It’s been a good week so far. When you get to see the best live band in metal twice in three days, it’s safe to say that things are going pretty well.

Jane’s Addiction played a series of sold out shows at Los Angeles’ Ford Amphitheatre in April of 1989. This week, they returned for a two night engagement.

Not only was it worth $50, but I think this tour is one of the very best values currently on the road.

I have always loved Scott Weiland. Hopefully next time he’ll be in the mood to play more from his excellent catalog of songs.

“Steven Adler plays with such palpable joy that it’s simply impossible to not be thrilled for him.”

They hit the stage and rocked every bit as hard as when I last saw them, 10 years ago at Ozzfest, where they played in front of thousands of people.

Darius covered the entire event – analysis, tons of photos, and everything you’ve come to expect – all contained inside this post.

“Hearing the first record live, in its entirety, was a treat and it sounded incredible.”

“There is not one single band in music today that sounds like Volbeat.”

Fire away.
