The “real band” vibes feel good after so many years. Wish Dave was there to partake (and that partaking was meaningful for him).

Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread
It gets harder and harder to envision Dave in the band.
Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread
Good work!
Josh looks really young but he's actually 43! (Just looked it up) Did he have a relationship with PJ Harvey?? I read that too but don't know if it's true.

I never check out his Instagram so I don't know if he has ever addressed it, but is there a reason why Dave always dresses like a wizard now?
Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread
Dave rocks lifts? is he Tom Cruise short?
Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread
They’re all very small. And Dave is super self conscious about it. He insisted that he appear to be the tallest on the Strays cover.

Josh’s extra shit on the second half of the Three Days solo in Vegas was such fire I don’t miss Dave. Phasers on MELT FACE. And he played the necessary parts, too. It’s definitely Jane’s Addiction.

Even more Josh-centric audio, you can hear every note: https://youtu.be/VYLgupJIts0
Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread
Yeah I paid pretty close attention to his playing on Three Days in Vegas. While it doesn't sound exactly like Dave, I still thought he sounded like himself but played it pretty faithfully to the original. Gonna check out these clips.
edit: after listening to both of those clips, that was pretty much my memory of it. Not Dave perfect, but more than adequate. I forget if it was ANR or 1%, but I thought they especially crushed it on one of the songs early on in the set. First time hearing Trip Away or Obvious live for me, so that was pretty neat. Kettle Whistle sounded great too.

I met Dave once at an after show during the One Hot Minute tour. I couldn't believe how short he was. We talked about Deconstruction for a bit, which i was obsessed with at the time. I was 19.. maybe 20 and super nervous to meet one of Jane's Addiction. He was literally the sweetest guy ever. My friend who introduced us said.. you know this Chilli peppers thing is good .. but you really should get Jane's back together, He kinda sighed and said yeh.. I know. (this was pre relapse tour)
I also remember the minute he appeared, literally every woman in the place just flocked towards him.. He had some sort of dark vampire allure.

Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread
Dave is a petite man. I guess for a guy that's not really a compliment, but he is small in build, height about about 5'4 or 5'5.

Was that the wembley 1996 show? That was my first proper gig! A friend of mine got backstage through Blackie Dammet and the RHcp fanclub. He told me that Dave was my far the friendliest with the fans.

No, it was Brixton Academy. Ironically we saw Dave and Chad at a Primus gig the week before that. (amazing show) I did go to the Wembley 96 show though - What a great gig that was. I remember seeing the actor Stephen Dorff hanging around looking depressed (another short arse)
Re: JA March 2023 Tour Thread
He's not THAT short.
I am 5'10" and the few times I met him he was always around my height. And that was before the giant lifted boots he wears now.
I'd say more like 5'9"
