JANE'S ADDICTION guitarist Dave Navarro has issued the following recap of the band's November 20th show at El Cid in Los Angeles:
"The show went really well. During 'Then She Did' some kind of ghost invaded the circuitry in my amp and pretty much shut it down. We managed to get through it thanks to Dan, my tech, and the skills of my bandmates. With Perkins and Avery as the rhythm section, things just keep moving along regardless of any technical issue. After 'Then She Did', Perry's amazing ability to captivate any room allowed him to engage the audience for 5-10 minutes while my equipment was being repaired. Once Dan solved the issue, we were back in the swing. The set was: 'Whores', 'Trip Away', 'Standing In The Shower', 'Mountain', 'Ain't No Right', 'No One's Leaving', 'Then She Did', '1%', 'Stop', 'Had A Dad', 'Ocean', 'Chip Away'.There were rumors online that the show was for friends and family only. That was NOT the case. Here is the call I made to El Cid when I found this out on Dark Matter.
I know that some people didn't make it in, but overall the night was much smoother than the La Cita show in terms of getting the fans in. Wristbands were handed out to the people waiting in line during the day to assure entry. I have to hand it to our management team and crew for seeing to our concerns about this.
The whole night really felt like the old days... the music, the line up, the fans, Christmas lights, candles, a hot little club, things breaking down on stage, the entire audience singing along with every word of the set. What a spectacular way to spend a Thursday night! Thank you to everyone who came down to support us. A few people have asked about the posters that were handed out. I'll see if I can scrape a couple up and give them out on Dark Matter next Wednesday. They really are beautiful."
