178.0. "Jane's Addiction" by FORTY2::BERKELEY () Fri Mar 20 1992 10:47

	I'm not going to go into great detail about why I think they're
	one of the best bands I've seen in years, or one of the greatest
	to slap on the player *very* loud when you come in from a 
	long day (or even a short one).

	But if anyone has information about upcoming concerts...(saw them
	play their "last ever" gig in the Brixton Academy last year; yes, 
	they're one of those bands, but I'm worried they really will break
	up one of these days!)...in London or the Bay Area, let me know?

	Also, if anyone wants to give them a go, I recommend Ritual de
	lo Habitual as an intro. And if you can get your hands on a live
	bootleg (did I say that?), they are one of the few bands I think
	sound even more superb on a live tape than a studio one. Am I the
	only one who hates listening to crowd roars in between unfamiliar
	versions of the songs I like?? But JA do covers of their own stuff
	that get better and better (e.g. live version of Jane Says at an
	LA concert in 1990)

	ok, I'll stop now.

178.1Been Caught StealingREFINE::BARKERBilly Thorpe rules!!!Fri Mar 20 1992 10:598
    I liked Perry Farrell's costume choice for the 'last' performance.  If
    anyone saw the article in Rolling Stone, that photographer must have
    taken a zillon shots before Perry's arm was in just the right spot to
    obscure his...  Anyway, I like them too, and having heard some of the
    live stuff, I'd agree with -1 that they're probably one of those bands
    that is better live than they sound on the studio albums.

178.2Jim Says'sSOURCE::ZAPPIApunk rock pollyFri Mar 20 1992 11:1815
	Unlike some people I'm not going to tell you where to go but you might
	want to see note #276 in RADIO_RADIO.  Actually I can see the day when
	all the other conferences turn into MUSIC or pretty close to it.

	The last I heard is that they were supposed to release an official
	outakes EP from the Ritual de lo Habitual sessions but I have yet to
	see anything.

	Also, Perry Farrel is again going to be involved in next year's
	Lollapalooza show primarily on the event planning side of things.
	
	They may even take the show to Europe, etc. next year.

	I was told over the weekend that Jane's Addiction split up
	most finally and without a doubt last summer in L.A. [Fist-
	fight on stage? Shurely shome mishtake!]

	Ok, so I was living in a fool's paradise. Still, better than
	a sane man's hell...

178.4their version of "Sympathy for the Devil"SMURF::BREAUElvis rockabilly or sequin? Both!Mon Mar 23 1992 15:209
    
    Can someone tell me if their version of "Sympathy for the Devil" is
    available in any form?   I haven't seen it listed on any CDs I've seen. 
    I heard it in the movie, "Alien Nation," the soundtrack of which I
    cannot find either.  Does anyone know if it's on the soundtrack CD? 
    Quite often, several songs from a movie are left out of the soundtrack CD.
    Thanks.

    I've seen the self-titled album on CD many times in the Boston area
    (although not for about half a year).
