JANE'S ADDICTION performed on Thursday, October 23rd at La Cita Bar in downtown Los Angeles, California. Guitarist dave Navarro has checked in with the following update:

"OK, Before I get into this, let me just say how sorry we are to everyone who came all the way down to the show and waited in line, only to be turned away at the last minute. Evidently, the fire marshal came down and limited our audience. According to this music blog many of our own friends and family members were unable to attend as a result and it looks as though we are simply going to have to make it up to everybody somehow!

Having said that, the night was just fantastic. La Cita is an extremely small venue with amazingly low ceilings. I have to say that it really felt like it was the ‘old school’ 1987 Jane's. A tiny little Mexican bar adorned with Christmas lights, hot sweaty and humid, loud and songs we haven't played in forever on the set including 'Trip Away' and '1%' off our very first XXX record. We had an amazing time. Eric Avery brought the bottom punk rock glue that we have been missing for years. Don't get me wrong, our times with Flea, Martyn and Chaney will never be overlooked and we love all of them deeply. In some ways they are heavily responsible for helping us get to the place where we are now, but the fact remains that this machine cannot really run as well with after market parts. Jane's Addiction has to be fully stock in order to do what it does best. That is something that many have been saying for years but I am and always will be eternally grateful to those three very talented and special musicians.

After the show, Tom Morello and I spoke for a few minutes about this very thing. I think he said something like, ‘I have always enjoyed the Jane's rock no matter the line up but you can't deny the chemistry of four guys who are supposed to be playing together.’ I couldn't agree more. Perry was just as riveting and mesmerizing as he has ever been. That guy is such an undeniable entertainer! After all of these years, I still catch myself looking over to my left, captivated by his onstage energy. What an amazing honor to still be playing with my favorite all time singer and frontman. Perkins was literally on fire all night. When he is in his zone, it's like Shiva is back there with a drumstick in each hand. Watching him play drums is like watching him defy human restraints and logic. Unbelievable.

Here is the set we played: 'Up The Beach', 'Trip Away', 'Whores', '1%', 'Ain't No Right', 'Pigs In Zen', 'Ted... Just Admit It', 'Oceansize', 'Had A Dad', 'Been Caught Stealing'. The quick non-stop pace left all of us and just about everybody drenched by the end of the hour. Todd was there with a couple of our friends capturing the night on three cameras so there will be tons of footage to sift through and put together for a guerilla style video clip of the evening. Thanks to everyone who made this night possible. Our audience, friends, family, crew, La Cita and whatever order the stars and planets happened to be in last night. Everything came together, hopefully not for the last time.

Thanx to Sue, here is a clip of 'Oceansize'."
