Jasper wrote:My friend sent a text last night telling me that Jane's is performing in his town in NY. He's a casual fan, so he's not up on JA things at all. He was with me at the Relapse show at the Hammerstein Ballroom on Halloween in 1997, and he was also with me at a P4P Enit show in Massachusetts, so he has personally witnessed better days.

I don't know what to tell him. It's possible he could have a good time, but it's also possible I could spare him a terrible disappointment.
to the casual fan it would probably be a great time.

i'm sure most of us would probably still have an ok time. i just refuse to support the laziest band ever. there are just so many times i can pay to see the same 12 songs over and over.

I dont think theyre much different now than the shows Jaspers friend witnessed live. Perrys voice was already toast by then. There is a greater difference between janes 1991 thru 1997 than there is from janes 1997 thru 2015.

I say consider it an experiment. Don't tell your friend what you think of the band now. It would be interesting to hear the opinion of someone now who hasn't been so emotionally invested like many of us here.

He's too good of a friend for me to use him as a guinea pig. I'll just give him a mild version of my opinion.

To the casual fan, even non fans, they'll fucking love the shows. Are you kidding me. There still a pretty darn good cover band of the themselves. and Sometimes they are even spot on. If Perry feels good it's still a good show.

Ted, Ocean, 3 Days, hopefully Whores. These still rock.

Normally I wouldn't agree with bman on present day Jane's, but I agree. Jane's Addiction as a live band is still good, they just aren't great as we have seen.

They certainly held their own last time I saw them. Perry can't really sing anymore, but musically the other 3 are still solid. It's worth seeing for a casual fan. Especially if tickets are reasonable.

Jane Says Alaska.

7/24: Blue Loon in Anchorage and 7/25 at Moose Tooth pub. Now that is a crowd I'd like to see.

Even Bman finally admits that watching the crowd would be more interesting than watching the band. :lol:

Oh Perry. You stupid, stupid man. 1998 and 2010 were the two years this band could have reclaimed some of their glory and instead they crapped it away. First Perry let religion screw it up, then his wife.

All of your scorn is misplaced and should be saved for when they sink to lower depths...they haven't played at any malls yet have they?

That's in the middle of the lower east side of Manhattan and I was in the neighborhood last week...not a mall...stores are ok imo, especially if they're at least near something cool...but if they play in a mall with the stage across from a Forever 21 and a Footlocker I'll have to start cosigning on this section of the site... :lol:

They played in Mexican restaurants and pizza joints before. If Eric was on this tour everyone here would be jumping for joy. I wonder how this tour is selling. I think the NJ and Long Island Huntington shows will sell ok. I can't really see any crowd in Port Chester. I hope they have a good turn out.
