It's amazing how much better the song sounds when Perry sings the melody as it was written.

Also... THAT ECHO is everything right about how he's supposed to sound.

[nausearockpig]

I reckon that song would be loved more universally by us-types if it wasn't a single or it wasn't overplayed by the radio at the time, and probably today.

If you listen to it in the context of the album and ignore the video clip, you can hear that it's a really good song - made up of really great parts... like all other JA1.0 songs..

Yeah PF sounds fucking good there with that delay on his voice and him not trying to lounge sing it...

That echo/reverb was a vital part of the JA sound. When Perry came up with the brilliant idea that he didn't need it, another piece of JA's soul was destroyed.

If somebody has the individual tracks for some of the newer songs, I'd love to hear a version of, say, Underground, with proper echo in Perry's voice.

I watched a few of the Download songs off the back of that. NONE of them look interested.

[Larry B.]

And by NONE you literally mean NONE. Nobody on the stage, nobody in the audience... fucking nobody cares.

And how was that?

That was the worst cover of 3 days I have ever seen....uninspired and decayed.

Interesting to me.....the blond oozed sex and that's easy on the eyes. Cheney looks like he's been working out and going with the EA look.

Dave playing that solo looks about as excited as I do when I'm doing laundry or something

no echo pedal is gonna save that strange song. As Henry Rollins said: You can dress up a pig, but its still a pig

Just to remind myself what was then and what is now.

I get that they have to drop the tunings for the vocals. I don't understand why they have now dropped the tempos on all the songs as well. Are they playing to a click now or something? I definitely don't think they were for NINJA. This band is NOT a click track band.

that makes me sad.

Perry's singing off key.

They're bigger in America, so they still draw crowds. In Europe no one gives a shit about a washed up 90's act.

Hence them playing at 3 in the afternoon to an uninterested festival crowd, who are only standing there to watch the next act.

Hence them playing at 3 in the afternoon FOR FORTY-FIVE MINUTES to an uninterested festival crowd, who are only standing there to watch the next act.

thats from Jules Holland "later with" an absolute belter they did Janes says as well if i recall correctly - also on Jules' "no nirvana" with sonic youth, rage against, dinosaur jnr, screaming trees, etc - an absolute gem from the 90's

[Matz]

fuck that Jules guy has had that show for that long? It's still on I believe

[Pandemonium]

"Jools," guys. Not Jules as in Verne. Jools Holland. (etty!)

IMO, his show has been the best live music showcase since the early 90's. I think it used to be called Music Night for a couple years until 1992. About 10 years ago, there was a slew of compilations dvds released featured close to 20 different live performances from shows up to that time. You could spend an entire evening sifting through great clips from the show on youtube.

[Matz]

right. I actually did know it's Jools, Jools Holland in full I believe or something like that

If you are referring to Download, believe it or not, Jane's were actually the headline act on the Encore stage. This is a headlining performance!

[panicparty]

Last time (I think) Jane's played Jools was when they were touring Strays in November '03. They did Just Because and one other, probably Stealing. They did JB acoustic / stripped back / unplugged style. I quite enjoyed it at the time. In hindsight, it might have been the start of the rot setting in since Perry's chosen to do something similar to so many of the classic numbers since then. Still, it was a decent performance. They also did JB the same way (acoustic, slow) when I saw them a few nights later in Nottingham.

Agree 100 percent. Man, I wish there was a full '91 set of this quality.

Jools had porno on his show as well don't forget

Yer right!!!!…But it's not just the delay...he used that detune chorus thing that the studio guy set up for him when they were recording ritual ....A step up...a step down...It gave him that really wild vocal sound that has been missing for a long time....Now with ear monitors it probably wouldn't even throw him off pitch...Never could figure out why he felt the need to prove he could sing without that swirl?...maybe some songs to mix it up but?...it worked really well
