Truth be told, if they couldn't pull out some rarities as encores for the Sunset Strip, the home turf, chances are it'll be NS & the same ol' shit for the CBGB's festival. If this band gave a shit they would do at least ONE punk/NYC homage. But i know they won't.Pandemonium wrote:Heh, I've been going through that routine with Janes since '09 and I think I'm over it now. Aside from a couple rarely played and frankly lesser songs that they've included on this NS series of shows, I couldn't justify even for a free show (and the hassle of navigating and parking on Sunset) seeing them go through the same other 12 or so tunes they've been playing every year. It's close to the same deal with a few other bands I like that still tour regularly like The Cult - do I really need to hear fucking Love Removal Machine and She Sells Sanctuary for the 20th time fronted by a singer who's slowly but surely losing his mojo? At least The Cult has a far larger catalog of songs to slot in numerous other deep cuts amongst the usual burnout hits.SR wrote:It was late September on the Sunset Strip. There were tons of gorgeous girls and music coming from all sides. It was low humidity and the temp ranged from 80 until the sun began to set where it lowered and hovered in the mid 70's. These old men (whom I remember when they were young) appeared and played my favorite album and I listened and I remembered and romanticized some transformative years where I generally had a great time. And it was a great time.
It's also maybe odd to view it this way, but seeing many of my favorite bands from 20 - 30+ years past their prime doing the nostalgia thing especially year after year seems to diminish their original impact on me. Especially a band who's youthful energy was a big part of their appeal.

If I recall, I think we saw the same two shows (Hollywood Bowl '01 and Wiltern NYE '02) and both shows were a big come down from the JA 1.0 and '97 shows for me. Amusingly, the saving grace of the '02 show was the 2 or 3 new Strays songs they debuted way before the album came out that sounded really promising.kv wrote:that's exactly the way i feel...that's what got me through 2001 and 2002...before the sour in my mouth was too much to look past for memories...then when avery came back i hit a club show to close my jane's book with a nice epilog in 09
i didn't do hollywood bowl...hate that place for rock shows...saw them in vegas a couple times...santa barbara..wiltern....funny even writing this...i used to travel for this band...now they play at home and i don't even watch the webcast...ya i remeber seeing them in vegas at rain i think...got the setlist and was stoked, new songs and all there was hope then...now it's just rehash version fuck i lost countPandemonium wrote:If I recall, I think we saw the same two shows (Hollywood Bowl '01 and Wiltern NYE '02) and both shows were a big come down from the JA 1.0 and '97 shows for me.

update: they played two songs on borrowed instruments at the HOB ceremony on the 19th... cool in a way... when was the last time navarro played a les paul? :)
check the videos on youtube, really cool vibe
At least they would open with Kettle Whistle on Jubilee and Perry sounded waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than he does nowbman wrote:These NS shows (and even some of the TGEA shows) are far, far better than the Jubilee/ Strays era shows. Just have fun.
I have to agree. Perk's playing always used to be so melodic compared to nowkv wrote:i am speaking in general...he is boring now...those last 2 records i'd swear he wasn't in the band anymore and they got the nickleback drummer...as for this show..i didn't watch it...made it through about 30 seconds of one youtube video

Why should the band give a shit? Since they know that people are still willing to pay to see them sleepwalk through the same songs year after year, where is the incentive for them to go all out during these shows?Romeo wrote:It's almost like no one in that band gives a shit
+1 for Romeo's take on this. I don't usually disagree with bman - I'm just not as into modern JA as he is, but it's cool that the dude loves the shows so much these days. but to me there's no comparison of anything recent to anything they've done since jubilee. the only caveat is NINJA, for the obvious reason, but I love Martyn so even that is a close call. jubilee was, for me, still the original versions of perry dave and perk. no, perry wasn't nearly as good as he had been when young, but he hit high notes and put on whatever he put on for kettle whistle. and the band played the awesome trio 'obvious' during the set change and a beautiful classic girl on the little stage. I'm not a hater about the TGEA shows but I just can't see them as being a better band now than they were in 01.Romeo wrote:At least they would open with Kettle Whistle on Jubilee and Perry sounded waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better than he does nowbman wrote:These NS shows (and even some of the TGEA shows) are far, far better than the Jubilee/ Strays era shows.
