I was there...fucking immense. Still sad they cancelled Reading. Crowd was heaving that night. Navarro approached me before the show to see if I had or could get him some speed! Kid you not. Man, I fucking loved this band. Must have seen the original band about 20 times. Absolute transcending heaven type soaring emotion...I can't even explain....just GOOD BEYOND WORDS! Thanks for uploading. :-)

This was the first of two amazing "secret" shows at the great Subterrania venue. These were warm-up gigs for their scheduled gig at the Reading Festival, which they had to cancel, as well as the upcoming European leg of the Ritual de lo Habitual tour. I think that album had come out the week of these shows, but almost all of the songs played here are from Nothing's Shocking. I was living in London at the time for eight months and was lucky enough to catch these shows about a month before I had to return to the US. I remember the only advertising for this was a small ad in Melody Maker and probably NME for the band Tragic Roundabout that said "There's Nothing Shocking about the very special U.S. guests" (or something like that). Amazing shows... thanks for posting this. All that's missing is "Jane Says", which I know was done as the last encore (with steel drums and all), although this may have been only performed at the end of the second night - I can't remember. That would explain why it's not included in this video. If someone does have that recording of "Jane Says" please post it as that was the amazing end of these shows. Tonight, 27 years later in 2017, I have a ticket to see them at the fairly small Ogden Theater in Denver, Colorado... happy to still be alive after all these years.

i was there and I have seen myself on here, aged only 18 stage diving during Ocean Size. Best gig ever, Jane's Addiction changed my life. Thank you so so so much for uploading.

Weird to see this after all these years. I travelled down to Ladbrook Grove from East Ham with a girl I fancied at college to see this band. It took forever and I was surprised that the concert was sold out, so we had to turn around and head home. Didn't see the band but still a great memory ha ha.

i was at this gig what a night !! went backstage and chatted to perry who was unbelievably sat on his own this band were untouchable at this time ..saw them loads but this gig was a momentous one

Faith No More were at the bar upstairs. Mike Bordin was on a stool next to me air drumming as I ordered a pint.

There really is no substitute for youth, drugs, and Eric Avery...

Thanks so much. Amazing! I was there - such a great night. I watched the whole of the downstairs audience fall sideways at one point... :-D

Words fall short describing this gig. They set the bar so fuckin high. Guess you just had to be there. My girlfriend at the time kissed Eric after the show he gave here his guitar pick. I still have it !!

Wow. I was at this gig. Great memories. thanks for sharing.

I was there. Also the next night that got called off. Incredible gig.

Thanks mate excellent post

LOVE THIS!!!!

I was here; got in on Perry’s pest list and still have Eric’s set list. Nothing compares.

yeah man I was at this one as well, fantastic gig, was going to the second night as well that was cancelled, thanks for posting

Wow just randomly looked up this show I was there as well think it was my second or third week living in London. We had been to the club the week before and saw this kinda secret warmup gig and got tix. Was incredible, rumor was Perry was fresh out of rehab (whether it was true or not) and was just blown away. Awesome I found this, and per earlier comment definitely not 22/9/90 because that date was definitely by 21st birthday and I was definitely in Amsterdam lol.

I watched this So much I had to Boot-Leg the Boot-Leg . . . ! x

i was there... extraordinary... thanks for posting

Was born 6 years too late for this. Got to see them a couple of times in '03 but, y'know, that wasn't THIS. Well jel.

That was great. Respect to Eric

God dammit, fucking Jane’s was THE band of the 90s, idc what anyone else… great drugs, unbelievably soul leaving live experiences, it was like a damn Shamanic ritual each and every night was so unique. I’m a fucking sucker for 1990 shows but I really dug they’re comeback spins in 97 with Flea too. Shit was super cool

perry lost his voice at the second gig, was there both nights, fuckin brilliant

The day, man. '90 was amazing. Eric...fresh outta rehab. (I know...'cause he moved into my flat in Santa Monica.)

Is there a video or bootleg of the previous night as I was there and got on the mic

Didn't they pull out of the Reading festival on the back of these two gigs? This was a great night at a great club

thanks for posting this awesome show but I believe it is from 22/9/90 according to the set list

Two amazing nights. So fucking hot.

Was there. It was sweaty. They'd blown the Wonderstuff off the stage in Brixton the night before....

Drugs do work 👌 awesome stuff.

This unfortunately was the best life got before the internet. In 2014 everything especially the music is better.
