I got my ticket the day before the show and tried to listen to as much Jane’s Addiction old stuff as I could find on Spotify. The day of the show came and I couldn’t get a ticket for my buddy on Ticketmaster or Stubhub. All sold out. Had I known that this show was moved indoors I would have left my Poncho in my car, but got to hold the “Frogg Togg” all night for the show. This was my first time seeing Jane’s Addiction live. Been a fan since the 90’s, but a superfan since 2003 when “Strays” came out. I love every song on that album. They didn’t play a single song from Strays but it was still a great concert. A punk metal band opened called Radkey, and they were a spot on excellent trio. All African American youngsters with mad skills and great stage presence. I watched them from the Pit section, and met a few friendly people down there right before the band went on.

They had a “Shoegaze” indie, almost Pink Floyd vibe to them. Often they would switch instruments and the bassist would play guitar for a song. The guitarist would play bass. Sometimes the guy on the left would even play keyboards while the lead singer/guitarist played guitar. You get it. A very talented band that I had never heard of. The band had three projection screens behind them while they played. It made the show more intruiging and added a lot of pazazz to their stage presence. So I made a few new friends at this show and the older gents I was hanging with even saved my spot while I walked around. That’s the kind of thing that makes me keep going to shows, the comradery that you find there between complete strangers.
