Big ups for posting this. I was at this magical show, never thought I'd ever see it again outside of my dreams.

@leminyelloblak That's awesome. I got to meet Mike Watt at a fIREHOSE gig in Tuscaloosa, AL, on the Flyin' the Flannel tour. He was sittin at the bar in between sets & I went up to him & asked him the last time he had seen Flea. He looked over at me & said, "Uh, a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, he said he was gonna teach me how to play tuba." That was enough for me so I just laughed and shook his hand and got ready for the next set. I got to meet George Hurley too. Big influence!!

@salvinni The "sermon" says: "Do you know someone who is dead... like I do... like I do... well don't worry about your head... the way I see it... it's not how you die, or when you die, it's just the way that you die... don't wanna die of old age... I wanna die doing something I love to do (wonder what he was talking about there)...you know that would be alright by me... that would be alright by me"

[leminyelloblak]

@salvinni Yeah... the version you are talking about was from their last tour with Eric Avery in '91 (the first Lollapalooza). I have a box set called "Addicted" with that concert on it. That CD is all one concert. I forget the location where it was recorded though. I'll have to dig it out and post it on here. Though it obviously won't include the video; I'm sure a lot of fans would love just to hear the audio. You're right... the "reverend" Perry sure can give a good "sermon".

[leminyelloblak]

@drewper73 Yeah, he was my main influence on drums. I got to hang out with him in LA in '99. He, Mike Watt and Peter DiStefano used to play gigs at this place called 14 Below in Santa Monica under the band name "Hellride". Aside from being a bad-ass drummer; Stephen is also a very cool, down-to-earth dude. Hangin' out with him (my hero basically) is definitely one of the very high points in my whole life.

@inkompleet78 Right?? Flea was in Jane's for a little while during offtime with the chili peppers

[Haizeron]

I've never liked bands with a main vocalist that did nothing but sing. Not saying it is a hard and fast rule, but pick up a guitar or something. There has been only one exception, and that is if it is Perry Farrell.

[Zanthxs]

Whoa... incredible performance on all parts... Power to Creativity.

@seannelson1969.. I figured something had to have happened to his mother, but had no idea how tragic it was, especially with him being three years old. The lyrics I posted, sadly, make a lot of sense now. Wow.

[cameronobscura22]

@seannelson1969 .. holy shit, are you serious? Will you say hello to my ma? Will you pay a visit to her? She was an artist, just as you were. I'd have introduced you to her. She would take me out on Sundays. We'd go laughing through the garbage. She repaired legs like a doctor On the kitchen chairs we sat on. She was unhappy, just as you were. Unhappy, just as you were. Unhappy, just as you were. Unhappy, just as you were...
