirvana.
I saw Jane's in 1991 and on their reunion tour (minus Eric A). The first time they were among the best bands I had ever seen. The second time around ... there was just something missing. It just didn't compare. It's a shame.
you know what im sick of seeing all the negative comments. janes was a fucking brilliant band. and who ever says otherwise doesnt know fuck all about music. if you dont like this band dont watch simple
Similar sentiments as well. What an amazing show. I remember Body Count priming the pump for NIN and then the eventual avalanche of people breaking through security into th pavillion. I was awe struck at the perfromance that Janes put on. Changed my life. Lamenting those days quite a bit of late. Seen Janes a few times in the past 5 years and it has yet to be as good as it was back then.

I remember this tour as the coming together of the outcast tribes. The goths, the punks, the skaters... all celebrating our freakhood together. No one else knew or cared. This was like the last moment it was "ours". Only one month later, Nirvana would release Nevermind and the scene would be changed forever. By Christmas of that year, the frat guy I delivered pizzas with was reciting the lyrics to "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and I got this sick little feeling in the pit of my stomach.

So So true kaos monkey. I stumbled across this and remember Perry getting pissed about the glow stick incident. I was tripping my balls off and staring at this chick who would morph into snake at the back of the lawn. so many memories of this first lollapalloza tour. Great ,Great show.

I would like to say I no longer advocate the use of Hallucinogens like LSD. I am not saying I did not have fun. However, Serious hallucinogens are in my opinion highly dangerous-especially to those who are even a tiny bit psychologically unsound upon ingesting them. Further, it is because they are so spiritually opening. Modern psychology because of its atheistic paradigm never addresses this peril. Not saying you are gonna lose your soul but you could. God Bless one and all.

@kaosmonkeyBG everybody credits Nirvana! Yet anyone who was there knows it was Jane's and The Pixies that started that swell which eventually formed the perfect wave, when it crashed on the shore, out spit Nirvana with their single. Then Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc. All great bands--but comparing them to Jane's is like comparing other actors to Brando.

@Fakename70 I was being "elitist" by remembering what it was like to be an outcast? Let me guess. You're in a frat. You little boys are all so high strung. Roid rage much?
kaosmonkeyBG 5 months ago
@kaosmonkeyBG
I'm 41 --- not in a frat --- and, never did I think back then it was "the coming together of the outcast tribes" or whatever. It was just good music, remember? Who gives a fuck if frat boys got into it too? Why would having all types getting into JA and the rest of the bands seen on 120 Minutes give you a "sick little feeling"? That's just another way of saying "outsiders keep away". That makes you no different from those who made you feel like an outcast in the first place.

@Fakename70 All I hear you saying is "I am a very bitter man who enjoys hating on people, especially when they can't see my face." I took the time to write a description of the way I felt 20 years ago. Let me say that again, 20 years ago. Get over it.
kaosmonkeyBG 5 months ago
@kaosmonkeyBG
Exactly who is it that I'm "hating on"? It wasn't me who got physically ill because someone outside my comfort zone listened to the same music as me. That was YOU, remember? It may have been 20 years ago, but, it doesn't sound to me like you've gotten over it at all. From the way you automatically assumed I'm one of the "little boys in a frat" and then responded accordingly, clearly you haven't.
Fakename70 5 months ago
@Fakename70 Let be more descriptive. I was one of maybe 4 people in my high school who was listening to this stuff. I was shat upon as much for my musical tastes as much as for the fact that I rode a skateboard. To find out that the hockey player types who had made my life hell were suddenly into the same music I'd been listening to for years did not make me happy. How is that hard to understand? Seriously.
kaosmonkeyBG 5 months ago
@kaosmonkeyBG
No, let ME be more descriptive. You're talking to someone who grew-up black in a painfully and predominately white suburb of Seattle in the 1970's-1980's. Do you really believe you're the only one who's ever been "shat upon"? And, you're crying about some "hockey player types" listening to Jane's fucking Addiction? Wow. News Flash: you're only 2-3 years younger than me. We're not in junior high anymore. Time to move on. Now, "how is that hard to understand? Seriously."
Fakename70 5 months ago 2
@Fakename70 Wow. Just wow. I was at this show. My 20th birthday, in fact. Spent a good portion of the earlier acts wandering through the immense crowd. I recall that beautiful sunset and then Jane's taking the stage and painting the crowd with Three Days and Then She Did. Sort of a 'things will never be the same again', moment. I feel like I've just traveled back in time. Been feeling that a lot, lately. Hello HC,sorry that I never found you in the crowd.

