Perry is an old man that can't sing and can no longer entertain. Put a fork in him, he's done.

Wicky Wicky done. Done done. GET YOUR HANDS UP! Wicky wicky done. Oontz oontz doof doof doof. Done duh-duh-duh-duh-done. Done. Oontz oontz doof doof. DONE. :aoa:

He needs to stop trying to be himself from the past. Bowie, Petty, Springsteen, Waits.. you can be an old dude and still get it done on the stage. Don't know why Perry thinks he has to try to go back to 1988. Too much phoniness in his life (cough, etty, cough). He really could have aged gracefully with more songs along the lines of "Pete's Dad" and "Of Course" but no he's gotta try straining thru "Ain't No Right" and "Stop" every show. Break thru the bubble, Perry!

Glad I skipped this (though i wouldnt have paid $125 for anything). Since I didn't see janes in their hey day, I felt like I had to catch up seeing them live. So I saw them a few times since 2009 and now i feel like i never have to see them again. I'm ok with my last show being when they played the brooklyn waterfront in the summer and i was front row. that was a good show to end it on.

maybe if they placed a show at irving plaza again for $15 id check it out. but otherwise, nah.

I think that's my last show too. Good one to go out on, closing with Summertime Rolls. I don't even think they could tear up Irving Plaza nowadays like a few years ago, the show almost stands up to relapse for me, they were amazing. It's sad to say but they are fucking done.

I think Perry has been taking lessons from Scott Weiland

I'd love to see those two duet together. They can lean against each other to stand up, and if they sing into the same mic it will prevent them both from falling asleep.

It's official, Chris Chaney is now more energetic onstage than Perry :lol:

5/15 Sayerville, NJ- Starland Ballroom.

This show was fantastic. At least 20X's better than the Brooklyn Show. I thought Brooklyn was a subpar show. Whatever was ailing Perry on 5/13 he definitely remedied himself tonight. Total night and day performances....First of all, the Starland Ballroom is a great venue. I was there a few years back for Wilco. It's a perfect sized venue with great vantage points everywhere. There's no sides to the stage so you watch from a lot of different areas.

A Place to Bury Strangers opened again and played a bit longer than on Wednesday. They are loud as fuck. They kind of remind me of a cross between Spacemen 3 and a really heavy noisey Joy Division. They aren't bad but a little too art noise rock for me. The Natives were getting restless. Now I am originally from north New Jersey. Sayerville is basically the start of the ' Jersey Shore'. Hometown of Bon Jovie! So the crowd was very Jersey. 35-45. Some gold chains. I saw dozen or so meathead types with muscle tees and looked like they were at some point on Steroids and owned Iroc's. So the opener finally ended after like a 15 minute final song that was all artnoise. There was a handful of meatheads who were yelling "Get The Fuck Off the Stage" etc, and booing them! It was a little embarrassing, but hey, it's Jersey.

So the place is now full. They did sell out the venue and it was absolutely jam packed. Jane's comes on and I know it's going to be great show immediately. The place went nuts. Perry seemed like he was in a great mood as soon as he walked on stage. He was looking much more like a rocker too than on 5/13. Here's the best part, this crazy Jersey crowd sang along to every song. I was pretty impressed with my home state fans! The entire set was a frenzy. Perry worked the entire stage and was interacting with the crowd a lot. It was the complete opposite from the Brooklyn show. His voice was totally on and he was belting it out tonight. Nothing like 5/13.It was a fun fucking show with a crowd who gave a ton of energy. Wish you peeps saw this one.

Nothing's Shocking + Been Caught, Three Days, and Stop. And Yes, the Three Days tonight blew away 5/13. I think Perry just used that Brooklyn gig to warm up his voice and get his sea legs. Proud to be Jane's fan again after tonight!

Wow. Our definition of "good" is definitely on a different scale

All I watched was Ted and it's god awful. Bland. Blah. That product is not worth $125

And Starland which is in the middle of fucking no where, used to be a shit place to see a show. Maybe after there Sandy rebuild they redid the inside but it WAS a terrible venue.

I think they actually did that, but I don't remember at what stage of their meltdown. They went 3 half-steps down.

He talk-sang his way through every one of those and barely moved. He just swayed back and forth a little.

How is this different from the previous night when he just talk-sang and swayed back and forth a little? :confused:

It's just the same shit over and over. Not worth the price at all. How long is NS? 40 minutes? Then they add 3 songs to bring it close to an hour cuz of three days? Not cool charging $125 for that shit, so uninspired.

But then you have to assume that songs are sped up because the natural energy of live shows tend to speed songs up faster than their album version. So you can probably knock 5 minutes off the run time. But then add it back because Perry likes to embarrass himself with ridiculous comments about fucking his anorexic tranny of a wife between songs.

So yeah, they play about 65 minutes.

A band with: a 28 year career, 4 studio albums, a live/bsides/remix collection, and live album, can't figure out how to play a set longer than most new bands who are headlining in support of their very first album.

Considering how much Perry seems to give no fucks about the shows, while the rest of band can actually play everything without issue, I think we can safely assume Perry must be distracted thinking about getting back to his limo to snort some molly and xanax and go clubing with his wife.
