Jane Says....
Last
night’s concert at the 713 Music Hall in H-Town was a celebration of
eclectic rock and alternative vibes, showcasing the legendary Jane's
Addiction alongside the enigmatic Love & Rockets. The event
delivered on its promise of an unforgettable night, weaving together a
rich tapestry of music that spanned genres and decades.
Kicking
off the night was Love & Rockets, a band that has maintained its
mystique and influence over the years. Made up by member Daniel Ash,
Kevin Haskins and David J. Their performance was a testament to their
enduring relevance in the alternative rock scene. The band delivered a
set that was both nostalgic and fresh, drawing from their classic hits
while infusing new energy into their performance. Their sound was
characterized by a rich blend of psychedelic rock and post-punk, with
standout moments including renditions of “So Alive” and “Ball of Confusion.”
Love & Rockets’ performance was marked by a deep sense of artistry
and a clear connection with the audience, making it a standout portion
of the night.
When
Jane's Addiction finally took the stage, the atmosphere was electric
with anticipation. The band's presence was commanding as they launched
into their set with the same raw energy that has defined their career.
Perry Farrell, ever the charismatic frontman, engaged with the crowd in
a way that only he can, his voice as dynamic and compelling as ever.
The setlist was a carefully curated journey through their most iconic
tracks, including “Jane Says” and “Mountain Song” each one met with rapturous applause and enthusiastic sing-alongs from the audience.
The
stage design, featuring a mix of vibrant lights, enhanced the overall
experience, making each song a multisensory event. Dave Navarro’s
guitar work and Stephen Perkins’ drumming driving the high-energy
performance. The encore was a particular triumph, with the band closing
out the night with an explosive rendition of “Been Caught Stealing”
that left the audience roaring for more. Jane’s current lineup is:
Perry Farrell - Vocals, guitar and keys, Eric Avery - Bass, Dave
Navarro – Guitar and Stephen Perkins - Drums.
Overall,
the concert was a celebration of musical artistry and an example of how
diverse acts can come together to create an unforgettable night. Love
& Rockets brought a wave of nostalgia and artistic flair, and