Then I read rumors of them breaking up and it made sense. So I saw them at Irvine Meadows for Lollapalooza and as i was walking out of the arena I heard Pelly (The Gift) say this was their last show blah blah and then they played Jane Says acoustic. I remember thinking "man what a great band and what a weird ( i was stoned) ending." Well I guess they're still around but they captured a period of time in LA that i'll never forget. Rock on Janes!
wijreel 2 years ago 2
I was there too - a completely amazing live experience. I remember Perry flashing the crowd with some transvestite costume at some point. I was really tripping at the time. Anyway - one of the best concerts I can remember was that first Lollapalooza - great crowd, great vibe, amazing music - it was a moment that would be hard to ever emulate.
IamZeZetheX 2 years ago 2
My memory was The Ritual tour in 91 in LA and Perry was either drunk, stoned, both, pissed, drugged or all of the above because he just went through the show as quickly as possible and was insulting the crowd. sayin shit like "you paid your money so here we are blah blah blah... It was a cool stage( Xmas lights strewn and good lighting, but just a shitty attitude).

gallucho 2 years ago
I, too, was at this show! What a gem!! Remember standing on the side of the pavillion with some dude in a bucket hat reciting Public Enemy to the security guard. At some point he said 'do you really think you're gonna hold us back when jane's comes on?' - lights went down, bass from Up the Beach sounded, and we literally blasted through the blockade and into the pit...intense energy; intense show!!
taiken408 2 years ago
I was at this show too. The craziness actually started with Ice-T then just exploded with NIN. I was standing against the rope when it was cut and instantly was midway up the pavilion. I have seen 100s of concerts and I still think this Lollapalooza show was the best. It was absolutely insane and literally had something for everyone. Any other footage from this show would be greatly appreciated if you have it.

Oh my GOD....I was at this concert. In fact, I think you can see me in a couple shots here. It was a very wild show and I don't think the security was prepared for the event. They had a rope separating the lawn from the pavilion. Right before NIN went on, the rope was cut then all hell broke out. This set ended early because someone threw a glow stick at Perry and it caught him in the eye. I wish I had this whole show like this...even a bootleg. If anyone has more info, please post!

@mgordonf73
I was there too!
Yeah, it was friggin' wild. I remember the pavilion seats getting overrun (I had good pavilion seats I then had to share with crashers).
Did not know about the glow stick, but I believe it. - I remember it seemed to be a battle between anarchy and order for a while.
Awesome, totally awesome.
At least as good as being around in the '60's!

@chimproller
Oh man, a battle between chaos and order alright. I remember the look of abject terror on the face of one of the security guards as he clung to one lone section of steel security fencing when the NIN explosion happened. They got it all back under control for Souixsie's set, but as soon as the first chord of "Up the Beach" rang out, that was me and the rest of the lawn crashing our way towards the stage. There was just no stopping that sea of people. Great reading all the memories!

@mgordonf73 - I started the day on the lawn and ended close enough to slap Dave's guitar ( I didn't but I could have). It was nuts. I met the guys from Body Count. What a day.

@mgordonf73 Actually, the rope broke during NIN. Body Count got people going, and one song into NIN's set the rope broke. This was before Broken even came out. No one expected, knew how heavy it would be. and lets not forget that Siouxie kicked total ass right before Janes.

I was there too! This is the one time I saw Janes and it's still the best show I've ever seen. My theory is that with this being the first show in Cleveland NIN had done since conquering the world with Pretty Hate Machine (The crowd rushed the stage for them too remember), Perry and the gang kicked it up a notch to show no one could out rock them. And they weren't wrong! Perry's most memorable line of the night..."I'm so horny I need a blowjob from god himself!".

It's bands like Jane's Addiction that keep me from following any current bands. There is absolutely nothing out nowadays that even comes close to matching Jane's Addiction power and musical talent. I'm 40 years old now but am glad that I was able to see Jane's Addiction when I was young. I caught them twice at Club Scream in LA, once at the Universal Amphitheater, twice at the John Anson Ford Theater, and one last time at the first Lollapalooza. They were absolutely in their prime then.

Rage against the machine were a very good band. I never got into Tool so I can't comment on them. Of course Jane's Addiction weren't the only good band of the 90's. There were many others like Nirvana, STP, Soundgarden, of course RATM, Guns and Roses were decent except for their excesses with glam. Of course I'm older now and much busier in my life so I don't have time to idly listen to music like in my youth. But what I do hear just seems so vacant and gutless.

Jane's played the John The Baptist role in the whole "alternative/grunge" revolution. They prepared the way. In 1990 there was only one band that could draw punks, metalheads, goths, hippies, hardcore kids, stoners, and frat boys.

dawglover70: Like this song, most of Jane's songs were written around bass lines, the drums and guitar are as unique, once Perry didn't want to work/share credits/publishing with Avery and started to believe that he was, or that Jane's was "His baby", it was over, Perry deserve no "solo" credit, His stuff without Jane's sucks or half suck (Porno4pyros)
"Straws" is good rock, but without Avery's bass there is no trip, no mood, like in "up the beach", "summertime rolls" or "Three days" you name it
